From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Euclid (Named after the Greek geometer, fl ca 300 BC.) A {Pascal} descendant for development of verifiable system software. No {goto}, no {side effects}, no global assignments, no functional arguments, no nested procedures, no floats, no {enumeration types}. Pointers are treated as indices of special arrays called collections. To prevent {aliasing}, Euclid forbids any overlap in the list of actual parameters of a procedure. Each procedure gives an imports list, and the compiler determines the identifiers that are implicitly imported. Iterators. Ottawa Euclid is a variant.
