Look at what I found here:
At first glance this looks somewhat similar to Connection Machine Lisp, but at a larger scale.
Aha... *lisp, you mean?
I mean this paper: http://fresh.homeunix.net/~luke/misc/ConnectionMachineLisp.pdf
These folks had a helluva time writing this paper, I reckon. Indeed, the map/reduce mechanism seems to be a simplified version of a subset of CMLisp. I'm also having a helluva time reading this paper. Among other things I am happy to know that there exists prior art. Regards, Mario.
