title: Opinions on the Mozart/Oz programming language?
body: <p>I realize that Oz is a fairly obscure language. I first heard about it in the <a href="http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32q/benchmark.php?test=all&amp;lang=oz&amp;lang2=oz" rel="noreferrer">Programming Language Shootout</a>. Then I found <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-paradigm_programming_language" rel="noreferrer">this Wikipedia article</a>, which states <a href="http://www.mozart-oz.org/" rel="noreferrer">Mozart/Oz</a> to support 8 different paradigms.</p>
  
  <p>So I gave it a try. There were plenty of documentation, except that I found it very confusing and lacking. I couldn't find any books or other documentation, and few examples. Also, it seemed to be tightly integrated with Emacs, which I'm not very used to.</p>
  
  <p>What are your opinions of this programming language: is it a complete waste of time? Or can someone point me towards some good resources, etc?</p>
  
  <p>Also, I don't want to use Emacs. Do I have any other options like an interactive interpreter or a normal compile-run cycle?</p>
