Flow Java
Flow Java is a conservative extension to the Java (programming language). It integrates single assignment variables, logic variables, to Java. Its development was influenced by Mozart/Oz. Conceptually, the extension is similar to adding immutable futures but goes beyond that by incorporating equivalence groups.
single
Syntactically, the extension adds few new tokens [1] [2]...
single Object s;
...which introduces a single assignment variable, and...
s @= new Object();
...which binds s to a new object. Or...
Object o = new Object; s @= o;
...which binds s to o. This makes s equivalent to o.
