1 definition found From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: GoffinA {definitional constraint language} for {declarative} parallel programming. Goffin systematically integrates {equational constraint}s and functions within a uniform framework of {concurrent} programming. Goffin is an embedding of a functional language kernel ({Haskell}) into a layer of constraint logic, which allows {logical variable}s inside functional expressions. In order to preserve {referential transparency}, functional {reduction} suspends until logical variables become bound. Logical variables are bound by equational constraints, which impose relations over expressions. Hence constraints are the means to structure the concurrent reduction of functional expressions.
