- Obliq is a lexically-scoped untyped interpreted language that supports distributed
object-oriented computation.
-
- An Obliq computation may involve multiple
threads of control within an address space, multiple address spaces on
a machine, heterogeneous machines over a local network, and multiple
networks over the Internet.
-
- Obliq objects have state and are local to a site. Obliq computations can roam over the network, while maintaining network connections.

- Obliq is freely available by ftp (read the Modula-3 license). The distribution directories for Obliq, Netobjd (needed when using Obliq with network objects), and Modula-3 can be found here:
Modula-3 . In order to build Obliq you need to download and build the whole Modula-3 distribution. However, some try-out, stand-alone, Obliq binaries are available: Binaries .
