I really liked Oz, and thought it had a lot of potential. But its documentation was a big adoption barrier (scattered mess plus expensive textbook), and Oz failed to escape being a turn-of-the-century European research and intro-CS language. The intro-CS role perhaps lends plausibility to Verse's "a first language" objective, despite the off-mainstream computation model. Explicit `amb` though.
