Obliq computations can roam over the network, while maintaining network connections. Distributed lexical scoping is the key mechanism for managing distributed computations.

They are particularly popular for connecting system services (programmed in "real languages") to human interfaces (non-programmable).

Recently, scripting languages have emerged for coordinating activities in distributed environments: for telecollaboration, telemarketing, navigation, etc. . Scripting languages are often used to coordinate applications that are written in normal languages. However, there are situations in which a script...
