This post is a part of my [blog paleontology series](https://blog.matthewbrunelle.com/tag/paleontology/). I dug up and restored this post on 2025-08-11\. I've updated some links to the wayback machine when needed.

I used to be a huge language design nerd and was very excited by the design of Parasail. When I went to restore this post I full expected the blog post to be dead. Turns out, not only is the blog alive, but also the [project](http://parasail-programming-language.blogspot.com/2011/10/alpha-release-02-of-parasail-compiler.html?ref=blog.matthewbrunelle.com) is still active!

Alpha 0.2 of Parasail has been [released](http://parasail-programming-language.blogspot.com/2011/10/alpha-release-02-of-parasail-compiler.html?ref=blog.matthewbrunelle.com). I'm pretty excited about trying this language out. Parasail is a "a new programming language designed to allow productive development of parallel, high-integrity (safety-critical, high-security) software systems. the language is tentatively named "parasail" for parallel, specification and implementation language." I love looking at all the different approaches to parallelism, so this is definitely going to be fun to play with.
