DC++ (Distributed C++)

Distributed C++ (DC++) is a language for writing parallel applications on loosely coupled distributed systems in C++. Its key idea is to extend the C++ classes into 3 categories: gateway classes which act as communication and synchronization entry points between abstract processors, classes whose instances may be passed by value between abstract processors via gateways, and vanilla C++ classes. DC++ code is compiled to C++ code with calls to the DC++ runtime system.
