From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  Euclid
       
           (Named after the Greek geometer, fl ca 300 BC.) A
          {Pascal} descendant for development of verifiable system
          software.  No {goto}, no {side effects}, no global
          assignments, no functional arguments, no nested procedures, no
          floats, no {enumeration types}.  Pointers are treated as
          indices of special arrays called collections.  To prevent
          {aliasing}, Euclid forbids any overlap in the list of actual
          parameters of a procedure.  Each procedure gives an imports
          list, and the compiler determines the identifiers that are
          implicitly imported.  Iterators.
       
          Ottawa Euclid is a variant.
