That's exactly what || (concurrent statements) and ; (sequential statements) do in Esterel.

Thanks, was totally unaware of that. For the lazy and ignorant like me:

No need :) But I'll happily add this one, which is a nice short intro if you know nothing about it: http://www.embedded.com/design/prototyping-and-development/4...

I came in contact with the language during my studies (one of my profs worked on it), found it interesting, but haven't really had a chance to apply it to anything I've done professionally since. It's a very neat language though, and if I got to do anything in the embedded field.

I notice that there is now an open source compiler, which is great. The only implementation I was aware of so far was closed source.
