I wasn't involved, but I remember considerable interest in Strand from parallel programming people in the lab about the time it appeared. I don't think that lasted long, but unfortunately I don't remember why it failed (if I knew then).

SISAL was probably a better bet as a dataflow-ish language, but I don't remember anyone else looking at it, despite Manchester being "just" down the road.
