  ALLOY
       
           A language by Thanasis Mitsolides
           which combines functional programming,
          object-oriented programming and logic programming ideas,
          and is suitable for massively parallel systems.
       
          Evaluating modes support serial or parallel execution, eager
          evaluation or lazy evaluation, nondeterminism or multiple
          solutions etc.  ALLOY is simple as it only requires 29
          primitives in all (half of which are for object oriented
          programming support).
       
          It runs on SPARC.

     1. To reduce the purity of by mixing with a less valuable
        substance; as, to alloy gold with silver or copper, or
        silver with copper.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. To mix, as metals, so as to form a compound.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. To abate, impair, or debase by mixture; to allay; as, to
        alloy pleasure with misfortunes.
        [1913 Webster]

     To form a metallic compound.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           Gold and iron alloy with ease.           --Ure.
     [1913 Webster]

  Alloy \Al*loy"\, n. [OE. alai, OF. alei, F. aloyer, to alloy,
     alier to ally. See Alloy, v. t.]
     1. Any combination or compound of metals fused together; a
        mixture of metals; for example, brass, which is an alloy
        of copper and zinc. But when mercury is one of the metals,
        the compound is called an amalgam.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. The quality, or comparative purity, of gold or silver;
        fineness.
        [1913 Webster]

        [1913 Webster]
  
              Fine silver is silver without the mixture of any
              baser metal. Alloy is baser metal mixed with it.
                                                    --Locke.

  ALLOY, or ALLAY. An inferior metal, used with gold. and silver in making
  coin or public money. Originally, it was one of the allowances known by the
  name of remedy for errors, in the weight and purity of coins. The practice
  of making such allowances continued in all European mints after the reasons,
  upon which they were originally founded, had, in a great measure, ceased. In
  the imperfection of the art of coining, the mixture of the metals used, and
  the striking of the coins, could not be effected with, perfect accuracy.
  There would be some variety in the mixture of metals made at different
  times, although intended to be in the same proportions, and in different
  pieces of coin, although struck by the same process and from the same die.
  But the art of coining metals has now so nearly attained perfection, that
  such allowances have become, if not altogether, in a great measure at least,
  unnecessary. The laws of the United States make no allowance for
  deficiencies of weight. See Report of the Secretary of State of the United
  States, to the Senate of the U. S., Feb. 22, 1821, pp. 63, 64.
       2. The act of Congress of 2d of April, 1792, sect. 12, directs that the
  standard for all gold coins of the United States, shall be eleven parts fine
  to one part of alloy; and sect. 13, that the standard for all silver coins
  of the United States, shall be one thousand four hundred and eighty-five
  parts fine, to one hundred and seventy-nine parts alloy. 1 Story's L. U. S.
  20. By the act of Congress, 18th Feb. 1831, Sec. 8, it is provided, that the
  standard for both gold and silver coin of the United States, shall be such,
  that of one thousand parts by weight, nine hundred shall be of pure metal,
  and one hundred of alloy;  and the alloy of the silver coins shall be of
  copper, and the alloy of gold coins shall be of copper and silver, provided,
  that the silver do not exceed one-half of the whole alloy. See also, Smith's
  Wealth of Nations, vol. i., pp. 49, 50.
