[7] : The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)
clean
     
         a lazy higher-order purely functional
        language from the university of nijmegen.  clean was
        originally a subset of lean, designed to be an experimental
        intermediate language and used to study the graph
        rewriting model.  to help focus on the essential
        implementation issues it deliberately lacked all syntactic
        sugar, even infix expressions or complex lists,
     
        as it was used more and more to construct all kinds of
        applications it was eventually turned into a general purpose
        functional programming language, first released in may 1995.
        the new language is strongly typed milner/mycroft type
        system, provides modules and functional i/o including a
        wimp interface, and supports parallel processing and
        distributed processing on loosely coupled parallel
        architectures.  parallel execution was originally based on the
        pabc abstract machine.
     
        it is one of the fastest implementations of functional
        languages available, partly aided by programmer annotations
        to influence evaluation order.
     
        although the two variants of clean are rather different, the
        name clean can be used to denote either of them.  to
        distinguish, the old version can be referred to as clean 0.8,
        and the new as clean 1.0 or concurrent clean.
     
        the current release of clean 1.0 includes a compiler,
        producing code for the abc abstract machine, a code
        generator, compiling the abc code into either object-code
        or assembly language depending on the platform, i/o
        libraries, a development environment not all platforms,
        and documentation.  it is supported or will soon be
        supported under mac os, linux, os/2, windows 95,
        sunos, and solaris.

[9] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
clean
   the various forms of uncleanness according to the mosaic law are
   enumerated in lev. 11-15; num. 19. the division of animals into
   clean and unclean was probably founded on the practice of
   sacrifice. it existed before the flood gen. 7:2. the
   regulations regarding such animals are recorded in lev. 11 and
   deut. 14:1-21.
   
     the hebrews were prohibited from using as food certain animal
   substances, such as 1 blood; 2 the fat covering the
   intestines, termed the caul; 3 the fat on the intestines,
   called the mesentery; 4 the fat of the kidneys; and 5 the
   fat tail of certain sheep ex. 29:13, 22; lev. 3:4-9; 9:19;
   17:10; 19:26.
   
     the chief design of these regulations seems to have been to
   establish a system of regimen which would distinguish the jews
   from all other nations. regarding the design and the abolition
   of these regulations the reader will find all the details in
   lev. 20:24-26; acts 10:9-16; 11:1-10; heb. 9:9-14.
