Microsoft Releases New Concurrent Programming Language

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday May 11, 2009 @04:22AM from the secret-agent-man dept.

zokier writes "Microsoft has released a new programming language called Axum, previously known as Maestro and based on the actor model. It's meant to ease development of concurrent applications and thus making better use of multi-core processors. Axum does not have capabilities to define classes, but as it runs on the .NET platform, Axum can use classes made with C#. Microsoft has not committed to shipping Axum since it is still in an incubation phase of development so feedback from developers is certainly welcome."

I don't know about "devlopers", but real developers use whatever OS they need to get the job done.
