Microsoft Releases New Concurrent Programming Language

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."

Re:WTF is a "Concurrent Programming Language"?

Visual BASIC is so unlike the BASICs I learned in the 80s on the Commodore, Apple, and other small computers that it might as well be a different language.

It's true. Those old languages existed in a tiny ROM, a plug in cartridge, or cassette - and they were crap.

Visual basic is different - it's stored on your hard disk.
