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."

Why is it that Microsoft persist in vomiting up quick/crappy/hacky workarounds rather than solid solutions? and how is it that the people with the biggest blind-spot about technology and how bad Microsoft products are, are always in senior management of tech companies?
