Limbo is a programming language for writing distributed systems and is the language used to write applications for the Inferno operating system. Limbo supports modular programming, concurrent programming, strong type checking at compile- and run-time, interprocess communication over typed channels, automatic garbage collection, and simple abstract data types.
The Limbo compiler generates architecture independent object code which is then interpreted by the Dis virtual machine or compiled just before runtime to improve performance. Therefore all Limbo applications are completely portable across all Inferno platforms.
