About Argus
Argus was developed in the early 1980s at MIT to address challenges in building reliable distributed systems. It extended the CLU programming language with features like atomic transactions and mechanisms for handling concurrency and failures, aiming to simplify the development of robust distributed applications.
Argus's strengths included robust support for distributed computing, atomic transactions, and fault tolerance. Its weaknesses were complexity and limited adoption. Competitors included languages like Erlang, which also focused on distributed systems but offered simpler syntax and broader industry acceptance.
