About Limbo
Limbo was created in the mid-1990s by researchers at Bell Labs as part of the Inferno operating system project. It was developed to address the need for a language that could efficiently support concurrent programming and secure, distributed computing.
Strengths of Limbo included strong typing, efficient concurrency support, and built-in garbage collection. Weaknesses involved limited adoption and a smaller community compared to other languages. Competitors included Java, C++, and Erlang, which offered similar features for networked and distributed systems.
