About Orca

Orca was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s to address the need for efficient parallel and distributed computing. It was designed to simplify the development of applications that required concurrent execution across multiple processors or networked systems.

Orca's strengths included its ability to simplify parallel and distributed computing and its functional programming paradigm, which facilitated clear and concise code. Its weaknesses involved limited adoption and support compared to more mainstream languages. Competitors included MPI (Message Passing Interface), PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine), and other parallel computing frameworks like OpenMP.
