Intuitive concurrent programming in any language
Summary
Lingua Franca is a coordination language designed for deterministic concurrency, built-in timing semantics, and easy distribution in time-sensitive, multi-threaded and distributed systems. It emphasizes eliminating race conditions by construction and allows reactive components to be written in the host language of choice, with open-source collaboration across academia and industry. The article presents the language's paradigm, multi-language support, and open-source provenance.
