Deterministic Concurrency
Lingua Franca offers a straightforward way to write deterministic multi-threaded and distributed applications, eliminating concerns about thread management, synchronization, and race conditions.
Built-in Timing Semantics
Timing is embedded within Lingua Franca's core, empowering developers to handle time-sensitive tasks with precision and without the complex timing logic typically required in concurrent programming.
Simplified Distribution
Lingua Franca enables seamless transition from single to distributed system architectures with minimal modifications, abstracting away the complexities of distributed systems programming.
A New Programming Paradigm
Lingua Franca is the first reactor-oriented coordination language. It allows you to specify reactive components and compose them. Lingua Franca eliminates race conditions by construction, makes it easy to specify timed behavior, and removes the need to perform manual synchronization.
Open-source and Supported by Research
Lingua Franca was first developed at UC Berkeley where it was influenced by decades worth of research in models of computation.
