Getting Started

This chapter introduces Inferno's programming language, Limbo, particularly for those new to Limbo.

This section dissects a simple Limbo program that illustrates the basics of every Limbo program. That is followed by the Language Basics section which delves into the basics of the Limbo language itself. It covers the primary aspects of the language and includes many Limbo program samples.

For a formal Limbo language definition, see Appendix A, The Limbo Language Definition.
