Inko

Inko is a statically-typed, safe, object-oriented programming languages for writing concurrent programs. By using lightweight isolated processes, data race conditions can't occur. The syntax is easy to learn and remember, and thanks to its error handling model you will never have to worry about unexpected runtime errors.

For more information, see the Inko website. If you'd like to follow this project but don't have a GitLab account, please consider starring our GitHub mirror.
