<p><b>Axum</b> (previously codenamed <b>Maestro</b>) is a <a href="Domain-specific_language" title="Domain-specific language">domain-specific</a> <a href="Concurrent_programming" class="mw-redirect" title="Concurrent programming">concurrent</a> <a href="Programming_language" title="Programming language">programming language</a>, based on the <a href="Actor_model" title="Actor model">Actor model</a>, that was under active development by <a href="Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a><sup id="cite_ref-c9_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-c9-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> between 2009 and 2011.<sup id="cite_ref-shutdown_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-shutdown-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is an <a href="Object-oriented_programming" title="Object-oriented programming">object-oriented language</a> based on the <a href=".NET_Framework" title=".NET Framework">.NET</a> <a href="Common_Language_Runtime" title="Common Language Runtime">Common Language Runtime</a> using a <a href="C_(programming_language)" title="C (programming language)">C</a>-like syntax which, being a domain-specific language, is intended for development of portions of a software application that is well-suited to concurrency. But it contains enough general-purpose constructs that one need not switch to a general-purpose programming language (like <a href="C_Sharp_(programming_language)" title="C Sharp (programming language)">C#</a>) for the sequential parts of the concurrent components.<sup id="cite_ref-c9_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-c9-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The main idiom of programming in Axum is an <i>Agent</i> (or an <i>Actor</i>), which is an isolated entity that executes in parallel with other Agents.<sup id="cite_ref-isolation_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-isolation-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In Axum parlance, this is referred to as the agents executing in separate <i>isolation domains</i>;<sup id="cite_ref-isolation_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-isolation-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> objects instantiated within a domain cannot be directly accessed from another.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Agents are loosely coupled (i.e., the number of dependencies between agents is minimal) and do not share resources like memory (unlike the <a href="Shared_memory_(interprocess_communication)" class="mw-redirect" title="Shared memory (interprocess communication)">shared memory</a> model of <a href="C_Sharp_(programming_language)" title="C Sharp (programming language)">C#</a> and similar languages); instead a <a href="Message_passing" title="Message passing">message passing</a> model is used.<sup id="cite_ref-isolation_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-isolation-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> To co-ordinate agents or having an agent request the resources of another, an explicit message must be sent to the agent. Axum provides <i>Channels</i> to facilitate this.
</p><p><i>Channels</i> can be regarded as a directional pathway to communicate between agent instances. The member functions of a <i>Channel</i> object, after it has been bound to an agent instance, can be used to communicate with it. A <i>Channel</i> contains input and output <i>ports</i>, which are <a href="Queue_(data_structure)" class="mw-redirect" title="Queue (data structure)">queues</a> which are used to send data to an agent or receive data from one. To co-ordinate the communication between agents, Axum allows each channel to have a user-defined <i>protocol</i> for communication. The protocol is defined as a <a href="State_machine" class="mw-redirect" title="State machine">state machine</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The data sent over a channel can be optionally restricted to conform to a certain pre-defined <i>schema</i>. The compiler and runtime will enforce the conformance with the schema.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Under the hood, a <i>schema</i> is translated into a <a href="Serialization" title="Serialization">serializable</a> .NET <a href="Class_(computing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Class (computing)">class</a> that contains only properties and side effect-free methods.<sup id="cite_ref-objects_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-objects-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The Axum project reached the state of a prototype with working <a href="Microsoft_Visual_Studio" class="mw-redirect" title="Microsoft Visual Studio">Microsoft Visual Studio</a> integration.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Microsoft had made a <a href="Community_Technology_Preview" class="mw-redirect" title="Community Technology Preview">CTP</a> of Axum available to the public,<sup id="cite_ref-dnld_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dnld-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but this has since been removed.
Although Microsoft decided not to turn Axum into a project,<sup id="cite_ref-shutdown_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-shutdown-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> some of the ideas behind Axum are used in TPL Dataflow in .Net 4.5.
