  Unfortunately, it has been discontinued long ago almost immediately after being introduced. And for the .Net ecosystem this means it can hardly be used nowadays as it is probably incompatible with modern libraries.

    I used it for my senior project in high school (or the German equivalent of that), to write a lattice gas cellular automaton. One day after deciding on my topic, it was announced by Microsoft that they would discontinue it. Even back then it was very buggy, and in a normal size program, you would certainly run into some bugs. Sadly Microsoft has taken most resources regarding Axum down some while after discontinuing it, so if someone would want to try it out they would run into a lot of dead links. Based on my fading memories (but take this with a grain of salt, since I was much less experienced back then), I would say that Axum and it's actor-focused model provided not enough upsides to warrant it being its own programming languages. I had better experiences using libraries like Akka in JVM languages, or Actix in Rust.
