Limbo programs are made up of functions and data objects, grouped into modules. A module is usually split into two parts, the module definition and module implementation. The module definition defines the interface that the module exports to external applications, declaring functions that it provides and data objects such as constants that it makes accessible to other modules. The module implementation contains the implementations of the functions defined in the interface, along with other functions that are private to its implementation. Typically, Limbo interface declarations are placed into files with the suffix ".m" and implementations into files ending in ".b." Linking and loading is performed at run time, and a module must explicitly load any other modules it wishes to access, after including the modules' interface declaration, unloading them as need be to minimize memory usage.

Limbo is strongly typed; programs are checked at compile time, and further when modules are loaded. The Limbo compiler compiles each source file into a machine-independent byte-coded .dis file that can be loaded at run time.

The Limbo compiler generates architecture-independent object code which is then interpreted by the Dis virtual machine or compiled just before runtime to improve performance. Therefore all Limbo applications are completely portable across all Inferno platforms.

Limbo performs automatic garbage collection, so there is no need to free dynamically created objects. Objects are deleted and their resources freed when the last reference to them goes away. In general this release of resources happens immediately (&"instant free&"&"); release of cyclic data structures may be delayed.
