Amiga E combines procedural, object-oriented, and impure functional programming features. The language was influenced by C++, Ada, and Lisp, and is known for fast compilation, inline assembler, an extensive set of integrated functions, and a powerful module system.
Its features include a flexible type system, quoted expressions, immediate and typed lists, parametric and object polymorphism, exception handling, inheritance, data hiding, methods, multiple return values, default arguments, register allocation, fast memory management, unification, Lisp cells, and macro preprocessing. The Amiga E development environment also provides a source-level debugger, GUI toolkit, and library linker.
The format is associated primarily with historical Amiga software and is mainly encountered in legacy Amiga E projects.
An M file is a text source file, so it can be viewed in any text editor. To compile it as Amiga E source, open it in an Amiga E development environment on an Amiga system or a compatible Amiga environment, together with any required modules and libraries.
There is no usual file-format conversion for an Amiga E source module. It should normally be compiled with the Amiga E compiler to produce the corresponding Amiga program or compiled output.
Porting the source to another programming language requires manual rewriting; an automatic converter cannot be assumed.

Limbo is a programming language developed for Inferno, with syntax similar to C and features intended to simplify the development of concurrent, distributed systems. An .m file contains interface declaration data, such as the types, constants and functions exposed by a Limbo module.
The interface declaration is separate from the module's implementation. Limbo source code that implements the module refers to the declarations in the .m file, allowing the compiler to check how the module is used and to keep its public interface distinct from its implementation.
The Limbo compiler produces architecture-independent object code. Inferno can interpret this code in the Inferno Virtual Machine or compile it just before execution to improve performance, helping Limbo applications run across Inferno platforms. Inferno includes support for hosted use on Microsoft Windows.
An .m file is a plain-text source file. Open it with a text editor to read or modify the interface declarations.
For development, use the Limbo compiler and tools included with Inferno on Microsoft Windows. The file is not normally opened as a standalone application; it is used when building the corresponding Limbo module.
There is no useful general-purpose conversion for a Limbo interface declaration file. Its declarations are source code rather than a document or media format.
To use the file in Inferno, keep it as Limbo source and compile the related module with the Limbo toolchain. Compilation produces Inferno object code rather than another equivalent source format.
