Hey Guilers! On behalf of the Spritely Institute, I'm happy to announce that Goblins 0.13.0 has been released! Goblins is a distributed object programming environment that provides an intuitive security model, automatic local transactions for locally synchronous operations, and an easy to use and efficient asynchronous programming interface for encapsulated objects which can live anywhere on the network. Our goal is to make secure, distributed programming easy!
This release has two major new features: 1) A powerful new object persistence mechanism to save your running programs to disk and wake them up later 2) A new abstraction which makes writing IO code much easier For all the exciting details, check out our blog post! https://spritely.institute/news/spritely-goblins-v0130-object-persistence-and-easier-io.html Inside you'll find a fun video demonstrating persistence using a space shooter game, some code examples, and two pieces of wonderful artwork! I'd also like to highlight the recent announcement that NLnet has funded a project to incorporate Goblins into GNU Shepherd, the init system used by Guix: https://nlnet.nl/project/DistributedShepherd/ That's all for now. If you build anything with Goblins, we'd love to hear about it! - Dave
