Lunatic Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Spinkube: Running WASM in Kubernetes

  This reminds me of Lunatic [1], an Erlang-inspired runtime for WebAssembly. Unfortunately it seems like development stalled some months ago. [1] https://lunatic.solutions/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Flawless – Durable execution engine for Rust

  Very cool, and the approach demonstrated might be of interest to a similar problem we have in Ambient (our WASM game runtime that has competing processes that may need to retry interactions.) That being said - what’s the relation to Lunatic [0]? Are you still working on Lunatic? Is this a side project? Or is it something completely separate?

• Async Rust Is A Bad Language

  Curious too. I follow Lunatic [0] as a candidate for future use, and also wasmCloud [1]. [0] https://lunatic.solutions/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Elixir and Rust is a good mix

  There's a couple of Rust libs and frameworks inspired on Erlang in 'best of both worlds' attempts, such as https://lunatic.solutions I found others like Lunatic before, but cannot remember right now. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Anything close beam/otp for other languages?

  There is a really good initiative called Lunatic : https://lunatic.solutions/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Keyword Generics Progress Report: February 2023 | Inside Rust Blog

  I think it's fairer to say the language got so much more powerful that there wasn't any point making actors a language feature when they can be built from existing orthogonal language features. You're probably looking for actix (not actix-web, just actix). There's also Lunatic built in Rust but supporting any actors compiled to WebAssembly. Source: about 1 year ago

• When Rust Hurts

  New to Rust, but found this project via Elixir forum that looks intriguing: https://lunatic.solutions. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Virding's First Rule of Programming (2008)

  I don't have empirical evidence (nor experience) to hand, but I doubt there's any shortage of individual systems that do some sort of parallel/concurrent work faster than Erlang systems, built on lower-level concurrency primitives offered on the JVM, in golang, Rust etc. More narrowly though, there is a candidate for a means of building systems from higher level, BEAM-like primitives with potential for greater... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• There’s a cunning workaround for this challenge; rather than compiling JS to Wasm, you can instead compile a JavaScript engine to WebAssembly then use that to execute your code.

  There are other interesting applications too, like Lunatic, which replicates the BEAM VM experience but with any language that compiles to wasm and can have language bindings written for it. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Redesign Screeps in Rust

  If I were to do a programming RTS like Screeps, I might start with Lunatic where every player has their own thread with hard limits on memory and CPU. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Creator of SerenityOS announces new Jakt programming language effort

  If it's the actors you're interested in, check out Lunatic. If it's the type system... Probably not in Rust, but you may be interested in Koka. Source: almost 2 years ago

• A mini-Erlang/Elixir -- tell me if/why my idea sucks

  Two years ago I started working on an Erlang inspired language, that evolved into lunatic. Lunatic nowadays allows you to take "any" language compiled to WebAssembly and expose mechanisms of lightweight processes to it. Originally it started as a lua variant (that's where the name comes from), but today we have the best support for rust. Source: over 2 years ago
