[$] A Spritely distributed-computing library

Post Syndicated from daroc original https://lwn.net/Articles/960912/

Spritely is a project seeking to
build a platform for sovereign distributed applications — applications where
users run their own nodes in order to control their own data — as the basis of a
new social internet.
While there are many such existing
projects, Spritely takes an unusual approach based on a new
interoperable protocol for
efficient, secure remote procedure calls (RPC). The project is in its early stages,
with many additional features planned, but it is already possible to play around
with Goblins, the distributed
actor library that Spritely intends to build on.
