Hibana is a Rust runtime that enforces finite multiparty protocols by projecting a global choreography into compact programs for each role, ensuring all communication steps match the protocol before committing. It operates without allocation, supports up to 256 roles, and provides transport-neutral integration with the same API across hosted and embedded targets.
Ario is a bounded agent runtime project designed to prevent local consensus from becoming global truth, published in October 2026 as version 5. The project is available on GitHub under the Mrxxir organization.
Cloudflare acquired Deno, the programming runtime startup co-founded by Ryan Dahl and Bert Belder, to enhance its Workers platform for building and running software on Cloudflare's network. Deno's recent open-source celld implementation impressed Cloudflare, which aims to make the Workers model a mainstream server-building approach while maintaining openness to avoid vendor lock-in.
Apache Karaf is an open-source modulith runtime for enterprises that supports various frameworks and technologies, offering features like shell console, hot deployment, dynamic configuration, and clustering. It runs on-premises or in cloud environments and includes additional tools like Karaf Cellar for clustering and Karaf Decanter for monitoring and alerting.
The BEAM Book, Second Edition is a technical reference to the Erlang Runtime System updated for Erlang/OTP 29, covering the BEAM virtual machine's architecture including the BeamAsm JIT compiler, scheduling, memory management, and operations. Written by Erik Stenman, it expands on the first edition with new material on compiler internals, BEAM instructions, and practical operational guidance. Available in PDF and EPUB formats for €10 from Happi Hacking, with physical signed copies available at events.
An article exploring runtime intelligence in software, demonstrating how traditional pattern-matching fails to detect personal information like names and addresses, and introducing a semantic decision system (Sage) that can intelligently classify whether documents contain sensitive data during execution.
The Deno team is joining Cloudflare to advance server-side JavaScript development. The team will discontinue separate Deno runtime and Deploy service development, instead focusing on integrating Deno's innovations into Cloudflare's Workers and Durable Objects platform through a new programming model called celld.
