Goblins (Distributed Object Programming)
From goblins.info:
Goblins is a distributed object programming environment featuring:
• Quasi-functional object system: objects are procedures that
"become" new versions when handling invocations
• Fully distributed, networked, secure p2p communication via
OCapN (Object Capability Network) and CapTP
• Transactional updates: changes happen within transactions;
unhandled exceptions cause rollback
• Time travel: snapshot old revisions and interact with them
• Asynchronous programming with sophisticated promise chaining
Vat Model
(peer (vat (actormap {refr: object-behavior})))
• Peers: CapTP endpoints on network (OS processes)
• Vats: Communicating event loops
• Actormaps: Transactional heaps
• References → Object Behavior mappings
Key Operators
($ obj method args...) ; Synchronous (near objects only)
(<- obj method args...) ; Asynchronous (near or far)
Guile Hoot (Scheme → WebAssembly)
From hoot.info:
Guile Hoot compiles Scheme to WebAssembly, enabling:
• Run Scheme in browsers and Wasm runtimes
• Full Scheme semantics (tail calls, continuations)
• Integration with JavaScript
• Standalone Wasm modules
Gay.jl Integration
Each tool receives deterministic colors based on seed and index:
using Gay
# Color the effective-topos packages
packages = [
# Trit 0: Lisp/Scheme
"guile", "racket-minimal", "emacs-nox", "guile-goblins", "guile-hoot",
# Trit 1: ML/Functional
"ghc", "cabal-install", "ocaml", "opam", "agda",
# Trit 2: Systems/DevOps
"cargo", "gh", "tmux", "radare2", "just", "go"
]
for (i, pkg) in enumerate(packages)
trit = (i - 1) % 3 # GF(3) assignment
color = Gay.color_at(i, seed=69)
println("[$trit] $pkg: $(color.hex)")
end
Triad Interleaving Pattern
# Interleave Lisp, ML, Systems tools
schedule = Gay.interleave(
[:guile, :racket, :emacs], # Trit 0
[:ghc, :ocaml, :agda], # Trit 1
[:cargo, :gh, :tmux], # Trit 2
seed=69
)
# => [:guile, :ghc, :cargo, :racket, :ocaml, :gh, :emacs, :agda, :tmux]
