mastodon 4.5.18We're building the next generation of decentralized network tech!
We're working hard to make it easier to hack on Spritely tech *without* needing to install anything special... just an ordinary browser! Check out this screenshot of the work-in-progress Hoot IDE, featuring some hacking using Ricardo Wurmus' picture language for Guile! All running in the browser, using Spritely's Hoot Scheme -> WASM compiler!
We’re excited to announce the release of Spritely Goblins 0.18.0! This release features a new caching layer called “sleepy actors”, OCapN protocol updates, and numerous bug fixes. So get cozy by the fire, pull out a steaming cup of tea, and let’s have a nice relaxing read about this exciting new Goblins release! https://spritely.institute/news/spritely-goblins-v0-18-0-sleepy-actors.html
Spritely Hoot, our Scheme->WASM compiler (and all-around WASM toolkit) hits 0.8.0, and this one is a BIG release! https://spritely.institute/news/hoot-0-8-0-released.html
For the first time you can LIVE develop web applications using Hoot, from the comfort of your own editor! See the video at the top!
Plus lots of other bugfixes and goodies!
