Launch HN: Lunatic (YC W21) – An Erlang Inspired WebAssembly Platform
I 100% agree with some of the trends you mentioned<p>1) lightweight isolated computation - VMs, containers and the lot.<p>2) asynchronous io - user space green threads, epoll, event loops and the likes to have single OS process handle 1000s of connections<p>3) distributed - scale up compute + have it run close to user. Cloudflare workers, edge@lambda, fly.io.  They’re all moving to this direction.<p>4) polyglot micro services - rather than one big thing written in a single language, many small things that talk to each other via HTTP & grpc. They can be independently changed and scaled up without having to restart the whole system.<p>Erlang + webassembly are a great fit for this paradigm.<p>Seeing the success of fly.io, Cloudflare workers and other cloud providers, this definitely has legs and I would love to try it out.
