New System-layer Syndicate project

Part of a series: #squeak-phone


I’m proud to announce a new project on using the Syndicated Actor model and dataspaces to implement a system layer.

https://syndicate-lang.org/projects/2021/system-layer/

The project will be investigating the question

Could dataspaces be a suitable system layer foundation, perhaps replacing software like systemd and D-Bus?

Concretely, it will produce a prototype system layer implementation building on my existing “squeak-on-a-cellphone” prototyping work.

I’m very grateful for project sponsorship from the NLnet Foundation, as part of the NGI Zero PET programme.
