The goblin and the shepherd
From the article
The great promise of Spritely Goblins is to make networking easier and safer. For the past few years, we've focused on developing a toolkit to facilitate this goal. Today, we're proud to announce an incredibly exciting project that will put this toolkit to the test in the largest real-world deployment of Spritely technology so far: a port of the GNU Shepherd system layer to Guile Goblins — the first step in making Guix the object-capability operating system!
Quote from the article:
This new functionality will be further edified by allowing services to pass service dependencies as capabilities, including capabilities on remote services. Or to put it simply, users will be able to connect multiple distinct machines together at the system layer to act as one machine for some computing tasks. As an example, in combination with Guix's deploy, this work will allow Guix to replace solutions like Kubernetes!
Oh my, that's interesting.
Yup, the possibilities seem wild! I'm wondering how well you could have shepherd running on non-guix system distros.
Edit: apparently that's guix home
