Bastion is a highly-available, fault-tolerant runtime system with dynamic dispatch oriented lightweight process model. Features Message-based communication makes this project a lean mesh of actor system. Without web servers, weird shenanigans, forced trait implementations, and static dispatch. Runtime fault-tolerance makes it a good candidate for distributed systems. If you want the smell of Erlang and the powerful aspects of Rust. That’s it! Completely asynchronous runtime with NUMA-aware and cache-affine SMP executor.

I’ve been hearing more about Elixir lately so I thought I’d take it for a spin. “Elixir is a functional, meta-programming aware language built on top of the Erlang VM. It is a dynamic language that focuses on tooling to leverage Erlang’s abilities to build concurrent, distributed and fault-tolerant applications with hot code upgrades.” I’ve never really spent any time with Erlang but always been curious about it and the fact that it’s one of the best kept ‘secrets’ in many startups these days.
