I’m really pleased to announce the first public release of Synit. From the site:

Synit is an experiment in applying pervasive reactivity and object capabilities to the System Layer of an operating system for personal computers, including laptops, desktops, and mobile phones. Its architecture follows the principles of the Syndicated Actor Model.

Synit is the foundation of the squeak-on-a-cellphone system-layer experiment I’ve been working on for the past year or so.

To go along with the software, there’s a draft manual, including

• an essay giving a good overview of the Syndicated Actor Model;

• a Syndicated Actor Model glossary;

• a quick description of the architecture of the system;

• the protocol specification that I just announced;

• and more.

Come hang out on IRC! Or, just email me directly.
