Hi,

I've been working on Agentic Data Enclave, a way to make agentic data sharing safe for regulated enterprises. That led to WunderOS, an autonomic operating system for agents, based on deterministic-replay, very low latencies, strict isolation, etc. A Gleam/OTP control plane and Zig data plane; Elixir-Phoenix for the UX. It's about 450Kloc so far.

What fell out of that was my second database (Stardog.com enterprise knowledge graph was the first), i.e., PlatypusDB, which is nothing more or less than what WunderOS needs in a database. Good times!

If you're interested in many of the gory details, see PLRN 020, the PlatypusDB research note.

I took a bit of heat from a friend who was a very early seller at Databricks, who I respect very much, for my implementation choices, i.e., Gleam/OTP and Zig. I should have used Python and Rust, he said.

I mean, he's not wrong, but neither am I. The benefits of OTP, Gleam's type system, and Zig's minimalist purity are quite potent. I was initially worried about NIF and stability but early on I implemented a "NIF meta-compiler", with some inspo from rustler, and that part of the system has been fine.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for all the hard work to make these language systems fun and productive to use, and for making nice, supportive communities to work in.
