"An object is really a function that has no name and that gets its argument a message and then look at that message and decide what to do next." — Richard P. Gabriel

This guide is product of the efforts of many people too numerous to list here and the unique environment of our open-source community.

The document confines itself primarily to the stabler parts of the system, and does not address the window system, user interface or application programming interfaces at all.

Spacebeam offers Luna a custom Debian (x86_64) distribution that enables easily build Linux clusters, grid endpoints and visualization on tiled-displays; installation, consulting and support is also available.

We are a multidisciplinary open-source research & development community that conducts work on distributed systems, artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.

Our Mission: provide tools inside a simple workspace for play, work and science!

Our Goal: a distributed workspace environment for machines of all ages.

Core ideas

• Functions are a form of objects.
• Message passing and function calling are analogous.
• Asynchronous message passing is necessary for non-blocking systems.
• Selective receive allow to ignore messages uninteresting now.

Getting started

Your system need the latest release of Erlang, LuaJIT (with luarocks) and Singularity installed.

Installation

Then run this command:

TBD

For help, including a list of commands, run:
