Hey Guilers!
On behalf of the Spritely Institute, I'm happy to announce that
Goblins 0.17.0 has been released! Goblins is a distributed object
programming environment that provides an intuitive security model,
automatic local transactions for locally synchronous operations, and
an easy to use and efficient asynchronous programming interface for
encapsulated objects which can live anywhere on the network. Our goal
is to make secure, distributed programming easy!
The highlights of this release are:
- A new and fast persistence store named "Bloblin"
- Improved performance of the persistence layer generally
- New persistence-store-copy! procedure to convert data between two
stores of any type
- New ^vector and ^ring-buffer actors in the standard actor library

If you use Guix then it's easy to try out Goblins:
guix pull
guix shell guile guile-goblins
That's all for now! If you build anything with Goblins, we'd love to
hear about it here or over on our Discourse forum:
