Hey HackerNews Community My laptop is so old that the only game it can run is SFG Soccer But from this machine, I'm building something ambitious: a language-agnostic runtime called OLSRT. The story started when I tried to bring the power of Node.js, Golang, and Erlang (especially WebSocket) into PHP, but I can't, because phpize.bat didn't work on my system, then I tried to compile it with MSVC, but I failed again, because of my system.

This limitation gave me a new idea! A Runtime that wasn't only for PHP, it was for all languages that can talk to C (Programming Language)

And now, I'm here to introduce you to this, you and the powerful runtime called OLSRT!

You can do anything (Actor, Channels, Event Loop & Poller, HTTP, Parallel, Promise & Futures, Streams, Timers, TLS, and especially WebSocket) in all languages!

If you want more about it, see Github: https://github.com/OverLab-Group/OLSRT

The author introduces OLSRT, a language-agnostic runtime environment that allows various programming languages to communicate with each other, born out of frustration with limitations on their old laptop.
