It's not often these days that a project pops up where I start thinking about re-imagining our whole build/deployment strategy around it. This project easily hits that high watermark. I'm already thinking about how we re-architect a few existing projects around it to reap the benefits. Very excited to do some new projects with this as well and get to understand it in more detail. Many thanks!

PHP support would be beyond amazing, what would be required (top-level) to get that working/usable?

I think this is awesome too, but I’m at a loss to describe where I could replace already built services. Can you share some perspective on specific things that you see this can do that is amazing?

My industry routinely has to have electrician install additional controllers (basically just a Linux industrial computer) on customer sites because the ones already there won’t support our software. With this, I could imagine just shipping a binary on a flash drive that the customer can run on whatever they have on site. There is nothing stopping that other than it’s too hard to build our software for hundreds of hardware and OS combinations. With this you probably only need to build a handful of artifacts. It would save thousands per install.

If there were a plug-in system to be able to run different languages than Lua, that would be cool too, but maybe I’ll have to learn Lua.
