We're very excited to put out this blogpost about OCapN, the underlying network protocol which powers Spritely Goblins' mind-blowing distributed object programming tech! spritely.institute/news/introd

But OCapN isn't just for Spritely Goblins: thanks to a generous grant from @NGIZero, Spritely engineer (and fellow co-author/co-editor of ActivityPub!) @tsyesika has documented how it all works!

OCapN is in the pre-standards phase but thanks to this work already includes not only the core specifications, but also a test suite and an implementation guide!

We've already seen a Haskell implementation which passes the test suite for the parts it implements... we're excited to see more!

@cwebber Solid test suites are *better* than gratuitous documentation.

You guys rule!

@cwebber this is amazing!!! I have a pet project of a network of “virtual tamagotchi”s that run on raspberry pi’s, communicating over MQTT. I’ve always wanted it to have meshing capabilities, this would be perfect.

@cwebber has anyone mad a joke about OCapN, MyCapN yet?
