Orca

Here’s a short post for a big annoucement: we’re opening the Orca codebase! I want to extend a big thank you to the team of early contributors who made it possible: Ben Visness, Ilia Demianenko, and Reuben Dunnington.

We’re working hard on the Orca runtime, and while this is keeping us busy with code, I figured it shouldn’t make us silent either! So here’s a small update followed by a not so small overview of the runtime’s architecture.

We’re booting up the Orca initiative, which aims to produce a unified platform and set of APIs to develop, distribute and run sandboxed graphical applications on a variety of operating systems.
