sway VS Nomad

Fuel Labs | Junior and Senior Software Engineers | Full Time | REMOTE only

Fuel Labs is the blockchain industry leader in scaling R&D and is building Fuel, the fastest execution layer for the modular blockchain stack. We're developing blockchain scaling and smart contract development tools. This includes a new blockchain-optimized high-performance virtual machine (the FuelVM) and a new Rust-based DSL (Sway) for developing safer and more efficient smart contracts.

FuelVM specifications: https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuel-specs

Sway: https://github.com/FuelLabs/sway

If you're interested in working with VMs, interpreters, compilers, end-user-facing toolchains, and/or love good error messages from your compiler, look no further.

We're hiring junior and senior software engineers in Rust, TypeScript, and Solidity. No blockchain experience required; complete disdain for blockchains okay.

Sway is a language developed for the Fuel blockchain. doc: The Sway Programming Language.

Smart contracts, mostly. Rust is used for both compilers and as base for DSLs. For instance Ink is a language built on top of Rust with proc macros, and Sway is a language for smart contracts with a compiler written in Rust.

I don't have any further insight, but looking at <https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/forks?include=active&page...> coughed up https://github.com/atlassian/nomad/branches although confusingly it says "updated last week" but browsing any one of the branches seems to be stupid old so I got nothing

Finding conceptual forks, e.g. $(git push --mirror ...) would be trickier but I bet sourcegraph could do it

Ultimately, the question boils down to: what risk are you driving down: hitching your wagon to a dead stack, not getting security updates, not getting PRs merged, $other?

In previous post, we discussed creating a basic Nomad cluster in the Vultr cloud. Here, we will use the cluster created to deploy a load-balanced sample web app using the service discovery capability of Nomad and its native integration with the Traefik load balancer. The source code is available here for the reference.

Nomad is really awesome!

I only heard of this today, but it looks really interesting. It seems to finally get Kubernetes a bit closer to something like https://www.nomadproject.io/ in terms of complexity to install and operate.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of container orchestration and management, two prominent players have emerged: Kubernetes and HashiCorp's Nomad. While Kubernetes has gained widespread adoption and popularity, Nomad provides a compelling alternative that stands out for its simplicity and efficiency. In this blog post, we'll explore the advantages of using Nomad over Kubernetes and why it might be the right choice for certain use cases.

I can't discern how many are just those "dependabot" bumps but the 1400 forks show some are active https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/forks?include=active&page... including CircleCI who I would think have a stake in a libre Nomad https://github.com/circleci/nomad/tree/circleci/release-1.5....

Now maybe their goals don't align with the community, and/or they don't want to be in the maintainer business for such a project, but better than nothing

Could this be a solution? nomad

It worth noting that Nomad UI(a official web admin panel) has log tailing utility built-in so maybe partial work has already been done. The developers may have other concerns.

The related issue is https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10220

While I do understand the reasoning in their FAQ on the subject (https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq). I however failed to noticed those intentions in their license text (https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/commit/b3e30b1dfa185d9437...).

Specifically the part in FAQ which says "internal production use is fine", but then license says that "non-production use only" and then "You may make production use of the Licensed Work, provided such use does not include offering the Licensed Work to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis which is competitive with HashiCorp's products.".

IANAL, but even to me this statement is full loopholes. WHO do we consider 3rd party? WHAT do we consider "hosted or embedded basis"? WHEN do we consider it "competitive with Hashicorps products"?
