lurk-rs VS cloud-nuke

Lurk Lab @ Protocol Labs | Multiple Positions | REMOTE | Full-time

Lurk Lab is building Lurk (https://github.com/lurk-lang), a Turing-complete programming language for recursive zk-SNARKs. Lurk implements a minimal Lisp whose program executions can be proved in zero-knowledge, yielding succinct proofs that are concretely small and fast to verify. Lurk uses a Rust implementation (https://github.com/lurk-lang/lurk-rs) for expression evaluation, proving, and verification, with Nova (https://github.com/microsoft/Nova/) as its proving backend. Because Lurk is Turing-complete, it can be used to make and prove arbitrary computational claims (within resource limits).

We are looking for strong cryptography engineers, researchers, functional programming language specialists, applications developers, and start-up leaders/web3 entrepreneurs who want to build next-generation SNARK technology.

Ideal candidates will be knowledgeable about the state of the art in zero-knowledge proofs and (if looking for an engineering position) strong in Rust.

We are specifically hiring for:

I recently published a fairly detailed blog post about how to formulate expressive provable programs in Lurk (https://github.com/lurk-lang/lurk-rs). Although this post goes into no details about the underlying proving mechanism, it does build to some pretty powerful ideas. If you haven't thought about the implications of being able to prove correctness of a computation without revealing some or all details of what the computation actually was, you might enjoy it. https://blog.lurk-lang.org/posts/prog-intro/

Nova (for example) doesn't require a trusted setup. The circuit is just a schematic description of the underlying computation. In the case of the Lurk core language, this computation is 'one reduction step of a Lurk evaluation' (https://github.com/lurk-lang/lurk-rs/blob/master/spec/reduct...). Coming up with a 'fixed computation' that yields general computation is part of the design problem for Lurk (or any other Lurk-like language). Even if we did need a per-circuit trusted setup (which we don't), we could perform such a setup for our core circuit and use it to prove arbitrary programs. For example, although we have not actually performed the trusted setup, we do have an example using Groth16 (which does require a trusted setup to be secure) and aggregates the potentially many discrete reduction steps to produce a succinct proof.

After discussing the testing approaches suggested by the two IaC providers Terraform and Pulumi, in the next post we will take a look at the dedicated IaC testing providers takes on this topic. Here we will have a look at Gruntwork and Snyk. So, stay tuned if you are interessted!

Or your working on gruntwork.io company, this is the only the thing that makes ok all what you say here. However I believe they can make better product instead of angry chat on reddit without getting in details.

Like others have said, your infra might itself be the product.

Look at https://gruntwork.io.

They’ve made a lucrative business by selling infra scripts that others can use.

And their subscription model means they keep the scripts up to date.

Have been checking out terragrunt and terratest lately(part of https://gruntwork.io)

Gruntwork | Software Engineers (Principal, Staff) | 100% Remote/US time zones | Full-time | https://gruntwork.io/

We aim to improve humanity's most important invention: Software. Our product enables software teams to launch and maintain production-grade cloud infrastructure in days, not months. We create the building blocks that devs use to make launching in AWS with infrastructure as code 10x better.

We work with AWS, K8s, Terraform, Go, Typescript, and React/Next. We’re a small team (~20 people), but our clients include Toyota, Adobe, TicketMaster, Verizon, and lots of startups.

We are profitable, self-funded (no investors, no debt), pay salaries, equity, and bonuses according to transparent formulas, and are very focused on building a company we're proud of. We are 100% remote, with 2/3 of our team in the USA and 1/3 in Europe. We have company-wide in-person meetups every few months. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

Our measure of a successful Grunt is (1) think like an owner, (2) make impact, (3) communicate effectively, (4) be a good person. If this sounds like you, we're hiring!

Most people hesitate to use cloud hosted offerings for development. First of all, most providers have a generous free tier for devs, which can get you started. Secondly I recommend using tools like cloudnuke to avoid paying for cloud resources you're not using.
