wat-js VS conductor

Well Forth is possibly the most minimal VM over a platform, as evidenced by openfirmware.

It does have problems scaling though, in that if you've seen one Forth, you've seen one Forth ie. The variations required to fit a platform make them semi-incompatible.

That's not to say that a more lispy Forth wouldn't be useful though, in that a concatenative syntax allows us to pass custom datastructures around like APL, and CPS (delimited continuations with lexically scoped dynamic binding would come from the lisp side (see https://github.com/manuel/wat-js).

Memory management in Forth can handle multiple memory types eg. https://flashforth.com/ so adding something like ref counting (https://github.com/zigalenarcic/minilisp/blob/main/main.c) to handle the dynamic list side of things might mesh well.

In any case, if you're looking for a self hosting lisp that runs on bare metal, https://github.com/attila-lendvai/maru has been out for a few years.

If you have delimited continuations then you can construct coroutines/threads/await/async, promises etc.

I guess that this might be suitable for many scenarios thanks to nodejs, but the runtimes it relies on are not exactly small.

We celebrated a remarkable milestone in September when the Netflix Conductor GitHub repository reached 10k stars. It was a momentous achievement for our DevRel team. Just a month later, we're thrilled to announce that we've surpassed 12k stars! ⭐🎉

Also, don’t forget to give us a ⭐ on our Netflix Conductor repo.

One of my favorite workflow engines that has a really simple way to do things was not listed here, so I'll call it out - Netflix Conductor (https://github.com/Netflix/conductor).

Its capabilities comes to light when you model really complex workflows and one real value is how its all very visual not just during modeling but when running it. The history remains visible and you can even see how the whole flow evolved.

Yet another significant milestone on our journey: we've proudly reached the 10,000-star mark on our Netflix Conductor GitHub repository! 🌟

Give something like https://github.com/Netflix/conductor a try to solve this -- makes it very easy to do what you are trying to achieve.

Checkout Conductor https://github.com/Netflix/conductor which is far more scalable and easy on the resources with its own Celery like queues. Fully supports writing task workers in python:
