Similarly, in the Rust ecosystem, frameworks like Actix and Ractor emerge, leveraging Rust’s safety guarantees while aiming to mimic BEAM’s ability to manage failures with supervision hierarchies. I don’t think Actix allows easy communication across nodes, but Ractor is actively working to get a production-ready cluster module.

zenoh
zenoh unifies data in motion, data in-use, data at rest and computations. It carefully blends traditional pub/sub with geo-distributed storages, queries and computations, while retaining a level of time and space efficiency that is well beyond any of the mainstream stacks.
Project mention: Show HN: Decentralized robots (and things) orchestration system | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-18Looks very interesting!
How does this compare with Zenoh [1]?
Also, I'm curious why you all included "OS" in the name? Almost every introduction to ROS/ROS2 has to explain that it isn't actually an operating system, and it seems like hyveOS is headed for the same misunderstanding.
