It allows you to safely + run potentially untrusted programs directly on top of &os;, + Linux and macOS, without requiring the use of virtualisation, + jails, etc. This makes it a useful building block for + cluster/cloud computing.</p> + + <p>Over the last couple of months, several new libraries and + applications have been ported over to CloudABI, the most + important addition being Python 3.6. This means that you can now + write strongly sandboxed apps in Python!</p> + + <p>Support for different hardware platforms has also improved. In + addition to amd64 and arm64, we now support i686 and armv6. + The release of LLVM 3.9 was important to us, as it has + integrated all the necessary changes to support the first three + platforms. Full armv6 support is still blocked on some issues + with LLVM's linker, LLD.</p> + </body> + + <sponsor> + Nuxi, the Netherlands + </sponsor> + + <help> + <task>Play around with CloudABI and let us know what you think of + it! Full support for amd64 and arm64 is part of &os; 11.0. + i686 and armv6 support is only available on HEAD, but will be + merged to the stable/11 branch in the future.</task> + + <task>Interested in Python programming?
