Modular, lightweight, cross-platform apps with Go and TypeScript.

Aperture Robotics is an open source focused organization building
a next-generation development stack for apps w/ Go, Wasm, TypeScript.

🏗️ Projects

Get started building an application with the stack with the project template!

🧱 App Stack

• ControllerBus - Dynamically configurable communicating control loops
• Bifrost - Cross-platform networking engine with pluggable transports
• goscript - Transpile Go to TypeScript
• ocpipe - Build LLM pipelines with OpenCode and Zod

SkiffOS is a minimal Linux distribution designed to run containers on embedded devices. It uses Buildroot to cross-compile a tiny system image with support for Docker and other container runtimes. SkiffOS enables running any Linux distribution or application in lightweight containers on embedded hardware.

🪶 Lightweight Protobuf

These are lightweight reflection-free code-generation based implementations of Protobuf designed to optimize binary size and performance, especially for WebAssembly (wasm) applications.

• StaRPC - Protobuf 3 RPC services over any stream multiplexer
• protobuf-es-lite - Lightweight TypeScript protobuf implementation
• protobuf-go-lite - Lightweight Go protobuf implementation
• protobuf-project - Template repository for projects using protobufs

Protobuf libraries like protobuf-es and protobuf-go focus on spec compliance and feature-complete implementations. These lite libraries focus on just the base proto2 and proto3 spec including RPCs to simplify the implementation.

🔌 QuickJS WASI Reactor

Run QuickJS-NG JavaScript engine in Go and TypeScript using the WASI reactor model for re-entrant execution:

• quickjs - QuickJS-NG fork with WASI reactor build target
• go-quickjs-wasi - Go module with embedded QuickJS-NG WASI command binary
• go-quickjs-wasi-reactor - Go module with embedded QuickJS-NG WASI reactor binary
• js-quickjs-wasi-reactor - Run QuickJS-NG within JavaScript with WASI reactor model

📚 Libraries

Common Go/TypeScript libraries:

• Common - Common project configuration files and Protobuf toolchain.
• Util - Go utilities for easy concurrent programming.
• go-kvfile - File format for storing a compressed key/value store

Lightweight / modified forks of other libraries:

• Cayley - Go Graph database forked from cayleygraph
• FlexLayout - Interactive drag/drop layout manager for React
• fastjson - Reflection-free json parser and validator
• go-brotli-decoder - Pure Go Brotli decompressor
• go-indexeddb - Low-level Go driver for IndexedDB in Wasm
• goprotowrap - Package-at-a-time wrapper for protoc
• json-iterator-lite - Minimal and fast reflection-free json marshal and unmarshal for Go
