The modern runtime.
One binary. Every language. Native performance.
// use node apis
import { readFileSync } from "node:fs"
// interoperate across languages
import sample from "./sample.py"
const x: number = 42;
console.log(sample.greeting() + ` The answer is ${x}`);def greeting(name = "Elide"):
return f"Hello, {name}!"Hello, Elide! The answer is 42
artifacts {
// Build a JAR from our code
["jar"] = build.jar()
// Build a native image from our JAR
["native"] = build.nativeImage("jar")
// Wrap in a container — no Docker needed
["container"] = (build.containerImage("native")) {
image = "ghcr.io/elide-dev/samples/containers"
}
}SSR cold-start benchmarks on Linux x64. See methodology.
First-class citizen. No prior build step. KotlinX out of the box. Maven dependencies with zero config.
.kt .kts
import kotlinx.serialization.json.Json
import kotlinx.serialization.Serializable
@Serializable
data class Config(val name: String, val port: Int)
fun main() {
val config = Json.decodeFromString<Config>("""{"name":"elide","port":3000}""")
println("Running ${config.name} on port ${config.port}")
}
Pkl as a manifest format. Like package.json or pom.xml, but typed and composable. Maven dependencies resolve automatically.

75x faster than Node.js isn't a theoretical benchmark. It's what happens when you compile JavaScript to native machine code instead of interpreting it. Same for Python. Same for Kotlin.
You don't have to rewrite in Rust to get memory safety. Elide sandboxes your existing JavaScript, Python, and JVM code at the runtime level. The safety comes from the runtime, not the language.
No more "which Node version." No more "which JDK." No more "which Python." One binary, every language, every developer on the team.
No migration guide because there's nothing to migrate. Same file extensions, same imports, same APIs. Faster output.
