You can implement a runtime from scratch just following the spec. + +However, the fastest way to develop a new runtime is reusing the *ActionLoop* proxy, that already implements the specification and provides just a few hooks to get a fully functional (and *fast*) runtime in a few hours. + +## What is the ActionLoop proxy + +ActionLoop proxy is a runtime "engine", written in Go, originally developed precisely to support the Go language. However it was written in a pretty generic way, and it has been then adopted also to implement runtimes for Swift, PHP, Python, Rust, Java, Ruby and Crystal. It was developed with compiled languages in minds but works well also with scripting languages. Review comment: `in mind` instead of `in minds` How about: `Even though it was developed with compiled languages in mind it works equally well with scripting languages.` ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
