What’s new here

Elide combines Kotlin, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python support into one runtime and toolchain. Instead of installing and managing a separate runtime for each language, you use a single entry point. The project has also moved to a source-available license, with the older open-source code still available on the v5 branch.

What it does

Elide is a runtime and toolchain that can execute JavaScript (ECMA2024), TypeScript, Python 3.11.x, Kotlin, and Pkl. You get one runtime that handles multiple languages without installing separate runtimes for each.

Releases are published to the GitHub repository. Documentation, guides, and samples are available at docs.elide.dev.

Who it’s for

Developers who work across Kotlin and JS/TS/Python ecosystems and want a single runtime and toolchain instead of managing separate installs for each language.
