Not much info in the linked page. Here’s the project repo: https://github.com/elide-dev/elide

In summary: a Kotlin server that lets you write apps in multiple languages using GraalVM, integrates Node.js and esbuild for building frontend apps, and provides server side rendering for JS frameworks (presumably through GraalVM? Not clear from the docs).

The docs are getting a refresh before the launch event (author here)

Yes, it is a server framework for JVM, but also a binary target like Node. We'll be doing demos, benchmarks, and sharing other resources

(Also, thank you for reading and commenting. This feedback is helpful!)
