<p>CloudABI is a compact UNIX-like runtime environment inspired by
&os;'s Capsicum security framework. It allows you to safely
run potentially untrusted programs directly on top of &os;,
Linux and macOS, without requiring the use of virtualisation,
jails, etc. This makes it a useful building block for
cluster/cloud computing.</p>
<p>Over the last couple of months, several new libraries and
applications have been ported over to CloudABI, the most
important addition being Python 3.6. This means that you can now
write strongly sandboxed apps in Python!</p>
<p>Support for different hardware platforms has also improved. In
addition to amd64 and arm64, we now support i686 and armv6.
The release of LLVM 3.9 was important to us, as it has
integrated all the necessary changes to support the first three
platforms. Full armv6 support is still blocked on some issues
with LLVM's linker, LLD.</p>

<task>Play around with CloudABI and let us know what you think of
it! Full support for amd64 and arm64 is part of &os; 11.0.
i686 and armv6 support is only available on HEAD, but will be
merged to the stable/11 branch in the future.</task>

strong sandboxing? Try building them using the CloudABI cross
compiler!</task>
