The first programming language developed with the cooperation of a global supercomputer

Oblibeny is a revolutionary programming language that uses BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) to crowd-source formal verification of language properties through distributed computation.

RSR Compliance: Gold Level 🏆

This project adheres to the Rhodium Standard Repository (RSR) framework:

• Score: 110/110 (100%)

• Level: Gold (certified)

• TPCF Perimeter: 3 (Community Sandbox)

• Test Coverage: Infrastructure ready (tests in progress)

See RSR_COMPLIANCE for detailed compliance report.

Vision

Oblibeny combines:

🔐 Security by Design
Two-phase compilation ensures deployment-time code is provably terminating and resource-bounded

🤖 First-Class AI
AI effects are typed, tracked, and verified at compile-time

✅ Distributed Verification
BOINC-powered crowd-sourced formal verification

🌍 Sustainability-Focused
Explicit resource tracking for energy, carbon, and computational costs

📐 Formally Verified
Properties proven through property-based testing and formal methods

Quick Start

Using Just (Task Runner - Recommended)

# Show all available commands
just

# Validate RSR compliance
just validate

# Build all components
just build

# Run tests
just test

# Check RSR compliance status
just rsr-status

# Deploy locally
just deploy-local

Using Nix (Reproducible Builds)

# Enter development environment
nix develop

# Build all components
nix build .#default

# Build specific components
nix build .#oblibeny-parser
nix build .#oblibeny-coordinator
nix build .#oblibeny-proofs

Using Docker/Podman

cd deployment/podman
podman-compose up -d

This starts:

• ArangoDB database (port 8529)

• Elixir coordinator (port 4000)

• BOINC server (ports 80/443)

• Prometheus (port 9090)

• Grafana (port 3000)

Manual Build

Rust Parser

cd rust-parser
cargo build --release
./target/release/oblibeny --help

Elixir Coordinator

cd elixir-coordinator
mix deps.get
mix compile
iex -S mix

Lean 4 Proofs

cd lean-proofs
lake build

The 7 Properties

Property	Description	Status
1. Phase Separation Soundness	No compile-time constructs in deployment code	⚠️ Scaffolding
2. Deployment Termination	All deploy-time code provably halts	⚠️ Scaffolding
3. Resource Bounds Enforcement	Never exceed declared budgets	⚠️ Scaffolding
4. Capability System Soundness	I/O only within capability scope	⏳ TODO
5. Obfuscation Semantic Preservation	Code morphing preserves semantics	⏳ TODO
6. Call Graph Acyclicity	No recursion in deployment	⏳ TODO
7. Memory Safety	All accesses within bounds	⏳ TODO

Example Program

(program temperature-monitor
  (resource-budget
    (time-ms 120000)
    (memory-bytes 2048)
    (network-bytes 1024))

  (defcap temp-sensor (device) "Temperature sensor capability")
  (defcap network (device) "Network send capability")

  (defun-deploy read-and-send (sensor-cap network-cap) : void
    (let ((readings (array int32 10)))
      (bounded-for i 0 10
        (let ((temp (with-capability sensor-cap
                      (sensor-read sensor-cap))))
          (array-set readings i temp)
          (sleep-ms 1000)))

      (with-capability network-cap
        (network-send network-cap readings)))))
