Simple, Expressive Syntax

Simplex code is clean and readable. AI operations are first-class citizens, not external API calls. Actors provide natural isolation and fault tolerance.

  • Static typing with aggressive type inference
  • Ownership-based memory management (no GC)
  • Pattern matching and algebraic data types
  • Built-in support for AI operations

actor Chatbot {
    var history: List<Message> = []

    receive Chat(user_msg: String) -> String {
        history.push(Message::user(user_msg))

        let response = await ai::complete(
            build_prompt(history)
        )

        history.push(Message::assistant(response))

Why Simplex?

Built from the ground up for the AI era, combining the best ideas from proven technologies.

AI-Native

AI operations are first-class language constructs. Complete, embed, extract, and classify with simple function calls. Automatic batching and model tiering for cost efficiency.

Distributed-First

Programs naturally decompose across VM swarms. Content-addressed code enables seamless distribution. Actors migrate transparently between nodes.

Fault-Tolerant

Embrace the "let it crash" philosophy from Erlang. Supervision trees automatically restart failed actors. Checkpointing enables resumption on any node.

Cognitive Hive AI

Orchestrate swarms of specialized Small Language Models instead of monolithic LLMs. Achieve 88-96% cost savings while maintaining quality and gaining control.

Resumable

Computations checkpoint and resume transparently. Survive spot instance terminations, network partitions, and hardware failures without losing progress.

Lightweight Syntax

Clean, readable code that compiles to efficient bytecode. Static typing with aggressive inference means fewer annotations without sacrificing safety.

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Simplex combines proven ideas from the best programming languages and systems.

Erlang/OTP

Actor model, supervision trees, "let it crash" philosophy, and battle-tested fault tolerance patterns.

Rust

Ownership-based memory management, no garbage collection, algebraic data types, and pattern matching.

Ray

Distributed computing primitives, seamless scaling across clusters, and AI/ML workload optimization.

Unison

Content-addressed code where functions are identified by hash, enabling perfect caching and distribution.

What Can You Build?

Simplex excels at building enterprise applications on a Cognitive Hive AI architecture.

Content Management (CMS)

AI-powered content creation, automatic tagging and categorization, semantic search, and intelligent content recommendations.

Customer Relations (CRM)

Intelligent lead scoring, sentiment analysis, automated response suggestions, and predictive customer insights.

Document Management (DMS)

Automatic document classification, entity extraction, summarization, and semantic document search.

Data Pipelines

Distributed data processing with fault tolerance, automatic retry, and seamless scaling across compute clusters.

AI Agents

Build autonomous agents with tool use, memory, and reasoning capabilities using specialized language model swarms.

Real-Time Processing

Event-driven architectures, stream processing, and real-time analytics with sub-millisecond actor messaging.
