I built a lightweight VM/runtime for AI-generated scripts from scratch
Most runtimes used by AI agents today are designed for humans, not disposable AI-generated code.
I’ve been experimenting with a small scripting runtime called Autolang focused on:
- low startup latency,
- strict static restrictions,
- restartable arena memory,
- opcode execution limits,
- and lightweight orchestration around existing ecosystems (Python/C++/JS).
The goal isn’t replacing Python, but creating a safer intermediary layer for short-lived AI-generated scripts.
I’m curious whether people here think this direction makes sense for modern AI-agent systems, especially compared to approaches like Wasm, Lua, or sandboxed Python.
I’d also genuinely appreciate feedback on runtime/compiler design and possible performance improvements if the project sounds interesting.
