SUMMARY	theLink - A library to connect things, run a server and integrate your application
NEWS FROM: 10 apr, 2025	The main focus was ATL integration into NHI10 . NEW features Many changes to theKernel also affect theLink GENERAL: clean up the namespace and further standardization of names RENAME: type from MqCtxTypeS to MqTypeCtxS → cleanup namespace.
DETAILS	The theLink project is an infrastructure that allows multiple package-items to be linked together to act as one application. To link, you need to distribute the work from one package-item to another package-item and wait for an answer or not. Philosophy Write Once → Run Everywhere The package-item can be a thread, a separate local process that is started by fork or spawn, or even a network of multiple services on multiple hosts. The package-item can be written in any language that is supported by the Programming-Language-Micro-Kernel (PLMK) support. It even supports running multiple programming languages in a single piece of software. Supported Languages are: (C,C++,C#,VB.NET,Java,Python,Ruby,Perl,PHP,Tcl or GO) Strategy It takes 4 years to write a programming-language, but it only takes 4 weeks to insert a micro-kernel. The package-item is connected to one another via a pipe or a socket and is based on packages which are sent from one package-item to another package-item and back. Conclusion theLink is used to manage a network of multiple package-items using an API that is available in all major programming-languages.
