In 2025 the Enso system has turned into really solid platform. Here is a curated list of important achievements:

Performance and Runtime

• Optimizing Enso distribution by not Wasting 100MB by Standard.Image

  • Launching ydoc-server together with language-server
  • Channel connecting two JVM instances
• Usual speed ups like
  • Benchmark ... and speed it up
  • 60% speed up....
• Towards Dual JVM!
  • Dual NI + JVM Mode for Loading Libraries
  • warning on non-AOT ready libraries
  • Running tests in dual JVM mode
  • Arrow format for LongStorage to make exchange between JVMs and Python possible
  • Fibonacci benchmark comparing hosted and dual JVM modes
• Tighten up execution semantics with ... when interrupting Enso execution

Improving the GUI

• Progress API to report status of computation to the GUI
• Telemetry via logging to give us insight into what users really do

Language & Libraries

• Encapsulation via private keyword
  • Types with private constructors can be public & co.
  • Prevent Meta access...
• Cleaning various APIs up
  • Reducing helper methods in ...
  • Designing Progress API
  • Moving >, >=, <, <= to types ....
