Mesh is a compiled, statically typed language with actors built in and clustering in the runtime. Mark the work that can run anywhere; Mesh handles placement, routing, and failover.

pub fn hello(request :: Request) -> Response do

Some(name) -> HTTP.response(200, json { hello: name })
None -> HTTP.response(400, "missing name")
end

let router = HTTP.router()
# the runtime decides which node runs it
|> HTTP.on_get("/hello/:name", HTTP.clustered(hello))
case Node.start_from_env() do
Ok(_) -> HTTP.serve(router, 8080)
Err(reason) -> println("boot failed: #{reason}")
end

Keep orchestration out of your handlers.
Handlers declare what may run on the cluster. The runtime owns placement, routing, and continuity, so a lost node is its problem, not your code's.
Illustrative. Real recovery depends on quorum, replicas, and your continuity policy.
Standard library
Server primitives, included.
HTTP, WebSockets, Postgres, SQLite, JSON, jobs, and a test runner ship with the toolchain. No framework to pick first.
Browse the standard library →actor counter(total :: Int) do
receive do
amount -> counter(total + amount)
end
end
fn main() do
let pid = spawn(counter, 0) # Pid<Int>
send(pid, 5)
send(pid, "five") # compile error: expected Int, found String
endPerformance
Native speed, measured.
One minimal HTTP endpoint on dedicated 2 vCPU machines, 100 connections. A benchmark, not a promise about your app.
