The openIE-dev ecosystem

Lux is one of five public openIE-dev projects. All five share a common substrate (flowG) and energy-metering layer (substrate-energy):

• flow-g — the IR + runtime substrate
• lux-lang — reactive language compiling to flowG
• jmax — math-native language
• joule-lang — energy-budgeted compiled language
• jouledb — energy-metered database
