Inside OLSRT: Why we build everything from scratch

Hey Dev Community!

Today we want to share an important part of OLSRT’s philosophy: building everything from scratch.

Why not third‑party libraries?

From the beginning, OLSRT was never based on libuv or any other external runtime library. Why? Because we believe a universal runtime must be independent, flexible, and free from legacy constraints.

Depending on third‑party libraries often means:

  • Inherited limitations from their original design.
  • Less control over performance and security.
  • Harder integration when you want to support multiple languages.

Our decision

That’s why the OverLab Group chose to write everything ourselves — from the core engine to the helper tools. This ensures:

  • Full control over architecture.
  • Maximum performance without compromise.
  • A foundation designed for multi‑language support from day one.

The vision ahead

OLSRT isn’t just another runtime patched together with external dependencies. It’s being built as a Universal Runtime that can host multiple ecosystems side by side, giving developers freedom and flexibility.

This is why OLSRT is unique: it was never tied to libuv or any other library — it’s a runtime designed to stand on its own.
