▶ Overview

Elide is a polyglot runtime and build toolchain — one binary that runs Kotlin, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python with ~5ms cold starts, 100x faster than Next.js, 36x faster than kotlinc. It replaces Maven, Gradle, and Bazel as a drop-in with zero config, native compilation via GraalVM, typed manifests with Apple Pkl, and built-in container images.

I designed and built the marketing site end-to-end with hand-rolled HTML assembled by a Bun pipeline, inlined CSS via LightningCSS with class mangling, edge-deployed on Cloudflare Workers. A dark-first design system built on JetBrains Mono and P3 color gradients.

Design system built from scratch — token-first, dark-mode native, with a rem-based 8px spacing scale, strict type hierarchy on JetBrains Mono and system sans, P3 oklch color overrides for wide-gamut displays, and adaptive contrast tokens for accessibility. Motion is scroll-driven with View Transitions for MPA page navigation and reduced-motion fallbacks in both CSS and JS. Privacy runs at the edge through a Cloudflare Worker consent API serving jurisdiction-specific banners for GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD with Consent Mode v2 defaults and HttpOnly cookies.
