# Episode #155 - A special look into LumenToday we have an extra special episode for you where we dig into a project you may have seen announced at the recent US Elixir Conference; Lumen, which is an alternate BEAM implementation, designed for WebAssembly.On the show we’re joined by the core members of the Lumen team: Brian Cardarella, Paul Schoenfelder, Luke Imhoff, and Hans Elias Bukholm Josephsen. We get into a lot of the details about the project; why it exists, what the goals are, what the hell web assembly is, and where it’s going. Join us and get a glimpse of a future direction for Elixir!## Links* Lumen on GitHub: https://github.com/lumen/lumen* Keynote from ElixirConf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMgTIlgYB-U&feature=youtu.be* Hans talk from CodeBEAM on EIR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSWxlLCfF6s* EIR: https://github.com/eirproject/eir* web-sys crate in Rust: https://crates.io/crates/web-sys* wasm-bindgen crate in Rust: https://crates.io/crates/wasm-bindgen* Web Assembly Spec: https://github.com/WebAssembly/spec* Scenic: https://github.com/boydm/scenic* Issues for Lumen: https://github.com/lumen/lumen/issues* Lumen on Elixir Slack: #lumen
