Show HN: Happen We Discovered This Minimal Framework of Glue with Superpowers

Hey, builder here, appreciate your reply don't normally put our stuff out there so it's a bit of an adventure in an of itself. Totally get where you're coming from with the OOP comparison! The node/event pattern does look familiar on the surface, but instead of objects calling each other's methods directly, components just put information out there and continue with their work. the system maintains causality while remaining completely asynchronous. "Shouting into the void" that's a great visual We do have 3 communication patterns though - req/res, pub/sub, and indeed shouting into the void. On the stringly typed thing - yep, I feel you! We're definitely going to strongly type the framework as we move forward we just wanted to get something out there to get some feedback. What really makes Happen different is how it uses causality as its organizing principle. The verification stuff isn't just extra complexity - it creates a trail of breadcrumbs that proves where events came from and how they relate to each other. This lets you build distributed systems that don't need complex consensus protocols to trust each other. We also noticed that there are already great projects out there for agentic applications but getting them all to work together is difficult. Ultimately Happen is our attempt at solving for our use case, connecting ready made systems together in the simplest, most powerful way possible. Would love to hear what you think after you've had a chance to dig deeper! The OOP comparison is actually a great starting point for understanding the differences.
