Hologram FAQ
What Is Hologram?
What is Hologram?
Hologram is a library that optimizes computational operations at compile-time, then executes them in constant time at runtime. It's not a runtime, service, or framework—it's code that compiles into your application binary.
What problem does it solve?
Traditional computation executes operations sequentially, so cost grows with operation count. Hologram fuses operations into fixed circuits that execute in O(1) time per element, regardless of how many operations were fused.
Is it a new programming language?
No. It's a library you use from existing languages (Rust, Python, TypeScript, Swift, Kotlin, C++).
Is it a runtime like JVM or .NET?
No. There's no separate runtime process. Hologram code compiles directly into your binary and runs in your application's process.
Is it a service or daemon?
No. There's no background service, no systemd unit, no separate process. It's just code in your application.
