LANGUAGE2026-05-25SlimeGENBA-LUI joins the LANGUAGE family — Legacy UI (LUI) preservation for mainframe terminals

A 2-layer UI architecture for CICS BMS / Hitachi XMAP / Fujitsu MELT / NEC OLF maps. Layer 1 keeps the existing terminal-authentic LUI (Legacy UI) — TAB / ENTER / PF keys, no mouse — so veteran operators stay at ~1,500 transactions/day. Layer 2 is an optional Modern Web UI overlay for newer staff. Early development: IBM BMS production-ready against the real corpus; the 3 Japanese-vendor parsers (Hitachi / Fujitsu / NEC) are scaffolds with inferred syntax pending NDA sample verification.

LANGUAGE2026-05-24 ★★★Mainframe DB backend SlimeTree-VSAM — 480× faster than PostgreSQL in same-host bench

For COBOL legacy migration, we built a native VSAM-compatible storage backend in Rust and ran a head-to-head bench against PostgreSQL 16 on the same host. Result: per-access 480× faster on sequential cursor, 267× on random key access. A 1-billion-record nightly batch — the kind that crushes overnight windows in financial mainframes — shrinks from PostgreSQL's 19.5 hours to 4.4 minutes. SHA-256 audit chain is built in for bit-exact regulatory compliance.

DEVICE2026-05-23 ★★SlimeTree-RLM (semantic-driven record system) Rust-ported to a 272 KB WASM binary — runs server-less on browser / mobile / embedded

We reimplemented SlimeTree-RLM, the semantic-driven record system layered orthogonally over an existing system (LLM / decision engine / business rule), in Rust as a single 272 KB WebAssembly binary. Runs server-less on browser, smartphone, or embedded device, 24× faster than Python, stable under 10,000-unit memory tests (500 steps, zero data loss). Deployment routes for in-house enterprise / personal PCs / offline environments are now open.

DEVICE2026-05-23 ★★SlimeTree-RLM application (AI): hallucination suppressed 66% → 22% (-44pt) without modifying a single LLM weight

As an AI application of SlimeTree-RLM (semantic-driven record system), we layered it orthogonally over an off-the-shelf Qwen3:8b LLM, ran 100 questions × 3 trials (σ=4%), and observed that without changing any LLM weight, hallucination dropped from 66% to 22%, while response time accelerated 5.8×. RLM is not AI-specific — it works equally for non-AI applications (audit / decision / process control with semantic-driven constraints).

LANGUAGE2026-05-21 ★SlimeRESCUE listed price finalised — mainframe binary origin at $14.95 per LOC

For the premium SKU that reconstructs Java/COBOL directly from mainframe execution binaries when source code is lost, we have finalised the public unit at 1.5× the source-origin product price = $14.95/LOC. This reflects the absence of any substitute on the market. Detailed terms are disclosed via partners under NDA.

LANGUAGE2026-05-20 PM4 ★★SlimeNENC’s engine rewritten in Rust — 1/3.5 the size, much harder to reverse-engineer

The 8 core modules that convert COBOL to Java have been rewritten in the more rigid Rust language. Total size shrank from 2.16 MB to 637 KB. Across 1,818 COBOL programs converted to 5 languages, the output is byte-for-byte 100.000% identical to the Python baseline. Reverse-engineering resistance improved.

LANGUAGE2026-05-20 PM3 ★Bringing Java back from mainframes whose source code is lost — new SlimeRESCUE-VOS3

Customers who have lost the original COBOL source due to vendor changes, M&A or retired staff are estimated to hold 120-240 billion lines worldwide. The new SlimeRESCUE-VOS3 generates Java/COBOL/Rust directly from execution binaries. Confirmed 6/6 exact match against the world-canonical z/Architecture emulator Hercules 3.13. Covers Hitachi VOS3 / Fujitsu MSP / IBM z/OS from a single codebase.

LANGUAGE2026-05-20 PM2 ★US federal Medicare pricing programs auto-converted into 5 languages — 675 / 675 success

US Medicare benefit calculation is a domain where a one-cent deviation is a federal violation. CMS has finished a human Java port already; we auto-converted the same 135 COBOL files into Java / COBOL / Rust / C# / Kotlin / Go — 675/675 emit successes (100.000%). Full behavioural equivalence with the CMS official Java is being verified in the next phase.

LANGUAGE2026-05-20 PM ★SlimeCOBOL reorganised as a 5-SKU umbrella — 2 SKUs released today

COBOL has many dialects (IBM, UK, Micro Focus, GnuCOBOL, ACUCOBOL…). We split into dedicated SKUs so each can be marketed by its own measured numbers. Today releases SlimeCOBOL-MF (IBM + UK dialects) and SlimeCOBOL-GnuCOBOL. Remaining 3 SKUs are roadmap; pre-orders accepted.

LANGUAGE2026-05-20 ★A 1976-born, ~100,000-line accounting system: fully converted

A long-standing open-source accounting package from the UK, ACAS 3.01.07 (origin 1976, ~100,000 lines), converted into 5 languages — 685/685 byte-exact 100.000% identical. The largest single real-world system we have cleared so far, certifying that we now formally cover production-grade GnuCOBOL.

LANGUAGE2026-05-19 ★US Federal COBOL Validation (FIPS 21-3) cleared — 3,910 / 3,910 match

In addition to the US federal COBOL validation suite, AWS / IBM / Rocket / private libraries — 10 corpora, 782 files — were converted into 5 languages: 3,910/3,910 byte-exact (100.000%). Anyone can third-party reproduce in a browser-equivalent WASI sandbox.

LANGUAGE2026-05-19SlimeASM-rev split into SlimeELF-rev + SlimePE-rev

Reverse-conversion family reorganised as 2 OS-specific SKUs (Linux ELF / Windows PE32+). x86_64 decoder and Slot IR are shared. The existing /slimeasm-rev/ URL persists as the family landing.

META2026-05-18SIer / Reseller Partner Programme launched

A formal SIer-mediated sales structure for COBOL / JCL / PL/I / RPG / Natural / HLASM migrations. 6-category certification, online application open. Margin tiers disclosed under NDA.

LANGUAGE2026-05-18PSDP pricing: 4-way structure finalised

PSDP procurement organised into 4 paths (SlimeNENC bundled / bundled / via SIer / direct end-user). Annual runtime fee converges to a uniform level across all paths.

LANGUAGE2026-05-14PSDP released as an independent product line

Same-language parallelization for Java / C# / Rust / Go / Kotlin is now positioned as a product pillar independent of the SlimeNENC family. bit-exact output + audit chain. Product line now has 4 pillars.

LANGUAGE2026-05-11SlimeASM released

HLASM + x64 MASM → Java bit-exact transformation. The wedge is hot-loop migration in bank core systems.

VIDEO2026-05-10NormH.264 v0.4.2 / NormAV1 split into separate SKUs

SlimeCodec line reorganised as 2 products. NormH.264 ships with Trial Signature Mode by default.
