At Google I/O 2025, most of the hands-on demos were dedicated to Gemini AI and the exciting Android XR glasses. But tucked in a corner of the grounds around the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA, was a set of windowless rooms showing off one of the company's most promising innovations: Google Beam. In one of those rooms, I had a video chat where my conversation partner literally popped off the screen in 3D. Google Beam is the new name for Project Starline, which the company has been w

Google TL;DR Project Starline is now known as Google Beam. The communication platform is expected to come to market this year for select customers.

Since then, we've checked out an early version of the experiment for ourselves and learned last year that the company is teaming up with HP to bring a scaled-down version of the product to enterprise clients.

While benchmarking Go vs Elixir vs Node, we discovered that Elixir (running on the BEAM virtual machine) had much higher CPU usage than Go, and yet its responsiveness remained excellent. Some of our readers suggested that busy waiting may be responsible for this behavior. Turns out, busy waiting in BEAM is an optimization that ensures maximum responsiveness. In essence, when waiting for a certain event, the virtual machine first enters a CPU-intensive tight loop, where it continuously checks t
