I'm the author of Jido, an Elixir Actor & Agent SDK. I was building out an Elixir Durable Actor/Agent server and hit a wall regarding communication protocols. I reviewed all the existing protocols; A2A, ACP, AHP and nothing met my needs.

I wanted a language agnostic durable actor session protocol. Agent Host Protocol (AHP) from Microsoft was close, but was centered around "chat".

The future I envision for agents goes far beyond just text chat. Thus, DASP was born.

I'm submitting to HN because I know this is the one place where I'll get real feedback on whether this is an actual need or my tokenmaxxing got the best of me this weekend.

This is a builder protocol. I'll be building out clients beyond Elixir and TypeScript, but plan to only support an Elixir server built around my Jido ecosystem.
