Doesn’t global predate the Elixir Registry and this whole thread by years? I think that @josevalim was referring to something else. Still, I couldn’t see reference to any new work in progress in the global docs.

The project was briefly mentioned at the conference in Stockholm last year:
It’s the distributed hash table mentioned as an alternative to Global on the last slide of “News from the OTP team.
There was also this tidbit:

Recently, attempts have been made to resolve the problems of Distributed Erlang: SD-Erlang and Ericsson’s planned port of global to the Kademlia DHT are focused on reducing the amount of information that each node in the global registry needs to replicate, but that only temporarily mitigates the problem.
That’s about all I’ve heard personally.
