We’ve also upgraded the core experience around Deta Micros. We’ve completely refreshed them to support many more runtimes and frameworks. This includes frontend libraries like [React and Svelte](https://deta.space/docs/en/quickstart-guides/static), alongside their full-stack complements [Next.js](https://deta.space/docs/en/quickstart-guides/next) and [Nuxt](https://deta.space/docs/en/quickstart-guides/nuxt). Space also supports new backend languages like [Go](https://deta.space/docs/en/quickstart-guides/go), with [Rust](https://deta.space/docs/en/quickstart-guides/rust) coming soon. The community has also created templates for running a number of other languages like Deno, Crystal, Nim and Dart using our “custom” runtime feature.

Once you have an app that you’re happy with in your Space, you can click a button or send a command. From this point, Deta can run it anywhere, around the world, for anyone with an internet connection, in their own Space. Your app will keep running forever (as long as Space exists), with no work from you needed.

This is a whole lot of drudgery, coming from the client needing to go through a backend [Micro](https://deta.space/docs/en/build/fundamentals/the-space-runtime/micros) to store and retrieve data. It also adds a lot of latency to user actions, as they are waiting on a backend Micro to respond (cough cough, cold starts).
