The Syndicated Actor Model
bout this project Could there be a better way to program communicating systems? Functional programs are easy to write, but programs that interact with each other and the outside world are much harder. Programming models like the Actor model and the Tuplespace model make great strides toward simplifying programs that communicate.
Integrates Actors with Tuplespace-like shared state, Ambients-like treatment of system boundaries, and Erlang-like techniques for signalling and recovering from partial failure. It has multiple syntaxes for different purposes: one is human-readable, and looks a lot like JSON; another is a compact binary format, suitable for canonicalization and hashing. A Preserves schema describing the allowable formats of assertions and messages in the example “chat” protocol, usable within patterns as well as for attenuating authority in syndicated capabilities.
