Analogy of Goblins: a transactional, distributed actor model environment
- rapnie 6y agoThe other day there was a HN discussion about Goblins [0]. There were some questions about the Actor model of which Goblins [1] by Cristopher Lemmer Webber (co-author of the W3C ActivityPub recommendation) is an implementation. This reddit post explains actors in very simple terms using the analogy of.. well, Goblins, of course :) Goblins is part of the Spritely project [2], a set of great specs being developed, that will lift the Fediverse (among others) to new heights.
