Most of the time, we don't care about messages: we care about replicating (selected portions) of state among stateful entities. The language primitives we've settled on - variants on message passing - don't address this need directly enough. I've been exploring a programming model where state replication is first class. https://syndicate-lang.org/about/ https://syndicate-lang.org/about/ Sorry about the prose style!
- tommiegannert 5y agoNice! I think I'm working on the same problem, but attacking it from the storage system side (nothing public yet). I want the abstraction of networked systems to be about where the data is available, rather than who passes which message where. Are there more people working in this area?
