If gates are functions and their inputs are like function inputs and composing gates is like function composition, then how is this different from a normal programming language ?
- tmcb 12y agoIt is not intended to be solely a general purpose programming language. It looks more like a DSL for inter-process communication. As "process", I mean not ordinary OS processes, but computation units written either in Escher or other languages, like Go, at the moment. It's mostly systems programming research (IMO, at its best, given the poor state of the art nowadays), but at that intersection area with programming languages.
