Well pipe(), despite being a great extensibility tool, is not a "flow-reuse" abstraction, as it (mostly) just works as a transformer of (mostly) one observable into another. a reactive flow is a directed graph in general and an in

That wasn't intended as a grumpy remark actually, sorry if it came off as such. And wait, I thought you were referring the '-' in 'large-scale' not the term itself ...

yeah its hard to hire people for one-person open-source projects.

yes it really is an interesting project in this area as well, though it seems to be mostly focusing on state-management and binding reactive flows to React components and leaving the flow programming mostly to RxJS (though I have only looke

do you mean "why I felt this was needed"? then this link should address your question: https://connective.dev/docs/connective-v-rxjs if you mean "how I got to doing this?" well I was thinking of wri

by lorean_victor 7y ago
ok a bit of background: I have been working on my off time for some time now to bring reactive programming to the fore-front of web development, as I think it best captures the essence of the logic in those domains, which is basically an ev

ok imagine doB() is a function that loads a record from the database and doD() is for example a password hash matcher (really imperfect example, just trying to get the point across). You might want to use both doB() and doD() in other conte

The "crazy" label is merely a hint to the inherent resistance of most programmers towards "visual" tools, disregarding them for reasons not-withstanding in this case. yet here it seems like actually the "visual&quot

Yeah we reached that point pretty early on while developing the PaaS with the tool, so had to incorporate support for mixed synchronous JS blocks. you can check out how to do that here: https://medium.com/connect-platform&#x

to a pretty limited degree, could you elaborate more?

by lorean_victor 8y ago
yeah really not bad at all, didn't think of that solution originally. edited the article accordingly.

by lorean_victor 8y ago
yes you are right the constructors aren't indeed needed. as for the complexity of the graph, basically the way I see it is that even this promised based method is a way to solve the problem of putting the graph into the proper promise-

by lorean_victor 8y ago
Shouldn't it be like doE: doC, doB, doA doD: doB etc? anyways the problem with this approach is that doD() is assumed to be a general function (or statement or async command) that is not by definition bound to doB(), but rather in this

by lorean_victor 8y ago
so in your code sample, would 'aOut' be a promise or a value? in case it is a promise, then basically doC() would needed to be re-written to handle when it gets a promised value instead of an actual value, and if not, then doA() m

by lorean_victor 8y ago
yeah I think the article actually starts with that Promise-based code snippet. Even the sequential graph is based on the promise-based code.

by lorean_victor 8y ago
Yeah I don't think so that on its own the visual programming makes any difference (or even adds any value). The main point here is that the "visual programming" is coincidentally a solution for async programming.
87.
by lorean_victor 8y ago
and to be fair its a really redundant format. I mean I personally would prefer the current undesirable situation rather than doing XML-based coding all day.
