Narodnik

Distributed Heterogenous Actors Agreements protocol:

• s-expression contract and schedule specifications
• subscribe or publish channel specifications
• process, publish or subscribe to channel schedules
• declared constraint graph subscriptions
• channel modules

Theory & Implementation

• influenced by Protocol Buffers, Prolog, and the Actor Model
• “DHA VM” compile to Common Lisp, Clojure, and Python

TODO

security and networking/package:

• byte compiled package messages
• encryption/compression
• p2p communication and chaining with common state
• dynamic port allocation/reassignment
• request per-ip throttle
• buffer limit
• tunneling over http

speed & optimization:

• caching; machines, hosts, dynamic?
• compile final exchange/package interface messages to byte encoding

future other:

• iterative state tracking on db, each insert with timetstamp
• dependent state-changing fn track, store each stateful! sexp eval’d
• ^ example of above is db inserts created from existing state data, (foreach widget insert…)
• …for cross-db state merging (for scaling vm instances)
• schema tinkering, batch query optimization
