Discord: Programming Simplicity all welcome, I invite more discussion of these topics, esp. regarding Drawware and 0D

message queues are homogenous - can contain Messages of different types

queues preserve time relativity between messages

not 1 queue per port

shared memory causes angst and must not be the default paradigm forming the basis of programming languages

NO shared memory

except that soft Components are easier to re-program than hardware components

all software is hardware

“tag” is like a pin on an IC

tuple {tag, raw data}

a bi-directional wire is just an optimization for copper costs via addition of extra software

basis for function call

basis for message Send

use message send instead of function call when talking to other Components

implicit dependencies

explicit dependencies

snip ALL dependencies

software LEGO® blocks

LEGO® block Software Components

Structured Message Passing for composing new apps in layers

A unit of software becomes a LEGO® block

Every unit of software is a modern “Actor” (aka 0D)

obsidian blogs (see blogs that begin with a date 202x-xx-xx-)

most languages - Rust, Haskell, Python, Javascript, etc. - incorporate mutation and memory sharing (aka “threads” complexification) and heaps (complex Garbage Collection) at some low level

instead of operating systems, developers have toolboxes containing prefab software Components

A modern actor is akin to a bare Arduino that doesn’t come with pre-loaded Linux
