# Motivation
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- # Motivation -->
|
||||
Every interactive program needs some way of
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Syndicate is an Actor-based language with features specifically -->
|
||||
<!-- designed to help programmers organise their interactive programs. -->
|
||||
- representing the *conversations* it is having as *concurrent
|
||||
components*
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- # Trying it out -->
|
||||
- *mapping incoming events* to these components
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- The [Syndicate github repository](https://github.com/tonyg/syndicate) -->
|
||||
<!-- contains Syndicate implementations for both -->
|
||||
<!-- [Racket](http://racket-lang.org/) and -->
|
||||
<!-- [ES5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript). -->
|
||||
- managing the *shared understanding* that the components are
|
||||
building as they work towards the program's goal
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ... -->
|
||||
<!-- which includes -->
|
||||
- cleaning up shared state after *partial failure* of a component
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- - the implementation of the `#lang syndicate` language, in the -->
|
||||
<!-- [`syndicate` directory](https://github.com/tonyg/syndicate/tree/master/syndicate/). -->
|
||||
- *scoping* interactions and shared state inside the program
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- - a TCP echo server example, which listens for connections on port -->
|
||||
<!-- 5999 by default, in -->
|
||||
<!-- [`syndicate/examples/echo.rkt`](https://github.com/tonyg/syndicate/tree/master/syndicate/examples/echo.rkt). -->
|
||||
<!-- Connect to it using, for example, `telnet localhost 5999`. -->
|
||||
Existing programming languages lack linguistic support for these
|
||||
requirements, leaving the programmer to fend for themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- - a handful of other examples, in -->
|
||||
<!-- [`syndicate/examples/`](https://github.com/tonyg/syndicate/tree/master/syndicate/examples/). -->
|
||||
Syndicate is a language designed to help organise interactive
|
||||
programs.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ## Compiling and running the code -->
|
||||
# Features
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- You will need Racket version 6.3 or later. -->
|
||||
Syndicate is an Actor-based language offering
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Once you have Racket installed, run -->
|
||||
- pub/sub pattern-based message routing, for mapping events to actors
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- raco pkg install syndicate -->
|
||||
- *dataspaces*, stores for semi-structured data, for managing shared
|
||||
state
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- to install the package from the Racket package repository, or -->
|
||||
- *state change notifications* for keeping actors informed of changes
|
||||
in dataspaces
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- raco pkg install -->
|
||||
- integrated techniques for registering and discovering services and
|
||||
for cleaning up after both graceful and unexpected actor failures
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- from the root directory of the Git checkout to install the package -->
|
||||
<!-- from a local snapshot. (Alternatively, `make link` does the same thing.) -->
|
||||
<!-- This will make `#lang syndicate` available to programs. -->
|
||||
- recursive layering of groups of actors, each group with a private
|
||||
dataspace of its own, for organising larger programs
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- At this point, you may load and run any of the example `*.rkt` files -->
|
||||
<!-- in the -->
|
||||
<!-- [`syndicate/examples/`](https://github.com/tonyg/syndicate/tree/master/syndicate/examples/) -->
|
||||
<!-- directory. -->
|
||||
Together, these features help address the above challenges.
|
||||
|
||||
# Code
|
||||
|
||||
Syndicate is implemented both for [Racket](http://racket-lang.org/)
|
||||
and for [ES5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript).

|
||||
The [Syndicate github repository]({{ page.link.ghrepo }}) contains
|
||||
implementations along with some larger example programs.
