This is a major change to the previous design, and also a change with
respect to the semantics in the ESOP 2016 paper. All the complexity of
echo-cancellation is stripped out of the core dataspace semantics, and
the relaying protocol is changed from one constructor, `at-meta`, to
two, `inbound` and `outbound`. The relay connecting a dataspace to its
container is now completely symmetric with the contained actors: it
initially asserts interest in what it is to relay, just like any other
actor would. Dataspaces no longer treat relaying specially.
This commit has updated all (I think) of the non-graphical examples. The
graphical code remains to be done in a following commit.
Make #lang syndicate module-begin gather boot actions into a
syndicate-main submodule, and for each such module, add a main
submodule that calls run-ground with the syndicate-main boot actions.
This lets us write syndicate *libraries* that comprise both
data-structures, functions, and Syndicate services.
This is Syndicate/Racket v2, modeled more closely after Syndicate/js.
Facets and Endpoints are now contained within a single actor, unlike
Syndicate/Racket v1, where a linkage protocol between multiple actors
was used. The approach to actor and facet state has been revised as a
consequence.
Almost all the examples using syndicate/actor have been updated.
Add support for encoding prefab structs as JSON objects.
Remove linkage & at-meta from patches inside broker dataspace. This is
ugly, and deserves to be revisited in future.
Fix a bug where using trie-prune-branch was incorrect, and
trie-subtract should have been used instead.
Factor out support/struct.rkt.
