• [DONE] during/spawn

• [DONE] during

• [DONE] let { LaterThan } = activate require("@syndicate-lang/driver-timer");

• [DONE] react

• [DONE] spawn* or similar - looks like spawn on start { ... } will do the trick

• [DONE] activation

• [DONE] remove ground dataspace syntax

• [DONE] spawn :let childVal = parentCalculation { ... }

• [DONE] better autobuilding for smooth and fast dev; babel uses gulp?

• [DONE] dataspaces, dataspace relays

• [DONE? Surely there's more] pin down and fix the problems with facet field scope (!!)

• [DONE] npm init @syndicate

• [DONE] change send syntax from ^ ... to send ... :-(

  • Using ^ is too cute. Indentation doesn't work, and forgetting a semicolon causes silent xor!

• [DONE] timer driver

• [DONE] ui driver

• [DONE] web driver

• [DONE] tcp driver

• defer statement

• define/query

• some kind of stop facet statement - put a Symbol on the fields blob?

• other kinds of relay

• alias wrapExternal to index.js

• @syndicate-lang/standalone, analogous to @babel/standalone

• deferTurn should prevent a facet from terminating! This came up in some formulations of the game-restart logic in the flappy bird demo.

• driver-streams-node/src/subprocess.js: perhaps figure out some way of blocking SIGQUIT, which I'm currently using to get debug output, in children, so they don't terminate too?
