| Popis: | In his famous paper entitled "Tackling the Awkward Squad", Peyton Jones studies how features that traditionally did not fit in the functional programming paradigm can be added to a functional language via careful language design (e.g. using monads), instead of allowing programmers to sprinkle around impure expressions and ad-hoc library calls, thereby turning the entire program into a non-functional program. Similarly, in this paper, we identify a number of code characteristics that do not map onto the reactive programming paradigm but that are present in many real life reactive programs. We propose a novel Actor-Reactor model that can serve as the basis for future language designs that allow a programmer to use the awkward squad without making the reactive parts of the program accidentally non-reactive. |
