And I think that's worth at least thinking about."
Quite agree! The "fun" aspect is one that we keep running into with FBP users!
However, I don't quite know what to make of your own post - maybe some of the other readers would care to weigh in!
A couple of comments, however:
- you say you started reading my book - if you had read Chap. 3, I feel it would have at least got you started on the concepts...
- don't know why you say there is too much Java - the book has very few references to Java. JavaFBP is one implementation - I like it because it plays nicely with DrawFBP, but FBP is language-agnostic...
- I don't understand the appeal of JavaScript - I find it almost unmaintainable! If I have to use JS, I prefer to base my software on node-fibers - see https://github.com/jpaulm/jsfbp . Without node-fibers, I find JS, with all its extensions, very hard to work with - plus, I really don't like typeless! There is an interesting discussion between some JS gurus about "promises", etc. in https://github.com/jpaulm/jsfbp/issues/14 ... You might also want to take a look at
https://jpaulm.github.io/fbp/concat.html , which tries to highlight the difference between doing a rather basic FBP function in "real" FBP on the one hand, and "FBP-inspired" on the other. David mentions my paper contrasting these, but I will repeat the link here: http://www.jpaulmorrison.com/fbp/noflo.html .
- You ask, "Or I just need to start the network, then I need to do a loop inside each element for ever?" I would have thought this was obvious - in a factory, do you ask if the bottling machine runs forever? It just runs until it requires maintenance, or is switched off on weekends, or whatever - user's choice! That's what an FBP app is: multiple machines running concurrently!
Lastly, I understand why David built his own micro-FBP, but he says, "... in other words do not use rhei.js for anything."! I thought that was great! In comparison, I do not understand why people (other than David) so often decide to build their own implementations - . I would strongly recommend using DrawFBP and JavaFBP - DrawFBP lets you draw your network, automatically generate the Java for it, compile and run it! What's not to like?! Bob Corrick in England has produced a number of easy to follow YouTube videos demonstrating this process (do a find on DrawFBP). Thanks, Bob!
Cheers,
Paul M.
Hello FBP group!my name is Fernando and I am a software developer from Punta del Este, Uruguay (South America).
I found FBP few months ago....
