Reaction status
Sergey Schetinin
I put quite a lot of work into Reaction this past month and a half and
it's already quite close to what I wanted it to become. There can be a
lot more of high-level additions like networking, but the core is
reasonably close to what it should be. It strayed quite far Trellis,
but I think it would take very little effort to port a project from
Trellis to Reaction (even though it seems that there are few projects
to port anyway). There were some changes to what is allowed and not
which should guide to better solutions.
Anyway I want to go over the changes and explain what and why was
changed. I will be writing about that in a number of emails and then
collect and edit them to update the ForkChanges page. You can also
look through commit log at
http://code.google.com/p/trellis-fork/source/list which should give
you some idea of what I was working on. I try to keep commit messages
informative, so it should be reasonably easy to understand.
I also welcome you to read the source and ask questions, so I can add
comments there, so that things are easier to figure out just by
reading the source. If anyone wants to do that, tell, me I might put
together a short guide on what is the best order of reading the
sources. Also, do NOT read the .txt files in tests directory --
explanations in those were not updated and they are used for doctests
only -- sometimes the examples provided directly conflict with the
explanation right before them. There aren't too many cases of that,
but it still shouldn't be mistaken for docs.
