Flow-based programming and the actor model have some overlap. There's an interesting discussion of this on the c2 wiki: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ActorsAndFlowBasedProgrammingDiscussi... One big difference between actors and FBP is that actors can give feedback whereas flow-based programs can only send data from one port to another (so, providing feedback to the process feeding it information requires the creation of an input port on the feeder and a feedback output port on the processor...) As with anything else, FBP isn't a hammer that turns everything else into a nail, but it's an interesting architectural pattern. I'll be curious to see their noflo-based Jekyll replacement. |
