Design goals

ideas​

  • functional programming is cool!
  • message passing is key to reliable/resilient systems.
  • event driven design is necessary for natural domain modeling.
  • DDD is a great design guideline.
  • state machines are building blocks of distributed systems.

to achieve​

  • Expressive domain modeling
  • Test driven development and general testing must be as easy as validating against literal numbers
  • serve as a CQRS chassis
  • we should be able to run a specific program with different interpreters with different characteristics.

non goals​

  • general tools for all the scenarios
    this library is designed specifically for event-driven/event-sourced applications with a DDD mindset in mind, it would be suitable for those specific problems, and probably a bad fit for others.
  • performance
    while it is considered as much as possible, to eliminate unnecessary works and do works as efficient as possible; performance has lower priority than being expressive. if you know how improve specific performance problems I would be very happy to discuss the matter, or more happy if you do a PR!
