Reactive Programming with Algebra
summary
Claims that Algebra of Communicating Processes (ACP) plus a Scala extension yields clearer reactive code, implemented as SubScript, with concrete demos: a Swing search UI, a live visual debugger, Twitter client and Akka actor examples that combine scripts with futures. Implementation parses scripts to Scala, supports dataflow arrows and implicit conversions, targets Java VM now and JavaScript/Node later, and measures roughly 10,000 actions/sec (optimizable toward 100k) versus ~1M for raw actors.
