Realizing Persistent Signals in JavaScript
summary
Claims a working prototype that brings persistent signals to the browser by implementing them as a DSL library (no JS syntax changes) and mediating browser↔time-series DB access via a relay-server-based architecture (Node.js template + WebSocket + ID-resolution). Demo is an IoT monitor with a slider that uses a snapshot time-travel API to fetch historical values. Prototype renders updates and avoids SignalJ-only lockin, but currently cannot create new persistent signals from the DSL.
