Signals from outer space
This library is a competing Signaling implementation, modeled after Bodil's purescript-signal library.
It's differences?
- Zeta Signals are traversable, but not functors, because mapping over a signal creates a new one (signals are references)
- There's an included
Foreign.Object.Object-based signaling system for dynamic handler sets
Generally, I just wanted a pure implementation of Bodil's Signal library - this one is probably much slower, and will break api compliance, so fair warning!
Philosophically, this library complements purescript-queue in the following ways:
- Queues pass messages to handlers, while Signals maintain a single state acknowledged by handlers
- Both Queues and Signals can have multiple handlers
- Signal handlers are informed of a whole value when reassigned, while Queues are informed of intentional message submissions
