1. receive() pattern matching -- what is common here, always
send (int, someData) where int is a value you compare to. Or
create dummy types that you can match on directly?
I would always create a new type and have it hold the data.
struct SomeCommand {
int[] data;
}
2. What is the reason you can't decide which thread(s) to
receive() from and is there any way around it?
idk the reason but if you are just receiving your custom types
you shouldn't have to worry about other stuff.
3. Is there a recommended way to deal with creating immutable
data ? Right now I just cast to immutable before returning the
data since I know I have the only reference, but it would be
nice to have something like a `UniqueReference` containing a
immutableMove() method...
There is http://dpldocs.info/assumeUnique which does the cast for
you but I don't think it can move at all.
You can also create it in a pure function and write to an
immutable variable when you initialize it.
