Hi people! Thanks, Mike, for the link to article about Hook.io. I had only minimal reference about its functionality (I came late to the party ;-).
I prefer the term "message" instead of "event". "Event", IMO, in the Node.js is more related to EventEmitter and related stuff. "Message" (local and distributed message) is a more flexible and clear concept, I guess. A Message can be distributed, enrouted, enriched, transformed, enqueue, persisted, etc... I like Federation, by Jacob (I have my own pet project, with distributed actors and messages, SimpleActors). But I feel the actor model is different of a bus (haha... yes, I have SimpleBus, but it's only an idea yet; I've reimplemented some ideas from @asehmi, and there is AjFabriqNode, a distributed application fwk based on messages, but I should refactor it to better internal structure; yes, @asehmi had ideas for "self-healing", but I don't sure if it is aligned with your meaning). So, Mike, can you elaborate your use case? It's not clear to me the relation of point a) with your work, for example, at b) Very interesting topic, BTW. And, what you expect as "self-healing" in your use case? Angel "Java" Lopez @ajlopez gh:ajlopez On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 1:28 AM, MikeB_2012 <[email protected]> wrote: > Good replies (incl. amino).
