So, dear fellow POEvangelists, I am now on the hunt for possible
things that
can be hacked on.
I may be the only one interested in this, but I'd love to see
something that gives POE a simple paradigm for message passing and
dispatching between sessions, similar to Uri Guttman's Stem framework.
I'm not terribly familiar with Stem myself, but from what I've
gleaned, one of its big features is you can very easily create a
session (a "cell" in Stem lingo) that accepts an incoming message by
declaring within that session a sub named with a certain convention.
Stem has some underlying registration and dispatching so that you can
plug cells together into an application and set up the message
mapping between them. It's a very slick convention, very much in the
style of Catalyst's controller actions.
Again, I'm far from an expert on Stem, so someone else may need to
clarify (or dismiss) what I'm talking about here, but I just can't
help but think about the value of having Stem's message passing
concept combined with all of POE's capabilities and library of
components, wheels, etc.
