Promote, Archive or WIP

[meatballs]

This project should only include work which we are currently investigating. For each of the modules, we need to decide whether it's:

• WIP - it's still being worked on and should stay here

• Ready - to be promoted to Anvil Extras

• Archive - We're finished with it and it should move to the (not yet existing) archive repo.

• [x] Atomic

• [ ] Kompot

• [ ] Non Blocking

• [x] Web Worker

• [x] Zod

my opinions:

• Atomic - still WIP - I'd like to play with the internals, I'm mostly waiting on the progress of a javascritpt framework I follow
• Non-blocking - Ready
• Web-Worker - WIP - too experimental for anvil-extras
• Kompot - used by Web-Worker - I'd say archive otherwise
• Zod - feature complete - Ready

But I don't really have production apps - so I can't say that they're production ready or not Or how useful they are to others

any thoughts @hugetim , @jshaffstall ?

Non-blocking is definitely something I'd love to use in production. I haven't played with it as it currently exists, though, so can't say whether it's ready. But I do have specific situations in my production app where it'd be useful, though not critical.

Kompot has the the multi-server call wrapping. I can't say I'd ever use the serialization features of it, but the server call wrapping would be a useful utility. It allows one to design server functions based on each having a single responsibility, but still execute a bunch in a single server interaction, which I think is very important for writing well designed apps.

I love the idea of Atomic, so definitely want to see it continue. It's such a change in structure for apps, though, that I haven't played with it.

I'm a big fan of Kompot, at least in theory. I haven't used it yet but expect that I would use all aspects of it as part of anvil_extras.

So, promote non-blocking and leave atomic, kompot and web worker here as WIP?

[jshaffstall]

Sounds good to me.

Might be worth pulling the server call batching out of Kompot and into a feature of its own.
