Here we are - distributed computing in Kind! #1

Closed dumblob closed 2 years ago

dumblob commented 2 years ago

Wow, this did took much less than expected from the conclusions in https://github.com/uwu-tech/Kind/issues/167 :wink:.

But yeah, I understand that this is quite a special case.

This isn't exactly a distributed computation thing. Litereum can be seen as a very slow, but decentralized, interpreter of a low-order subset of Kind featuring only datatypes, global recursive functions and a few Uint64 primitives. It is essentially a minimal, functional Ethereum.

People can upload types and functions to the network, just like people can deploy smart-contracts to Ethereum. Users can interact with uploaded functions by calling them. These functions can alter the global state - which is just a list of types and functions - to emulate DApps. So, for example, a MyCoin function could alter a global MyCoin.Balances : Map<U64> map of user balances to implement a currency. External accounts can be emulated by implementing functions that only you control, based on your favorite signature schemes.

This is just an early WIP, though - you shouldn't be here :)

We plan to make the initial announcement around Oct 31.

Oh, I'll be silent then. Closing :wink:.
