2 years ago To sub-stream
It's not clear how (and is it even possible) to translate sub-streams to array-ports, but it's possible vice versa
Array-port to sub-stream
Send 'opened bracket' message to sub-stream when first slot gets message and then send that message itself. When last slot gets message send that message and then send 'closed bracket' message.
Nesting
There are nested sub-streams in FBP but no nested array-ports. Possible solutions:
- no nested sub-streams at all (no need for 2 types of brackets btw)
- no nested sub-streams in arrport-adapters
- nested sub-streams in this adapted via... array-port that work with substreams? (<== A THING!)
Batch-based structures to sub-streams
It's not as bad as it may seem to call them "batch-based" structures. Lists, structs and dicts are also may be translated to sub-streams.
TODO think about list/dict/struct to substream adapter
Is it possible to have an "adapter" that is able to transform e.g. sub-stream to array-ports or batch-structures?
