Connectionless #696

Closed emil14 closed 2 months ago

emil14 commented 2 months ago

Fixes #695 and #689
New runtime design
- No connections, only function calls
- No native fan-in or fan-out, special function is used for that now
- Fan-in and Fan-out are implicitly supported by desugarer in compiler
- Graph reduction is enabled by default and cannot be disabled, program contains no intermediate connections
- Since any connection is a pipeline between two runtime functions, each channel represents sender-receiver pair (branch is called connectionless, but connections are actually represented by go channels, there's just no special abstraction for that anymore)
- Massive refactor everywhere (except stdlib), especially in runtime's function IO API

each channel represents sender-receiver pair

basically this is the fix. ofc for doing that we had to get rid of fan-in/out so we moved that part from runtime to desugarer (and ofc added respectful components)
