st-core concepts example #129

Open nikhan opened 8 years ago

nikhan commented 8 years ago

A rather intense document that should cover how the following works, and how the following can work together:

routes/connections
blocking
pressure
splitting / joining messages / reasoning about streams
how a block chooses which message to process with multiple inputs, what does it mean to have multiple inputs/outputs
how we consider cycles, what are cycles for, etc
sources/links
state (in stream vs in memory)
groups
data type (bool, string, etc)
resetting

unsure if it should be in another issue, but the API should be documented as well as the UI, like how to navigate between groups, copy/paste, import/export, creating/destroying elements, etc.

explanation of how state is shared for stores, including an explanation (current lack/future support) of atomic operations.
