Non-blocking on ports and file access. - - Easy to use! The =%sync= / =8sync= operator lets you write - asynchronous code that looks simple while avoiding callback hell. - This happens through the magic of [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Prompts.html][delimited continuations]]. - ([[https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Shift-and-Reset.html#Shift-and-Reset][Hence the %]]!) - - Provides building blocks on which you can build other asynchronous - frameworks or paradigms on top of it (some of which will be - included in the future), like: - - an actor model implementation - - the propagator model - - web frameworks - - your very heart's desire! - -* How do I use it? - -Hey, I ought to get some docs up, right? - -* License - -Everything in here is LGPL v3 or later, as published by the Free -Software Foundation, with exceptions below: - - - Some autotools related files are under the GPL v3 or later in the - toplevel directory (their headers will say). I guess if you - compile things using them, maybe this project becomes GPL v3 or - later? I don't think so because the build tools themselves aren't - linked, but I can't be sure. If you really care, consider this - whole project GPL v3 or later optionally... anyway a - COPYING-gplv3.txt is included for these reasons.
