In trying to convince others that *global mutable state* is a bad idea, I realize I don't have any hard evidence - just abstract reasons. At the very least, I'd like an illustrative code example I could point to. Any suggestions?

Would it be accurate to say Realtalk's database is closer in nature to Linda's tuplespace?

Thanks for the clarifications! Does the query model ("when /a/ is a frog") permit use of knowledge about the claimer ("when /b/ is on same table as /a/, /b/ is claiming /a/ is a frog")? Seems important in distinguishing knowledge sources.

More generally, I would love see a systematic breakdown of the "Realtalk ontology" and the different kinds of knowledge/queries you can have. When I've been to DL my learning is always ad hoc from examples, but a more formal system description would be super useful.

So claims are like variables in FRP (or observables in Knockout.js) but are bound to a thread/process/real object and only the owner can change them. Wishes are more like message passing and are parsed/resolved by the process/object they are directed at. Am I getting this right?

This seems to have some similarities to the PhD research of
@leastfixedpoint which I’ve found recently (I am still reading it).
