*Generative Communciation in Linda* Linda is a less well-known approach to concurrency, based on the idea of “tuple spaces”; essentially a “blackboard” where concurrent processes can post and consume messages. You can think of it as a specialization of the pub-sub pattern. The use of a “tuple space” gives Linda some interesting properties compared to other communication techniques; messages can be published independent of consumers, and, unlike RPC producers and consumers do not need to be online at the same time. Also, Linda is language agnostic, meaning you could implement producers and consumers in different languages. This post by Andrew Coyler has a summary of the paper Generative Communication in Linda; it’s an interesting read! https://lnkd.in/djVa2Hxj
