I've noticed a recent up-tick in activity around JavaSpaces, Sun's java-implementation of tuple-spaces.
Why isn't there at least comparable activity around a python-based implementation of tuple-spaces, or at least a python-api to a non-python implementation? With tuples being first-class citizens in python, it seems like a natural fit. Wouldn't tuple-space geeks be all over python?
The only python-related effort that I am aware of is PyBrenda, but it seems pretty stale (and now the link appears dead).
I had a chance a few years ago to experiment with tuple-spaces a bit when Rogue Wave made available an alpha of a new project of theirs, Ruple - a tuple-space for xml-documents. But they subsequently cancelled the project - lack of market traction?
For anyone unfamiliar with tuple-spaces but interested in exploring them, here is a good intro. Also be sure to check out David Gelernter's Linda, the prototypical tuple-space, as well as the CoverPages. |
