Mathematical notation and dataflow programming Even though computations done on computers are very often based on some type of math, it is striking that the notation used in math to express equations and relations is not always very readily converted into programming code. …
Some time ago I got a post published on GopherAcademy , outlining in detail how I think a flow-based programming inspired syntax can strongly help to create clearer, easier-to-maintain, and more declarative Go programs. These ideas have since became clearer, and we (Ola Spjuth …
Often when I suggest people have a look at Flow-based Programming (FBP) or Data Flow for one reason or another, people are often put off by the strong connection between these concepts and graphical programming. That is, the idea that programs will be easier to understand if …
Upsurge in workflow tools There seem to be a little upsurge in light-weight - often python-based - workflow tools for data pipelines in the last couple of years: Spotify’s Luigi , OpenStack’s Mistral , Pinterest’s Pinball , and recently AirBnb’s Airflow , …
I realize I didn’t have a link to my blog on Gopher Academy , on patterns for compoasable concurrent pipelines in Go(lang), so here it goes: blog.gopheracademy.com/composable-pipelines-pattern
