;; lib/flow/spec.sx — flow combinators as a Scheme prelude. ;; ;; A flow is a Scheme procedure of one argument: the upstream value. ;; node : input -> output ;; A leaf node ignoring its argument is effectively a thunk. Combinators ;; build composite nodes out of child nodes. The whole flow runs INSIDE the ;; Scheme interpreter so that Phase 3's `suspend` (call/cc) can capture the ;; flow continuation directly. ;; ;; Phase 1 combinators: ;; (flow-node f) — wrap a 1-arg procedure as a node (identity) ;; (flow-id input) — pass the upstream value through unchanged ;; (flow-const v) — node that ignores input and yields v ;; (sequence n ...) — thread input left-to-right through children ;; (parallel n ...) — fan input to every child, join results into a list ;; (SEQUENTIAL evaluation; true concurrency is Phase 3) ;; (defflow name body)— bind a named flow (define flow-combinators-src "(define (flow-node f) f)\n (define (flow-id input) input)\n (define (flow-const v) (lambda (input) v))\n (define (flow-seq-step ns v)\n (if (null? ns) v (flow-seq-step (cdr ns) ((car ns) v))))\n (define sequence (lambda ns (lambda (input) (flow-seq-step ns input))))\n (define parallel (lambda ns (lambda (input) (map (lambda (n) (n input)) ns))))\n (define-syntax defflow\n (syntax-rules ()\n ((defflow nm body) (define nm body))))") (define flow-load-combinators!
