Syndicate Wishlist

Syndicate projects I want to exist but am not actively working on atm.

• Facet dataflow blocks in syndicate-rs

  • Similar to .on_asserted_facet() but for dataflow blocks, basically wraps the dataflow block in it’s own facet and destroys the previous version of the facet each run of the dataflow block.
  • this is mostly because I am lazy and don’t want to manually retract assertions or handle updating assertions for complicated setups where I’m asserting/retracting many draw commands.
  • this could probably be implemented as a dataflow!() proc macro.

• Iroh Tools

  • building block for cow-feds using iroh for all the networking and maybe sync?
  • I am still confused between what Iroh is doing for sync vs Willow (there’s also iroh-willow?? and a separate willow-rs?????)

• UXN Actor

  • wraps the uxn SDL2 emulator and provides a syndicate protocol to interact with the emulator and it’s actively running rom.
  • Could also maybe be a fun experiment in externalizing a VM’s state using assertions.

• GPGPU Actor

  • I want to assert live-editable pipelines & shaders for arbitrary GPU compute! Idk why I would use it but it sounds fun. WGPU gives us a nice inroad but unfortunately is much more limited in GPGPU capabilities compared to raw Vulkan. Some previous work here: https://github.com/calebwin/emu

• Syndicate-native Wayland compositor

  • spawn windows via assertions and integrates nicely with klee.
  • the Verdi compositor project might make this easy as it will provide tokio-compatible primitives for writing compositors. Unfortunately it is still a WIP.

• Syndicate-embassy

  • library built on top of embassy that provides dataspace federation and a no-std syndicate implementation so that we can write syndicate actors targeting ESP32’s.
