Traditional sync engines make sure everyone sees the same state, Ablo does that too but the difference is that Ablo also governs who gets to act on it. Would love feedback from anyβ¦

Abstract: Many modern programming languages include some form of asynchronous programming. In particular, a growing number now have what we call straight-line asynchrony: attempts to provide asynchronous functions that look similar to synchronous functions, thereby enabling asynchrony without introducing complex control.

Yet, a close examination reveals that these languages are quite different along several dimensions, often subtly. These differences have reaβ¦
