Choreographic programming in Elixir

Has anyone done any choreographic programming with Elixir? The idea is that, instead of writing parts of a concurrent system separately and hoping that you’ve gotten the interactions between clients and server right, you instead write a choreography from some global viewpoint; a compiler of some sort then takes this choreography and constructs projections for each participant in the system.

A recent paper implemented an IRC client/server with choreographies: Real-World Choreographic Programming: Full-Duplex Asynchrony and Interoperability

Has anyone been working on something similar in Elixir?

Highly doubt it, such concepts that involve a paradigm shift need to be extremely good for anyone to take them seriously. I can see how languages like Java could greatly benefit from it, however in Elixir I doubt this improves anything over existing way to write code.

yeah, i would say “we” do. it feels to me like actor model kind of stuff, sooner or later enters territory of orchestration or choreography.

i guess it comes with sufficient scale/complexity of the system.

OK, so it sounds like you’re saying that you (@fmn and @D4no0) feel like choreographies are a common paradigm in Elixir code (I agree based on my experience) but that no one is doing mechanical endpoint projection. That’s good! That means I’ve got some work to do. :slight_smile:

That’s very neat—it’s in an entirely different realm however. Good luck building it!
