[Metalab] pipes, pipes, pipes, pipes, pipes, ...

[Christopher Clay / c3o]

Das Ding ist leider viel zu komplex und abstrakt um bedienbar zu
sein.. das haben sich Architecture Astronauts ausgedacht:

"When great thinkers think about problems, they start to see patterns.
They look at the problem of people sending each other word-processor
files, and then they look at the problem of people sending each other
spreadsheets, and they realize that there's a general pattern: sending
files. That's one level of abstraction already. Then they go up one
more level: people send files, but web browsers also "send" requests
for web pages. And when you think about it, calling a method on an
object is like sending a message to an object! It's the same thing
again! Those are all sending operations, so our clever thinker invents
a new, higher, broader abstraction called messaging, but now it's
getting really vague and nobody really knows what they're talking
about any more. Blah."

Ähnlich generisch/"damit-kann-man-ALLES-machen!1" ist auch Dapper:

Die Idee hat sehr viel Potential... glaub ich.

Trotzdem hab ich persönlich noch nicht geschafft, mit Pipes oder
Dapper was sinnvolles zu machen. Falls jemand Lust hat da mal länger
rumzuprobieren, können wir das ja dieses WE kollaborativ im Lab
versuchen.
