big-bang: the world, universe, and network in the programming language
summary
Big-bang is a language construct that turns pure functions into event handlers; Racket’s Universe library powers middle-school animations and text editors with 10-line world programs, students add three lines to network to make them remote, and freshmen build distributed systems by semester end. The group folds a publish/subscribe network into the language (Network Calculus), prototypes include an SSH server and a DNS proxy, and live demos and an echo server show the ideas actually work.
