Threads should eventually take and produce $cage instead of $vase. Since
%khan is likely to be used by third parties, we write to the eventual
intended API. We ignore the mark on the input $cage (it is safe to
always specify %noun), and we always use %noun as the output mark.
%fyrd now makes more sense. It was previously discarding the type of the
output %arow and re-encoding the raw noun as a vase of the output mark;
it is now performing mark conversion from the mark of the output $cage
to the originally requested output mark.
Also strips out `$` from khan top-level comment.
There are arguments for keeping $crag in lull, and on the other side for
moving $cast to arvo. This seemed like the most reasonable approach.
%fyrd is now implemented in terms of %fard, and likewise %avow in terms
of %arow. State is tracked via wire rather than in a global map.
Unit tests adjusted to match.
These take and produce vases, and assign random tids (rather than
deducing them from the input duct.)
Since %fard does not require mark conversion, we make the mark/beak on
$thread-state optional (and use this to decide whether to send %avow or
%arow.) Provide a state adapter since it's possible that people have
been experimenting with this vane.
This makes the negative case of %avow/%arow kind of clunky, since there
is no content difference, but the following does not seem possible
within the Hoon type system:
=/ gif
?~ p.tad
%arow %avow
[hen %give gif %| p.cag tang]~
Start with |start %desk %app-name
Everywhere in the kernel that we deal with marks, we infer the app it's
connected to and use the marks from that desk.
Also some light renaming in gall, especially path->wire and
current-agent->yoke.
Subsequent tasks:
- Dojo needs a syntax to run generators and threads from other desks
- The home desk should be split into at least a minimal base desk and
big "userspace" desk. Dill's initialization logic should be updated
to handle
- |show-package, |install, and |uninstall should to be written
- Clay should have smarter handling of system versions instead of just
ignoring what's on each desk. It's not clear that this will work
correctly when sys updates right now.
Hoon files may want to import nouns from all files in a given directory.
/~ lets you do so, importing as a (map @ta *) (but with typed values).
Note the description as "directories" here, instead of "path prefix".
The behavior, as implemented, will not include /path/hoon for /~ /path,
instead only including /path/more/hoon and more deeply nested files.
This seems to be, generally, the behavior you want, for example when
importing from /app/myapp/* for /app/myapp/hoon.
Actually using the resulting map requires some manual casting, which is
not ideal. Some code style improvement work remains to be done as well.
