Martin Atkins	a9f3ad5a68	promising: A new utility for concurrent, inter-dependent data lookups ... For the main Terraform language runtime we've traditionally used an explicit directed acyclic graph to manage the order of execution, which is effective and proven but leads to an unfortunate inversion-of-control programming style both for graph construction and graph walking that can be difficult to read and debug. For the stacks language runtime we're going to use a slightly different approach of writing some relatively normal-looking functions that each appear to be normal straight-through code but internally are running as collaborating goroutines. This should make the control flow and data flow somewhat clearer. An important building block for this is a way for these different functions to asynchronously provide data to one another without the risk of deadlock. This new package "promising" provides that by modeling a bipartite graph of tasks and promises, where each promise has a single task responsible for resolving it and each task has zero or one promises it's waiting for. If any task attempts a wait that would introduce a cycle into the graph then the get operation immediately fails to avoid a deadlock.	3 years ago
