[Haskell-cafe] Announcement - HGamer3D - 0.2.1 - why netwire

[Peter Althainz]

Hi Heinrich:

Its simply the types are more cumbersome, now. In netwire you basically 
have one type, which is "Wire ...." with some type parameters 
(underlying monad, inhibition type, in-type, out-type), When underlying 
monad and inhibition type is choosen, you can define a type synonym and 
all boils done to "GameWire a b" in all types, events (GameWire a a), 
behaviours (GameWire a b), what you want. Signal inhibition makes Events 
and Behviours looks equal. Also the overall network has this type. And 
by the way, no generalized datatypes (forall t. ....), which I'm also 
not too comfortable with.

In reactive banana we have considerably more types then in netwire:

- One tpye for Behaviours

- One type for Events

- sinks in addition: sinkoutput[text:==showNumber<$>result]- what is 
that? (I know it has something to do with feedback loops)

- scary type for the network description: "forallt.Frameworkst=>Momentt()"
