# Aquamarine
|
|
|
|
- composability medium
|
|
- allows developers to express network choreography in a script
|
|
- moves script & data from peer to peer in a single-use logical network with checking merkle proofs and signatures.

## Fluence stack
|
|
|
|
Fluence [nodes](https://github.com/fluencelabs/fluence) use aquamarine to coordinate requests between different services run by [FCE](https://github.com/fluencelabs/fce):

## Aquamarine Intermediate Representation
|
|
|
|
### AIR: What is it?
|
|
|
|
- S-expression-based low-level language
|
|
- Controls Fluence network and its peers
|
|
- Inspired by WAT (WebAssembly Text Format)
|
|
- Meant to be a compile target
|
|
- Development meant to happen in a higher-level language
|
|
- Syntax is in flux, will change
|
|
|
|
Scripts written in AIR look like this:
|
|
|
|
<img alt="fold example" src="images/fold_example.png" width="100%"/>
|
|
|
|
1. Gather chat members by calling chat.members
|
|
2. Iterate through elements in members array, m = element
|
|
3. Each m is an object, represented as array; [0] is the first field
|
|
4. `(next m)` triggers next iteration
|
|
|
|
### AIR: Instructions
|
|
#### call: execution
|
|
<img alt="call structure" src="images/call_data.png" width="670"/>
|
|
|
|
- `call` commands the execution
|
|
- moves execution to a peer, specified by `location`
|
|
- peer is expected to have specified WASM `service`
|
|
- the `service` must have specified `function` available to be called
|
|
- `argument list` is given to the `function`
|
|
- result of the `function` is saved and available under `output name`
|
|
- example call could be thought of as `data.result = dht.put(key, value)`
|
|
|
|
#### seq: sequential
|
|
<img alt="seq structure" src="images/seq.png" width="586"/>
|
|
|
|
- `seq` takes two instructions
|
|
- executes them sequentially
|
|
|
|
#### par: parallel
|
|
<img alt="par structure" src="images/par.png" width="536"/>
|
|
|
|
- `par` takes two instructions
|
|
- executes them in parallel
|
|
|
|
#### fold: iteration
|
|
<img alt="fold structure" src="images/fold.png" width="536"/>
|
|
|
|
- `fold` takes an array, a variable and an instruction
|
|
- iterates through the array, assigning each element to the variable
|
|
- on each iteration instruction is executed
|
|
- instruction can read the variable
|
|
- `next` triggers next iteration
|
|
|
|
#### xor: branching & error handling
|
|
<img alt="xor structure" src="images/xor.png" width="577"/>
|
|
|
|
- `xor` takes two instructions
|
|
- iff first instruction fails, second one is executed
|
|
|
|
#### null
|
|
<img alt="null structure" src="images/null.png" width="577"/>
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `null` takes no arguments
|
|
- does nothing, useful for code generation
|
