Alpha Spec

Spec of first prototype of the language, editor and platform.

Code Tree

const codeTree = Map()

const blockID = nanoid()

codeTree.set(blockID, {
  type: "expression", // expression | statement
  kind: "binary expression",
  refs: {
    left: "id1",
    right: "id2",
  },
})

Storage

All data is stored in 3 JSON blobs and synced to the cloud:

  • Code Tree map (JSON KV) - necessary for reads - Priority 0
  • Child / parent map (JSON KV) - necessary for writes - Priority 1
  • Full-text search index (MiniSearch) - necessary for search - Priority 2

They are loaded locally on startup and changes are sent to the cloud one by one.
