This split is familiar from Temporal.io: workflows are deterministic while activities are idempotent.

That's because Zig offers spatial memory safety (e.g. buffer overflows and index out of bounds), but no temporal memory safety (e.g. use-after-free). I suppose the "and" before "memory safety" is a typo.

... vidual level. That's both aggregate and temporal ranges. Temporal, because children grow up, drunk people sober, impaired people may get better and may have been better in the past. Aggregate, because once you go down to individual level, you invite most horrible crimes ever committed.

Disclaimer: I'm a co-founder of Temporal. Temporal has 3 types of activities: * local: executed in the same process as the orchestrator code.

That's fair, but they are also a great fit for Restate. For example, Replit migrated their whole coding agent from Temporal over to Restate, a pretty big setup.

Asking what temporal is? The founders (Maxim Fateev and Samar Abbas) originally made Amazon Simple Workflow Service (SWF), Azure Durable Task Framework (DTF), and Uber Cadence.

Thank you for all the explanations. I think I have better understanding now. Another question, at what scale (in terms of number of services, and maybe throughput? what other dimensions?) should we start considering using temporal?

... ut, undo changes. To my understanding, Temporal's idea is to factor that part out, the queues and retries, and offsetting actions, so you write the logic and not the workflow orchestration.

Temporal doesn't run your AI compute for you, you bring your own hardware on prem or in your cloud account or whereever. Their SaaS is a control plane to coordinate and orchestrate the workers.

temporal makes you split up your async tasks explicitly into a message (a request to fulfill a task, thrown up to a temporal server), and a task handler (pulling a tasks-request from a queue, from the temporal server), rather than both wrapped in a vanilla request/response cycle. temporal centraliz ...

Good question.

But that 20m year old light is in our past light cone; we can say it is in our past. If it is not in our light cone, we cannot communicate any temporal info so we cannot say if it’s now, past or future in reference to us as observer.

I’ve been building a durable execution framework with roughly the same mechanism. It’s a pretty logical rough edge to try shave off from Temporal-like systems.

No. He's wrong that every memory error is out-of-bounds access (spatial memory safety). There's also use-after-free (temporal memory safety). Arguably type confusion too but that's a grey area.
