Tubes implements this in a type-agnostic way, +meaning that a set of rules for controlling the flow of data can +control that flow regardless of the type of that data, from raw +streams of bytes to application-specific messages and back again. + +Composable data processing refers to processing that can occur in +independent units. For example, the conversion of a continuous +stream of bytes into a discrete sequence of messages can be implemented +independently from the presentation of or reactions to those messages. +This allows for similar messages to be relayed in different formats +and by different protocols, but be processed by the same code. |
