Serverless Agent?

Hi everyone,

I recently decided to take the jump and use witchcraft in one of my elixir project.

What made me decide this, is that I had a usual Elixir Agent managing some state.
But there are other processes around, and it can become easy to lose track of messages being passed around. Also I don’t really need the runtime characteristic of an extra process, I just want to keep some state between function calls.

So here I am, trying to understand how to use Algae.State — Algae v1.3.0
I am practicing by attempting to implement these examples : State Monad - HaskellWiki 1 but I didn’t get any success just yet.

If anyone manages to do that, please share your solutions :slight_smile:
Cheers !

PS: I am also guessing a “process-less agent” could be a good entrypoint to witchcraft for elixir devs, so maybe there could be a good place to post such “State Monad as Agent” example code…
