Remote.Closure
Description
A simple type to represent a closure, that is, a function and its environment. The current implementation represents functions as strings, but this could be theoretically swapped out for the "static" mechanism described in the paper.
Documentation
A data type representing a closure, that is, a function with its environment. In spirit, this is actually:
data Closure a where
Closure :: Serializable v => Static (v -> a) -> v -> Closure a
where the Static type wraps a function with no non-static free variables. We simulate this behavior by identifying top-level functions as strings. See the paper for clarification.
