A composable pattern for pure state machines with effects (draft v3)

A composable pattern for pure state machines with effects

State machines are everywhere in interactive systems, but they're rarely defined clearly and explicitly. Given some big blob of code including implicit state machines, which transitions are possible and under what conditions? What effects take place on what transitions?

There are existing design patterns for state machines, but all the patterns I've seen complect side effects with the structure of the state machine itself. Instances of these patterns are difficult to test without mocking, and they end up with more dependencies. Worse, the classic patterns compose poorly: hierarchical state machines are typically not straightforward extensions. The functional programming world has solutions, but they don't transpose neatly enough to be broadly usable in mainstream languages.

Here I present a composable pattern for pure state machiness with effects,

import Foundation
import ReactiveCocoa
//: # Backoff
//: ## Retry with backoff operator
extension SignalProducerType {
func retryWithBackoff<S: SequenceType where S.Generator.Element == NSTimeInterval>(strategy: S) -> SignalProducer<Value, Error> {
var generator = strategy.generate()

Notes from "Protocol-Oriented Programming in Swift"

PS: If you liked this talk or like this concept, let's chat about iOS development at Stitch Fix! #shamelessplug

Protocol-Oriented Programming in Swift

Speaker: David Abrahams. (Tech lead for Swift standard library)

  • "Crusty" is an old-school programmer who doesn't trust IDE's, debuggers, programming fads. He's cynical, grumpy.

  • OOP has been around since the 1970's. It's not actually new.

  • Classes are Awesome

    • Encapsulation
    • Access control
