# .tlv file generated by https://github.com/akkartik/teliva
# You may edit it if you are careful; however, you may see cryptic errors if you
# violate Teliva's assumptions.
#
# .tlv files are representations of Teliva programs. Teliva programs consist of
# sequences of definitions. Each definition is a table of key/value pairs. Keys
# and values are both strings.
#
# Lines in .tlv files always follow exactly one of the following forms:
# - comment lines at the top of the file starting with '#' at column 0
# - beginnings of definitions starting with '- ' at column 0, followed by a
#   key/value pair
# - key/value pairs consisting of '  ' at column 0, containing either a
#   spaceless value on the same line, or a multi-line value
# - multiline values indented by more than 2 spaces, starting with a '>'
#
# If these constraints are violated, Teliva may unceremoniously crash. Please
# report bugs at http://akkartik.name/contact

    >A demonstration of tasks and channels, the primitives for (cooperative) concurrency in Teliva.
    >
    >We string together a cascade of tasks connected by channels. Every prime number gets a new task that prints the first incoming number, and then filters out multiples of it from the incoming channel.
    >
    >This approach has the advantage that we don't need to create an array of n numbers to compute primes less than n.
    >
    >However, we still need to create p tasks and p channels if there are p primes less than n. Probably not worth it, given tasks and channels are much larger than numbers. This is just a demo.

    >The noticeable periodic pauses are perhaps due to garbage collection.
