Thanks for joining our Discord and asking the question there as well! I'll reply here as well for the HN community.
People have often tried to use Temporal to solve similar problems. We think Dispatch is a very different solution because we don’t require you to architect your system in terms of a rigid framework of activities and workflows... You just write regular code with simple functions, enabling incremental adoption into existing applications and making the code easy to test.
A friend of mine once described Dispatch as "Temporal without the galaxy brain", it's a pretty good way of phrasing it in my opinion :)
Interesting, if anyone can reproduce the problem on Chrome+Apple Silicon, I would appreciate if you open an issue and include the browser console output on https://github.com/pac-dev/AmbientGarden
Sorry for the late reply! I'd probably have to dig pretty deep into my browser history, but we did some searching around, and largely looked for some benchmark papers to get an overview and from there could easily branch out to different implementations (from the citations).
Generally pretty good way to approach research papers in a new field I recall being taught, there's always some sort of "landscape overview" paper being published that can help distill down the SoTA and you can just follow the references.
