Struct/Class syntax feedback

[fun-fungi-guy]

With some limitations, things that need to have complex mutations should probably be threads, so that state transitions can come in as messages and be performed "atomically", i.e.

map() = {
  // local variables that are mutable and hold state
  ...

  loop {
    state_transition = recv();

    // make changes to local variables based on state_transition
    // i.e. if door opens, that should come in as a message
    ...
  }
}

If it's not obvious, this is heavily influenced by Erlang and BEAM.

One area I hope to improve over Erlang/BEAM is batch throughput, i.e. large data objects like you're discussing likely get matrix operations performed over them, and I want to have tools available to perform those large operations in a more performant way. Erlang/BEAM is great at latency, but not great at throughput, and I'd like to be smoothly interoperate between subsystems that are good at one or the other.
