Perpetual
Perpetual is a simple abstraction around repeatedly iterating state in Elixir.
It is similar to Elixir's Agent
module in that it can share or store state
that must be accessed from different processes or by the same process at
different points in time, and in addition to that, Perpetual
lets you
define a function for repeatedly updating the stored state for as long as the
process is kept running.
Status
This is an early work in progress, and should be considered experimental, incomplete, and unstable until v1.0.0, following Semantic Versioning.
All notable changes will be recorded in the changelog.
