3.3.1: Experimental Directory

Summary: The experimental/ directory serves as a sandbox for developers to experiment with new technologies and ideas without affecting the main codebase. The current contents demonstrate experimentation with Go and the Temporal workflow engine.

Details:

  • Purpose: To provide an isolated environment for developers to prototype and test new tools, libraries, and architectural patterns.
  • Current Contents:
    • acmcarther/helloworld.go: A simple “Hello, World!” program in Go, used for basic build and execution testing.
    • acmcarther/temporal/: A “Hello, World!” example for the Temporal workflow engine, demonstrating how to define and run a simple workflow with a starter and a worker.
  • Build System: The projects within this directory are built using Bazel, as defined by the BUILD files.
