Usage

import { spawn, alive, me } from "sever-membrane"

Spawn a process

// spawn(fn -> 1 + 2 end)
spawn(() => 1 + 2);

Get process id

// pid = spawn(fn -> 1 + 2 end)
const id = spawn(() => 1 + 2);

Use process id

// spawn(fn -> self() == 1 end)
spawn(() => me() === 1);

Check if process is alive

// pid = spawn(fn -> 1 + 2 end)
const id = spawn(() => 1 + 2);

if (alive(id)) {
  // do somenthing...
}

Send message to a process

// pid = spawn(fn -> receive do msg -> IO.puts "Received: #{msg}" end end)
const id id = spawn(() => {
  receive((data) => {
    console.log(me(), "received", data)
  })
})

send(id, "hello")
// send(pid, "hello")
