SYNTAX SKETCHES
---------------

basically, there are 2 kinds of cells (data sources):

1) static cell - <scalar> / <array>
2) dynamic (time-bound) cell - sequence of events made avaiable over time

data types and static cells:

A[4] := 1
C[8] := [47, 32, 54]
D[1] := 'string'
D[2] := null

dynamic (time-bound) cells:

T[1] := periodic(3, 4)
I[5] := iterate(x => delay(x + 1), {C[8][2]}, x) ->
        take({C[8][0]})

that uses specific transport:

A[1] := sse('url')
B[1] := xhr('url', {I[5]})
C[1] := websocket('url', interval)

or default transport:

X[3] := listen('url') | <rql | whatever>
                      ^   ^       ^
                      |   |       |
                      ----^-------^- filter

expressions with references:

B[2] := {A[1]} * {B[1]} * 2

(which may result in error)

expressions can be defined within a text file
using simple DSL, which makes diffs possible
