Aqua (Programming Language)
Aqua is a programming language designed for distributed workflow coordination in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.

It is powered by Fluence (protocol) a WebAssembly (Wasm)-based protocol and framework for building applications for both the open internet and private cloud environments. Aqua enables developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) free from reliance on proprietary cloud platforms, centralized APIs, and untrustworthy third-party services. The Fluence stack, including Aqua, is open source and maintained by a community of developers.

Overview
At its core, Aqua facilitates the programming of peer-to-peer scenarios independently of the computations on individual peers. Applications written in Aqua are transformed into hostless workflows through distributed function calls, allowing for various degrees of decentralization. This ranges from scenarios where a limited set of servers handle the processing to fully decentralized architectures where user devices connect directly.

Compilation
Aqua code can be compiled using the `@fluencelabs/cli` toolchain, which generates Aqua Intermediary Representation (AIR) along with an Aqua Virtual Machine (VM). The Aqua VM is an integral component of every Fluence node implementation and is responsible for executing AIR code.

Aquamarine
Aquamarine represents the full decentralized computation stack within the Fluence ecosystem. It enables communication between marine peers (implemented in Rust) and JavaScript-run peers. Aquamarine supports various combinations of marine-to-marine and JavaScript-to-JavaScript interactions.

Usage
Aqua offers several key features for developers:

Types
Aqua supports data types for transporting information across network particles. These types can be crafted to yield JSON output in JavaScript.

Example:

For more on types, visit the Aqua documentation

Arrow Types
Variables in Aqua can be assigned using arrow types, denoted as.

Closures
Aqua supports the composition and passing of functions between one another.

Service Definition
Developers can define services in Aqua, consisting of string IDs and function signatures.

Example:

Relaying
Aqua facilitates particle routing using the  variable type and subsequent   calls, enabling peer-to-peer hop routing.

Example:

Parallelization
With the  keyword, Aqua enables parallel execution of functions or networked calls.

Example:

Abilities
Similar to traits in other languages, Aqua allows the definition and invocation of functions using abilities, extending the functionality of types.

Example:

Implementation and Environment
Aqua can be executed in various environments, including JavaScript, Go (via CLI), and cURL. The language is designed to address network difficulties, ranging from simple test networks to more complex decentralized setups.

Applications
Aqua finds application in a wide range of scenarios, including:


 * PvP matchmaking
 * Tor onion packet routing via Bitcoin ECIES
 * Load balancing
 * User origin allowance
 * USB file system tunneling
 * Networked secret key splitting
 * Naming services
 * Spacetime randomness via network TTL
 * Independent website publishing

Conclusion
"It can be done, it's possible"
