ABSTRACT
Transactions are a mainstay of modern database theory, economics, and concurrency control. At the core of transactions is the notion of an atomic, or indivisible unit -- a transaction is either wholly applied, or not. Typically, however, transactions don't compose in our programming languages. We can run two transactions back-to-back, but we can't combine two transactions into one. Sadly, this limits just how reusable a transaction is.
