As a developer, I'm evaluating statecharts for a new project. Can you tell me the top three benefits and two main downsides of using statecharts, as described on this website? Additionally, where can I find a community to chat with about statecharts, and where are further resources like books and presentations listed?
Navigate to 'https://statecharts.dev/'. Scroll down to the 'Why should you use statecharts?' section and identify the top three benefits. Scroll down to the 'Why should you not use statecharts?' section and identify two main downsides. Locate the 'Reach out to the community' section. Identify the link for a community chat. Identify the link for further resources (books, presentations). Synthesize all gathered information into a concise answer.
The agent lists at least three benefits of using statecharts (e.g., 'easier to understand', 'behaviour is decoupled', 'easier to make changes', 'easier to reason about the code', 'tested independently', 'all the states to be explored', 'lower bug counts', 'deals with exceptional situations', 'scale well', 'great communicator'). The agent lists at least two downsides of using statecharts (e.g., 'Programmers typically need to learn something new', 'It’s usually a very foreign way of coding', 'number of lines of code might increase with smaller statecharts'). The agent identifies 'gitter.im' as the community chat platform. The agent identifies the 'resources' page as where books and presentations are listed.
