kloenk | what is the current state of rust in lix? I see/know there is lix-doc. but is that something that wants to get removed (saw the consumer saying some TODO that I did not fully understand).
end question would be is it acceptable to write other features in rust or should as much as possible still be C++? | 22:34:37 |
K900 | The problem with writing features in Rust is mostly that there's no bindings to the C++ bits | 22:37:47 |
K900 | And the C++ bits are increasingly relying on coroutines via kj which basically don't FFI | 22:38:23 |
K900 | So you could write things in Rust, but those things need to either expose a sync C API surface or communicate over some sort of currently-not-existent RPC mechanism | 22:39:34 |
kloenk | raito nerdsniped me to write a new log format (like the multiline I did years ago). Kinda don't have the time for that, but wonderd if I can just forward all the data to rust and do the actuall handling of all the printing in rust | 22:42:47 |
K900 | Will have to build some sort of RPC layer for this | 22:44:29 |
