I noticed that there is buffered reader for File. Is there also a plan for buffered stdout? I didn't see anything in a quick search of zulip.
I'd be happy to add it to basic_cli if it's straightforward. (But, I also noticed there's some churn around the compiler and platforms. Will basic_cli platform work as-is with the new zig compiler?)
Anton (Nov 29 2025 at 14:32):Hi @walther,

No plan yet for buffered stdout, can you describe the use case for this?
Will basic_cli platform work as-is with the new zig compiler?
No it will require a bunch of changes, I do expect it's mostly updating to the latest roc syntax. If you were to write buffered stdout for the current version there would not be much wasted effort though. The updated basic-cli platform may be done in about ~2-3 months, feel free to choose as you like.
walther (Dec 01 2025 at 11:19):Thanks! I'll take a look at basic_cli then. My (toy) use-case is for a uniq implementation, but I'd expect any cli utility to buffer writes. (and if I do this, I'll probably do file writes also)
