jan kili (Jan 26 2022 at 03:46):Resident Rustaceans, do any popular Rust frameworks/engines/toolkits come to mind as "it would be awesome to have a one-to-one Roc wrapper platform for (primarily) this crate"? I wonder if we'll see many Roc platforms that simply Roc-ify a Rust crate's API with minimal changes, as I imagine I'd do for Bevy.
Ayaz Hafiz (Jan 26 2022 at 05:20):a wrapper over an async/parallel IO runtime like https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio would be really useful
Ayaz Hafiz (Jan 26 2022 at 05:23):also a runtime that is entirely virtualized, e.g. all file system operations are on Tmpfs, network operations are in a fresh network namespace, etc. could be very useful for hermetic integration testing
Lucas Rosa (Jan 27 2022 at 22:30):yea it would make the most sense with crates that provide some kind of framework/runtime behavior
Lucas Rosa (Jan 27 2022 at 22:30):wrapping serde wouldn't be very useful lol
Drew Lazzeri (Jan 27 2022 at 22:59):I want to wrap rusqlite, and make some helpers for query building / debugging
Folkert de Vries (Jan 27 2022 at 23:15):that sorta seems doable now
Folkert de Vries (Jan 27 2022 at 23:16):or at least, we could give it a go
Drew Lazzeri (Jan 28 2022 at 15:11):I’m down if anyone wants to pair on it? It would be my first rust platform :) I wasn’t sure whether the rust route or the plain c bindings would be better? I only have experience with the rust ones, but maybe they expose less?
Richard Feldman (Jan 28 2022 at 15:27):either works, so I'd go with whichever you're more comfortable with! (which sounds like Rust in this case)
Drew Lazzeri (Jan 28 2022 at 16:09):I’ll take a stab at this and see how far I get then!
jan kili (Jan 31 2022 at 22:12):Is this the premiere Rust plotting/graphing/charting library? Roc plots would be super fun! https://github.com/38/plotters
Anton (Feb 01 2022 at 09:18):Roc plots would be cool :). Plotters looks really solid, WASM support is also nice.
