Hey all. I've been flip-floppin' on my BBS since I took it down earlier
this year, trying out different ones (including DOS and OS/2) as well as
WWIV -- which is awesome.

But I've come back to Talisman. It's just so extensible and unique.
Bummed that Apam departed the scene, but glad to see the repo being
managed in his absence. Hoping we get some idea of what new features are
in the roadmap, or if it's more of less just bug fixes?

Anyway, if you want to check out my Talisman board it's here. Contains
some custom lua things I created for R3TR0/X (I hated that name) and I'm
just getting started (be gentle) :> Cheers!

in the roadmap, or if it's more of less just bug fixes?

Welcome back! I'm currently working on bug fixes and I haven't defined a roadmap just yet. I'm hoping that a number of others will help join in
the coding effort so that we can make releases, bug squashing and new
features possible.

This isn't a me project but rather a community effort. If you want to
join in, let me know.

I'd love to help in any way I can! Not a C++ dev per se, more Go and
scripting laguages. I do a fair bit of Lua these days.

Oh, just friendly reminder about Merge Request #2. :)

Perhaps you could throw some ideas about what you'd like to see in Lua scripting.

I've already looked into adding a Lua bbs_user_disconnect() but that's a
long hunt into Node.cpp's Node::disconnected() which I'm not sure if it's accessable. (Will TIAS a little later today)

(Jeez, my C++ is a little rusty ...pardon the pun...)

Anyhow (ugh, another pun)

Take Care,

Yup... in Node.h it's under public, so I should be able to add a ability
to disconnect the user from Lua script.

(So possibly another Merge Request later)

The ability to have a timeout for a key press in Lue is an awesome idea
and change as it has multiple uses for the future. Thank you for your contribution.

I have merged this in and it's now available for Linux users to download
and compile. I will work on a Windows release that incorporates this new feature in the very near future.

Yeah, me too! Somehow Go just stuck with me.

I like how it's powerful with goroutines (basically super light
threads)... Just don't try and do raytracing. :S

Oh, and Go's channels are neat to use too.

Latest craze for me is Rust.

Anyway...

Take Care,
Apollo

Because that's CPU-bound, not IO-bound. go routines work great with
async IO-bound work.

If you don't mind everything sent being "garbage" to be collected.

Managing memory in go is... quite a challenge.
At least the benchmarks work well to help find what's leaking.

Take care...


... Yeah! I'm a golang gopher again!

Or is it that you're rust is more like unsafe C++ :P

Anyhow (ugh, another pun)

Only for apps. Libraries should use thiserror.

Oddly, throwing Anyhow away fixed all my async + Send issues.

Using the default Box<dyn Error> ... worked just fine.

I'm not sure why the code was being so cranky for me. And maybe I'll write a really long line instead of lots and lots of single lines that are double spaced. I just might do that, because I can. And it'll show I can actually type out long sentences. Still not sure if I can say anything meaningful in those long sentences, but I'll TIAS! (Try It And See!)

Take care, and always check for traps.
