I think it's a bit unfortunate that everyone is rolling their
own implementations in this community instead of working
together. I would say that it's rare to need direct access to
the messages of the protocol. But perhaps the library can be
better structured in layers/levels, allowing the user to pick
the most suitable level for his/her needs.
I did try (for example
https://github.com/teamhackback/hb-ddb/pull/38, branch with the
buffer:
https://github.com/Boris-Barboris/hb-ddb/commits/buffered_sockets),
up until the point I understood I dislike it so much it would be
easier for me to rewrite it. Amount of possible message
combinations made me write some hack methods like
prepare_and_bind, bind_and_query, bind_and_execute... I kinda
gave up.
It is rare indeed, I would not recommend it to anyone sane, but
abstractions leak, and when they do, they better not have
everything marked private or belong to separate address space.
