How would you chat with a server? This is my naive attempt:
class Client {
Socket socket;
Token fetch() {
ubyte[1024] buffer; // if more space is needed...
socket.receive(buffer);
return decode(buffer);
}
void send(Token tkn) {
ubyte[] buffer = encode(tkn);
socket.send(buffer);
}
}
It can send and fetch data (encoded tokens) to/from server. But frequently
I see network clients using a connection pool or an event loop. I descarted
event loops because they looks hard to implement (and libev docs don't let
me anywhere).
Do you can guide me on this trouble?
