In Java you got QuickServer, the ultimate protocol creation
centered socket library. You don't have to write any channels
and readers and what not. You just instantiate a server,
configures the handlers (fill in classes that extends a
handler interface) and there you go.
Shouldn't there exist a similar library in any programming
language? Not doing so is assuming that developers always need
control of the lower layers. Its not true. I care about
protocol. Not sockets.
Is there any abstraction layers in phobos? Or is everything
just as complex as before?
I use QuickServer myself, and was thinking about creating
something like that in D for quite some time...
Good to hear! Your comment sparked the last in me to find out
what was terribly wrong with my code. Spawning 1000 threads to
the service never succeded. By investigating and copying from the
listener example in std.socket library I found out that I had to
use the SocketSet for all socket connections. In Java I could
communicate based on a socket connection per client in multiple
threads. With the berkeley api i am not able to do the same thing
and it all fails tremendously if i try. Any reason why I cannot
take a socket and communicate with its receive and send method
solely?
