I've been looking pretty extensively at these two items recently.
If the database drivers are compatible with Vibe.d AND we wish to
provide a common abstraction layer for them (presumably via Phobos) then
order for the abstraction layer to aware of the whether the driver is
making a blocking or non-blocking call we must include Vibe.D in the
abstraction layer. Ergo, we must include at least the vibe-core package
in Phobos, or more preferably, DRT.
It can be an optional dependency. Looking at ddb [1] it's not that much
code that will be different if vibe.d is used or not. It's basically
only reading and writing to the socket that is different [2]. Dub
provides predefined version for different dependencies, i.e.
Have_vibe_d_core.
I had heard noises about that a few months ago. Anything happening on
that front?
No, not as far as I know. Sönke seems really busy recently.
What would the appetite be for working together to come up with a
reasonably generic event loop for DRT that vibe and other systems could
then leverage?
I would be really nice to database support directly in the standard
library but it's not critical for me. It takes a lot of work with and
massive overhead to get something into Phobos. It's also going to be
really slow get in updates. I'm not sure if it's worth it.
