As for size, I was just saying the size of the dependencies you add (from the list you mentioned) will begin to add up. Like I know the size of libcurl, and while not big, it may have dependencies on OpenSSL because everything expects https today (which is kind of big). And you have others listed. And any language bindings also increase the size. libiup will have a fixed upper bound size, even when compiled to JavaScript (say ~3MB). It is actually not hard to pull in enough dependencies to exceed that. Finally, you will have to write the client-side communication piece that is able to talk back and forth with the server. I don't know what is in your mind for the client/server protocol, but anything you write for the client will be in JavaScript, and we know just by looking at the web world around us, that always bloats quickly. > Your comments don't apply to the Script BASIC environment. Yes, I don't know anything about Script BASIC. But that is also kind of at the heart of why I think I was confused about your idea and you said Antonio dismissed your emphasis on what now sounds like a server protocol API design. What you are proposing sounds like a library for Script BASIC, not something that goes in IUP directly.
