The current target for std::uv are a set of low-level libuv bindings,
closely mimicking the C API. Why exactly do they need to be low-level? A
large majority of the std modules are already high level, it feels kind of
odd to have a low level module in there. Wouldn't it be nicer (and just as
powerful) to have it set out like below with interfaces:
fn callback(handle: timer, status: int) {
io::println("Done!");
}
fn main() {
let loop = uv::mk_loop();
let timer = uv::mk_timer(loop);
timer.start(callback, 5000, 0);
loop.run();
}
vs. (based off the current state of uv.rs)
crust fn callback(handle: ctypes::intptr_t, status: ctypes::c_int) {
io::println("Done!");
}
fn main() {
let loop = uv::loop_new();
let timer = uv::timer_new();
uv::timer_init(ptr::addr_of(loop), ptr::addr_of(timer));
uv::timer_start(ptr::addr_of(timer), ptr::addr_of(callback), 5000, 0);
uv::run(loop);
uv::loop_destroy(loop);
}
So what exactly do we need low level bindings of libuv for?
