Re: Asynchronous event loop brainstorm at FSF 30

Yes. I'm sure both you and Mark can judge this better than can, currently. I just didn't think Guile was that thread-unsafe. I imagined you would have to use mutexes around some I/O and common datastructures, and that that would be about it, but I'm probably wrong... Best regards, Mikael On

Héllo, Please excuse my layman question in advance. I find the idea awesome to work on asynchronous framework for Guile. Le 2015-10-04 00:29, Christopher Allan Webber a écrit : So David Thompson, Mark Weaver, Andrew Engelbrecht and I sat down to talk over how we might go about an asynchronous

Hi Christopher! I'm one of guys who's interested in this topic, say, async IO in Guile. On Sat, 2015-10-03 at 17:29 -0500, Christopher Allan Webber wrote: > - This would be like asyncio or node.js, asynchronous but *not* OS >thread based (it's too much work to make much of Guile fit around >

Asynchronous event loop brainstorm at FSF 30

So David Thompson, Mark Weaver, Andrew Engelbrecht and I sat down to talk over how we might go about an asynchronous event loop in Guile that might be fairly extensible. Here are some of what we discussed, in bullet points: - General idea is to do something coroutine based. - This would be
