First project in Gleam. I am still not that familar with Gleam and Erlang so there might be some bugs in this library. If there is any, please let me know!
Currently, this library only support reading events but I will work on other terminal-related things such as color later!

Forgot to mention that this currently only works in Erlang... I will try to add Javascript implementation later
buoyant bison
so does this mean you need a rust compiler to use the package?
pale bane
I guess not. The .so file is uploaded to Hex and so I guess rust compiler is not required
I am not familar with Hex so I'm not sure
Oh, there might be another problem I need to solve
the .so file cannot be used in all computer... I completely forgot this one

yeah, you'll need rebar to build the shared library on install
i'm not sure whether rebar is actually supported for building gleam, or if it's only for dependencies...
buoyant bison
gleam has its own build tool, you need rebar for erlang deps (and mix for elixir)
but the gleam build tool wont know anything about compiling native code

not sure if it's relevant
quick hedge
maybe with a rebar.config like this:
{pre_hooks,
[
{"(linux|solaris|freebsd|openbsd)", compile, "bash -c 'mkdir -p priv; cd germinal_rs; cargo build --release; cp target/release/libgerminal_rs.so ../priv/'"},
{compile, "gleam build"}
]
}.
i'm not sure it needs a whole plugin for that...
but obviously this'd need cargo, rustc, a C compiler, and bash installed...
an alternative may be to precompile all of them, and decide at runtime which one to load
pale bane
Thank you for the config
I will look at it

Yeah generally you’d depend on a rebar3 project that has the compile hooks
quick hedge
so the build_tools option isn't for gleam projects?
hmm, seems to be for manifest only, not gleam.toml
inland olive
It’s the build tools that the packages you depend on use
We support gleam, mix, rebar, and rebar3
quick hedge
yeah, but how can i gleam publish something with rebar as build too? 🙂
or would publishing via rebar be the way to go?
inland olive
Yup if you publish a project with gleam it’ll tell hex that the build tool is gleam

@worthy tulip Can you throw together a "print every character as it's received" demo with this? I want to see if it suffers from the same problem we had.
I'll work on it too, but I start work in a bit.
worthy tulip
i probably won't be able to do it until after work
normal sparrow
Okay, I just called germinal.read a bunch of times in series, it has the same problem as Glerm.
worthy tulip
that is reassuring if not also extremely disappointing lol
