16:23 <noracodes> spacekookie: looks great! i'd love to get netmod-udp all asyncified and get to testing multiple nodes in a network. I'll be back in Chicago in a few days and i should be able to really buckle down and get things into a semi-usable state where we can have LAN and external chats going easily

16:25 <spacekookie> noracodes: sounds good! I'm gonna try to get the Ratman internals asyncified today because the async branch doesn't build right now

16:25 <spacekookie> Also I started working on the non async ffi interfaces and not super sure how to handle that but bleh, we'll see I guess

16:25 <noracodes> yeah, i figured that was why. very cool that rust enables stuff like this now!

16:25 <noracodes> mmm yeah good question

16:25 <spacekookie> A bit worried about integrating all this on android...

16:26 <noracodes> yeah. we should definitely provide a way to call for blocking primatives that can be used via ffi

16:26 <noracodes> like, "do this async operation but block", or "do this async operation and call the given function pointer" or something like that

16:26 <spacekookie> I mean, we could even try providing an async callback API but that sounds kinda annying to work with in C

16:26 <spacekookie> Yea

16:31 <noracodes> the other thing is that, at least intuitively, it seems as if the main benefit of async external interfaces is throughput for multiple connections

16:31 <noracodes> which is a lot less important on a mobile device as it likely can't handle being the central node of a very large network anyway

16:31 <noracodes> so optimizing for a fast syncronous single user interface should be fine

16:36 <spacekookie> Hm, yea maybe?I guess we need to look at this again once we have the wifi direct driver working

16:36 <spacekookie> On the github org there's an example app that I wrote 2 years ago as a tech dome on how wifi direct worked

16:37 <spacekookie> We should probably look at that and see if we can hook it up to ratman via the netmode API
