[question] Channel functions

[zeroware]

Hello,

Are you planning on binding the channels operations from libmill in JS ?

If yes , I may be able to help !

[reqshark]

yes, that is the goal! 👍

I think that would reduce avoid complexity of libuv integrated callbacks and simplify JS internal operations.

I've been thinking about how to do that, and I'm not sure if we need to spin up a process or something separate first to conduct libmill coroutines and channel operations independently.. or just bind them directly and call them straight. if you have ideas for how to do that with channel operations in JS, any help would be most welcome :)

I don't have much experience with binding native lib with node but i've been using the project.
I don't know if you can reproduce the use of yield with a libmill implementation.

[reqshark]

I think it's possible, because yielding cpu to other co-routines was part of the lib's design:

void yield(void);

By calling this function you give other coroutines a chance to run.

You should consider using yield() when doing lengthy computations which don't involve natural coroutine switching points such as network operations.

The function has no return value, nor can it return an error.

It looks like Libmill's yield implementation is inverted compared to js-csp
