So no way to achieve this
.

Sure there is it just not Fun
Not Fun is not an obstacle

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Ehehe.. perhaps we give a try ?

@iamthecarisma_twitter

:hand: :hand: not now for me

I'm just recovering then 😂😳😳

Anyways, that C code looks simple

Stephen

@appcypher

It's not that it's not possible. It's that you can't load libraries directly using node native addons, you have to write some C++ code and that wraps simple. Which means users gotta rebuild ur js code using C++.
There is node-ffi if you want to skip the wrapper part, but for some reason the user will still rebuild it and it's slow af

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Nobody wants a slow stuff

This is an example repo implementing that brainfuck node.

Stephen

@appcypher

Not nocticeably slow, but compared to other ffi methods, it is

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

But I don't see an C++ code

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

i just check the node native addons documentation it still straight forward but different way to do almost the same thing.
Simple-lang and JS-Node can interact nicely

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

What's with this Web Assembly everyone is talking about.

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

Javascript future enemy

You know JS is the only language for the web

Stephen

@appcypher

But I don't see an C++ code

That's coz the interpreter is written in js. https://github.com/Ratismal/brainfuck-node/blob/master/lib/index.js

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

Yes the only-lang all other language requires some hack like most people don't know that php is actually a CGI based lang likewise others like that

So in short Web Assembly will enable other lang to run in the browser just like js,
JS itself not just run in browser the browser ususally come compiled with a js interpreter like v8 engine spider monkey e.t.c so when the web assembly sequence is complete browsers will now comes compiled with a web assembly VM which means that all the browser size will increase

if you are able to strip the js engine like spider monkey from mosilla and use it on desktop well you just created another or maybe a betther platform than NODE

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

I don't really see Web Assembly final sequence anytime soon as for all the browser to agree on same thing there will be some legal bullshit with the companies except each browser create it own VM like they do with JS interpreter.

@Youngestdev

So... ?

@iamthecarisma_twitter

we good we ll write an interop library later

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Okay nice.

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

This works just with this piece of code ?

SimpleState *simple_state = initSimpleState();
executeSimpleCode(simple_state, "display 'Hello World'");
finalize(simple_state);

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

Yes, but wrapping C code is more than that
you will have to do this to be able to use a C/C++ function in simple-lang


void the_c_funct() {

}
SIMPLE_API void init_simple_module(SimpleState *sState)
{  
      register_block(sState, the_c_funct);
}

The reason for that is because when the shared library are loaded the function simple check is init_simple_module
In future we ll write better interop library that will eliminate than and the use can be seamless like load a foreign or alien shared library (dll,so,dylib) and use directly

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Ehen...

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Drop a full working example C code.

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

check all the dynamic modules e.g consoler.c

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Oh.

Baba, drop an example code fully .

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

SIMPLE_API void init_simple_module(SimpleState *sState)
{   
    //standard streams
    register_block("__std_print",std_print);
}

void std_print(void *pointer)
{
    fprintf(stdout, "%s", SIMPLE_API_GETSTRING(2) );
}

compile to your lib e.g lib.so so in simple you could do

callDynamicModule("lib.so")

__std_print("Hello World")

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Hmmm.

Nice

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Are you sure we won't do a mini cheat sheet for the SIMPLE_API ?

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

By next month we should bring up the lang actual website their are alot of thing that should be blogged about about the lang like why we do this and not that,

I ll try install wordpress on the sourceforge website to night till we have our website

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Wordpress is a blog na ?

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

What's up here ?

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

everything good on my side

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Nice nice.

How's the web implementation coming up ?

Stephen

@appcypher

I think we need to take a serious look at webassembly

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

We ll definitely work on the webassembly

Hey Every one i ll be pausing all my modules implementations and work on simple core itself, i ll add support for this feature and resolve some bugz in the VM such as the

   list = [[0]]  
   @list[0][0]    //resolves in error

A Toy Soldier

@iamthecarisma_twitter

I ll be adding the

getter and setter methods
operator character changes
using braces to access variables e.g
name = new Class {  name = "classic" title="new title" width = 30 height = 100  }

You can follow the new code on my dev branch i ll push to it every hour. In short i ll be re writing simple-lang to fix a lot of things

also simple-lang will support all C datatype such as long, long long, string, e.t.c

Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina

@Youngestdev

Hmm..
