More types of conduits #157

Closed samoht closed 3 years ago

samoht commented 7 years ago

There are many more types of conduits that the ones currently exposed by that library. That would be great to have a common home to put all of them together. See for instance https://github.com/docker/datakit/blob/master/src/datakit_conduit.ml which abstract socket listening over:

Currently conduit is not in shape to welcome this new backends as I am not very happy with the current API (note: I wrote parts of that API, so I am certainly to blame). Would be great if we could have a better design using some new features of OCaml, such as open types. WDYT?

Yes, I'm working on a design that should obviate the current need for cppo and many of the functors, and this incorporates the feedback from @selipou's OCaml workshop talk on the webstack. Will update shortly.

Wassim and Heikki at Ericsson may also have some feedback. I believe they looked at conduit before using just vchan for their NFV platform. I can't tag them here as I've no idea what their GitHub IDs are but maybe you could email the list about this?

The new version of conduit uses extensible variant to let the user to define its own type. 4 years after, we are able to close this PR :tada:.
