Realtime feedback in rust-playpen #70

Open broesamle opened 7 years ago

broesamle commented 7 years ago

Hi folks, basic issues (https://github.com/broesamle/rust-playpen/issues/1) combined with lack of network/hyper experience prevent me from making progress here:

Implement a realtime feedback mechanism in playpen. Example code could stream console output to the client side which would then visualise the program behaviour over time.

Simplest application case: show console output in real time

Advanced application case: Pick the output and transform it into some visualisation. Pipelined turtle graphics for example. This would make us independent of piston, but requre a quick network connection, of course. (Personally, I was inspired by the idea to reduce the graphics dependencies in the mondrian pattern generator.)

Contributions or some support on hyper API details questions are welcome!

Would that look like something swift playground does?

propably. The idea is to have a web-server-based rust learning environment with a graphical frontend in the browser/client of the learner.

No need to install rust on a machine for a first contact.

visible, graphical feedback in realtime (which I find essental when grasping/learning multi-threaded dynamics)

Could we use RLS in the backend for this?
