Is anyone making use of the `tinygo` support? #268

Open owenwaller opened 1 month ago

If anyone is making use of the tinygo support in vugu can you please make yourself known?

So if you are building your vugu project with the vugugen -tinygo switch enabled @bradleypeabody and @owenwaller would really like to hear from you.

@bradleypeabody and I are considering changing the build process for building vugu itself. This will typically only impact you if you are a contributor or maintainer of vugu itself. Our goal is to make the build experience as near identical locally as it is when running the Github Action CI/CD build. This will also hopefully simplify the build process for contributors.

Everyone else will still use vugugen in their projects as normal.

Just to make this clear we have not made any decision on this yet. @bradleypeabody and myself are simply trying out alternative approaches at this stage.

See the related PR #267

Thanks

Owen

I would !!

the binary size is why I would use tinygo.

I have used tinygo for other WASM stuff.

gedw99 commented 1 month ago

I have been using MakeFiles and task Files to make local and CI builds identical.

its a good idea what your doing. Github actions suck due to not being able to run locally

gedw99 commented 1 month ago

you guys are welcome to grab me on Telegram and we can do a group chat of something. or any other medium.

the main thing with vugu for me is binary size

@gedw99 So far you are a 1 of N sample...and yours is a I would like to not I am :)

Anyone else using tinygo as this is likely to determine where we direct our efforts?

But a question. As far as @bradleypeabody and myself are aware tinygo does NOT support the Go net/http layer when compiling for wasm. See:

https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+wasm+net%2Fhttp+

and @bradleypeabody's original suggestion here (form 4 years ago!)

https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/850#issuecomment-627047525

Does your experience with using tinygo compiling for a wasm target differ? Specifically can you use a Go standard library net/http/Client to make a simple GET call?

If you can't make that call using the standard library then that will also influence where we expend effort.

Could you let us know, either way?

Thanks

@gedw99

And my apologies. In my haste I forgot to say, if you wish to contribute to vugu you would be more than welcome. There is a V1.0 ToDo list in #260

Note to self: I need to look at this to check it's up to date.
