@cgrand clients as in "implementing clients" or "improving the unrepl blob to the point where clients can be implemented more easily"?

pesterhazy09:10:42

to my mind, the main unsolved problem ATM is how to implement rich client features like autocompletion, docs

pesterhazy09:10:35

where should they be located - in unrepl, in an unrepl plugin (what would those looke like?), or in the client?

pesterhazy09:10:50

that obviously ties in with client development

cgrand11:10:13

@pesterhazy I was thinking of 1/ updating clients to cover more unrepl features (string elisions, side loader) 2/ figuring out what are the pain points 3/ paving the way for autocompletion etc.

cgrand11:10:11

or even developing new clients

cgrand11:10:04

Btw elision could be leveraged for better error printing: we can collapse parts heuristics deem as irrelevant more agressively as information is not thrown out

cgrand11:10:45

chouser asked if unrepl could help with remote pair programming

pesterhazy12:10:48

@cgrand, 1-3 sound good to me

pesterhazy12:10:24

remote pair programming.... I'm not sure how unrepl would help with that (over something like tmux or regular screen sharing)?

cgrand12:10:28

me neither but the question keeps nagging me

pesterhazy12:10:42

you want to be able to see what the other person is writing as they are typing

cgrand12:10:45

yeah: client thing

dominicm12:10:46

I would use something like debug-me.

cgrand12:10:17

what’s that? asking someone to join in for lending a hand?

dominicm12:10:06

Oh, I don't know for sure it lets two people type simulataneously. Still, I think the idea holds, basically a shared "terminal"

cgrand12:10:32

what could be hacked around unrepl would be to redirect all outputs (+ verbose echoes) to both sessions, so participants would still have their own input streams.

dominicm13:10:47

Seems agnostic to unrepl a little, I think?

cgrand13:10:12

I don’t know I can’t get my head around it

dominicm13:10:31

Requirements unclear. Hands stuck on pair's keyboard.

cgrand13:10:18

Vague requirements are an opportunity to get creative!

cgrand16:10:10

Maybe add an ellipsis after sideloader. Otherwise all good

richiardiandrea16:10:13

Good luck with the hackday folks! I will try to pitch in if I can connect that day 🙂

pesterhazy16:10:24

@richiardiandrea great, we'll be here and maybe even open a Hangout / http://appear.in / ....

richiardiandrea16:10:45

yeah an http://appear.in channel is going to be good 😉

pesterhazy16:10:49

@cgrand, ellipsis added. Unfortunately it doesn't expand when you click.
