FYI, I've written a guile telnet server; unfortunately it is deeply buried in another project and would be hard to abstract.
Why do this? Well, because the default guile-2.2 network REPL server was slow, would crash, deadlock, have terrible response times, etc. making it embarrassingly unusable. I spent an afternoon googling around for a generic telnet/ssh/ssl/whatever interactive network login terminal server, and, amazingly, got nothing. One might think that many people/projects/organizations might have a stand-alone interactive shell of some kind, and needed to slap an ssh/telnet/whatever interface on it. Why doesn't such a thing exist? Maybe because it sounds easy, at first, until you hit the scalability & reliability and throughput and latency issues, and then ... well, it gets really hard and really painful to debug. Whatever. Yes, the world needs one of these. -- Linas On Sun, May 12, 2019 at 11:33 AM Artyom Poptsov <poptsov.art...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Guilers. > > For those of you who interested in a new release of Guile-SSH [1]: > > I *do not* lost an interest in the project, I'm just buried under my > jobs and other tasks.
