The thing I don't have my brain wrapped around, yet, is why one would use
the LCB library-building functionality instead of building a library
stack. I'm interested in what you're doing, Trevor, and how you're using
LCB, as I have ideas on how to make adopting LCB easier, for me, anyway.
I prefer writing libraries in LCB because:
- LCB libraries aren't in the message path; they get selected for
dispatch in the same way that engine commands do
- I find LCB libraries easier to test (built in unit test syntax)
- LCB has block scoped, strongly-typed variables
- LCB lets you pass handlers around as values
- LCB has lists
