Finally got around to writing this up:
http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2015/06/22/cuekeeper-internals-irmin/
I'd be particularly interested to hear about suggestions for avoiding
the React GC issues.
Very nice write up! I was eagerly waiting for it; especially the
tyxml/react part, since we didn't got much feedback on that. I'm rather
happy to see that you used it and enjoyed the convenient combinators and
the additional type safety. I agree that the documentation is less than
satisfactory, I have yet to find a nice way to document such complex
typing.
I'm surprised you understand it by *reading the code* given the
functorization and the typing. :D
Apart from the typical react issues, what was your feeling on the tyxml
react things, from a GUI building aspect ?
For the GC issues, Lwt_react[1] helps a bit, in particular E.keep and
S.keep. It basically implements your "global sink" idea. Doesn't solve
the space leaks in javascript, though. Lwt_react in general is a very
nice improvement over React when used in conjunction with Lwt.
You didn't seem to use Lwt_js_events (or just didn't talked about it) in
jsoo, is there a reason ?
Otherwise, the contribution of the indexedDB api to jsoo's api would be
very welcome. ;)
The bigstring and bin_prot primitives have been implemented in js now
(part of hhugo's effort to make Async work on jsoo), so you shouldn't
need them any more.
