Looks as a good base to start [1] with, and ... > --- cage cleaners bait starts here --- [ ... ] ... yep, indeed. The whole IO layer system was totally static, when I started trying to extend it a bit. It's still lacking a lot of flexibility and it needs some rewriting. Before doing so, we'd need some clarification though, mainly: which structures are/can be shared amongst threads? How does IO look like with multiple interpreters using e.g. stdout? Another problem currently is that the STDIO layer can't be used concurrently with the low-level OS layer due to compile-time #ifdefs. I think that the STDIO layer should always be present - likely as the lowest layer in the stack. leo [1] A nice extension would be seekability by managing the current r/w position.
