luhsra / rt.js Goto Github PK

RT.js looks like an exciting project! I'm interested in exploring RT.js to orchestrate the handling of multiple data streams that are used to update multiple WebGL plots concurrently. I look forward to sharing any high-level results with you.

Are there plans to continue the development of RT.js? Are there any specific features that the authors are interested in adding to the framework?

Thanks!

It would be great if RT.js was bundled up as a Webpack loader so that a user can integrate RT.js seamlessly into their project. This would require creating a new NPM package named rtjs-loader (or rtjs-webpack-loader) that could be added to a project which would pass source code through the transpiler before being bundled by Webpack.

I'd be happy to get a prototype / reference implementation set up. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this!

There is a proposal to add support for decorators for ES6 classes. Instead of having to write code like this:

class MyTask extends Task {
    // @rtjs
    *run() {
        var i = 0;
        while (i < 1000000) {
           i++;
        }
        // implement your task here
    }
}

RT.js would allow for code to be written as:

class MyTask extends Task {
    @rtjs
    *run() {
        var i = 0;
        while (i < 1000000) {
           i++;
        }
        // implement your task here
    }
}

This could be implemented in the short-term using Babel's @babel/plugin-proposal-decorators plugin.

Please let me know what your thoughts are on this -- I'd like to help out!
