[Caml-list] [ANN] Notty 0.1.0

[David Kaloper Meršinjak]

Dear list,

I'd like to announce the first release of Notty, a terminal library. The blurb:


``Notty is a declarative terminal library for OCaml structured around
a notion of composable images. It tries to abstract away the basic
terminal programming model, and provide one that is simpler and more
expressive.

The core layout engine and IO codecs are pure platform-independent
OCaml. Distribution includes modules with input and output facilities
for Unix, and Lwt on Unix.

As an attempt to redefine terminal programming, Notty has to be
"opinionated". It assumes Unicode throughout, does not have universal
support for various terminals out there, and has a peculiar
programming and rendering model.''


Feedback is welcome. Samples of unsupported input escapes are welcome
too, and so are complaints about the rendering.

Many thanks to Daniel Bünzli who helped discard an endless stream of
bad ideas. Sadly, he's not omnipotent.

Daniel's work is also what Notty's solid Unicode support builds upon.


Best,
David

A big "Thank you!" to both you and Daniel for creating this elegant
library! With not many lines of code, I create a new logger to my LWT
application that adds color to log messages as well as word wrapping them
intelligently.

Highly recommended!

Just to make that clear, David is the *sole* mastermind and culprit of the elegance behind the library. I only offered some comments and made a pre-release review of the API.

Best,  

Daniel
