I'm inclined to do a rewrite of hipe.r as Maarten mentions on AltME:
If you use async:// you'll have to rewrite hipe.r and use Gabriele's
do-after, do-every mezzanines as well. Would be great, because then
there is a fully async Rugby and it *is* do-able.
Kinda puts the stress on REBOL services. Note that the stub layer
etc. will still work as that is decoupled from transport.
as I'm constantly frustrated with the lack of async ability for
properly displaying wait indicators and generally avoid program lock
ups, particularly with get-rugby-service and with unreliable networks.
But I'm afraid I haven't the foggiest idea how to do that. I'm
looking at hipe.r, but it looks to me as if hipe is handling
threading, ports, handlers and such in a way, that replacing it or
rewriting it to use async:// doesn't add up for me. It seems I should
attack a lower level than hipe, to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.
