i have a project i’d like to prototype using the I/O library once there’s a socket backend

[orangy]

Can you share the basic idea? Just so we may have a little bit more use cases while designing it all

[kevinherron]

i’m going to implement a comms protocol with it. something similar to this: https://github.com/digitalpetri/modbus

except written purely in kotlin instead of Java+netty

[kevinherron]

and actually version 2.0 of that library may eventually be rewritten in kotlin + coroutines + io

[kevinherron]

depends if i can create a serial backend for these IO abstractions

I'd also use this library for hardware debug/service. The use case is an android device which can connect through usb/serial or wifi to the hardware, atm we use okio/rxjava but only on usb serial devices
