Hi friends! Does anyone know of a MPP library for process execution (similar in behavior to ProcessBuilder or Runtime.exec in the Java ecosystem)? Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks! Have a great weekend!

Thanks, Matthias! Sadly, turtle seems to be a JVM-only library...

Right...totally overlooked that

[ephemient]

iOS apps (generally) do not have the capability to start processes, and neither does JS in browsers

[ephemient]

I suppose you could create wrappers around posix_spawn (Linux, macos), `CreateProcess`(Windows), and child_process (JS), with the expectation that it will fail on some platforms

@ephemient Thanks, that's a good start! Actually, we don't need to cover mobile or web, so as long as we find a solution that works on Linux, MacOS and Windows, I'll be very happy! 😊

Usually writing this yourself should be pretty simple as you only need to cover you use cases
