Zinc IRC RFC party

[farcaller]

Pinging in @bgamari @0xc0170 @bharrisau @kvark @posborne @mcoffin and @errordeveloper. Are you in for a few hours of discussion on project goals?

What to discuss:

• switching to rustfmt (Consider switching to official rust style (rustfmt zinc) #358)
• switching from ioreg! macro to pre-generated code (I'll try hard to submit the demo tomorrow, to show pros and cons)
• zinc as part of crates.io infrastructure (do we want to split stuff into crates?)
• something else?

[bharrisau]

Sure, GMT+11 here. Have some dot points of what to discuss?

[kvark]

Sorry, I'll pass on the discussion, will follow the thread.

[mcoffin]

I'm in. GMT-7, though I can make pretty much any time you give me if you give me about a day of notice.

[posborne]

I'm GMT-6 but pretty flexible as well.

[bharrisau]

Gitter is an option too if IRC is too onerous for some.

[lizardo]

I just started playing with zinc a few weeks ago (and with Rust itself for a few months), but I would like to join to get a better understanding of the future steps for the project.

GMT-4 here. I prefer night time, but just say the day/time/place and I will try to join.

Either gitter or IRC is fine (is there an official IRC channel?). It would be nice if someone could take chat logs for those who can't join.

@lizardo #rust on moznet (irc.mozilla.org)

[0xc0170]

For me GMT. Seems like we are quite scattered around the world

It would be nice if someone could take chat logs for those who can't join.

+1, I assume they will result in RFC or tracking issues. we will be able to catch up

[pablochacin]

yes, share log, please.

#359 (comment).

[mcoffin]

Adding this to the discussion:

• Generalize platformtree and less-painful generalization of MCUs.

Current thoughts on this: It might be possible to generalize the mcu like this with Rust's type system (using marker traits + empty enums) since it's turing complete instead of relying on compile-time macros, feature flags, and #[cfg(..)]-gating.

Filed #365 with more details on suggested move from ioregs!
