@Dennis could you pull Charcoal? Thanks

@ASCII-only Done.

@Dennis Could you please pull Attache?

@Dennis nice, this is probably a better long-term solution than a websocket which I know you tried in the past

I think so too.

I'm still planning to make a standalone server instead of relying on CGI scripts though. Just minus the WebSockets.

@ConorO'Brien Done.

thanks!

@Dennis: update request for stax please

@recursive Done.

Wow, speedy. Thanks.

@Dennis Sorry, can you pull again when you have time? Something may have been wrong in my previous commit

@Dennis if you want to use Python definitely look into Tornado

It would be a good fit since almost all of the time is spent waiting for the arena

Will do.

@LuisMendo Done.

I do have to say, TIO is the fastest website written in bash I've ever used :P

So unless it's starting to become difficult to maintain I wouldn't worry too much

@Dennis Thanks!

@quartata There are some things I want to implement or improve, like some basic stats, a proper public API, a faster and larger cache, better load balancing, etc. All of those would become quite a bit easier with a server app.

Cool

This probably will be your best bet for SSH, although it doesn't look like it has an easy way of doing it non-blocking: github.com/paramiko/paramiko

looks like you can get a fileno out of it, which you could then add a callback for using tornado's IOLoop.add_handler. I'll try to make a proof of concept just for fun

(no idea if you'll still want to use SSH to communicate with the arena)

@quartata The SSH part is already done.

Paramiko is indeed not a good fit for this.

I'll just replace the WS server with an HTTP server. That shouldn't be hard.

Oh cool, I didn't know there was an asyncssh thing

You can definitely do this with aiohttp if you prefer asyncio

Wow, that asyncssh is nice. A lot of asyncio modules are lazy and just offload regular synchronous I/O onto a thread pool

This is the real deal

aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/…

You'll probably still be serving your static content off of Nginx I'd imagine

httpd/Apache atm, but yes.

httpd would probably still serve as a proxy.

oh right forgot you're on apache

@quartata I can't say I've heard of any other website written in bash
