BDE VS OpenFrameworks

Hi, one of the authors here. BlazingMQ depends on two other open source C++ libraries: https://github.com/bloomberg/bde and https://github.com/bloomberg/ntf-core. I believe documentation writer wanted to highlight that BlazingMQ does not depend on frameworks like ZooKeeper, etc.

It would be easy to make the runtime use polymorphic allocators, one for the temporary objects created by update_methods, and another for the hash and dispatch tables. The first allocator could use the stack (like this), and the second a block in the BSS segment.

I'm pretty sure they use C++ very extensively. They have their own C++ standard library for example. I'm not aware of them using FORTRAN or C. Do you have a reference for that?

No first-hand experience, but C++ is definitely a player. Check out John Lakos and bloomberg/bde. He was a force behind the improved allocators in C++11 and beyond. That repo I linked is a beast of a codebase (:

Specifying your own allocator is like a main feature of bde from Bloomberg:

If I remember correctly, BDE ( https://github.com/bloomberg/bde ) is developed in London's office and definitely the team that works on it is one of the most experienced in the company.

Libc++ hasn't implemented polymorphic containers and similar. You could take a look at what inspired PMR: https://github.com/bloomberg/bde/

Not exactly VJ, but could be used for it. https://openframeworks.cc

Since you have C# experience, take this time to learn more about C++ while you continue to look. While yes, it is very easy to write bad code, it's not a huge deal since you just graduated and are just hacking around. Plus there are a lot of helpers these days to make writing bad code a little less likely.A former mentor of mine gifted me "C++ Without Fear" by Brian Overland which I can recommend. It's not too expensive, I think it was $25 or something like that, likely less used. Also comes in E-book form.If you'd like a gentler introduction to C++, may I recommend openFrameworks?

Have you come across openFrameworks (https://openframeworks.cc/) or Cinder (https://libcinder.org/)?

Not sure it checks all your boxes, but check openFrameworks?

I recently heard of openFrameworks which should make it pretty easy to make your game. It handles putting together a bunch of other libraries and window management so you can focus on drawing some shapes on the screen and handling user input. Sounds like love2d but all C++.

let me know if I can help out - also checkout the forum at openframeworks.cc - the people there are very friendly and helpful - especially with people that are completely new to oF...

I mean, https://www.libcinder.org and https://openframeworks.cc have been mainstays of the creative coding industry for a long time now. A Rust take on the problem shouldn't be too surprising.
