  • Simple SMTP app-server (receiver) with Ryelang
    2 projects | /r/ryelang | 22 May 2023
    Last few days I had some time to start doing what Lamson did with Rye. Lucky for me (and I keep repeating this), Golang has really great server related libraries, and smtpd seems like made for this task. I integrated it into Rye. Then I started integrating Go's standard mail package, but the code for all the email edge cases was becoming quite complicated. I then found Go library parsemail, which I saw, by looking at the code, accounted even for more edge cases I had in mind and it exposed a simpler interface, so I integrated this instead.

    I like to use GoVCL [0] as it provides the GUI of Lazarus [1] including drag-n-drop form designer but with Go as the main language.

    GoVCL's author built a C library called liblcl [2] which is what GoVCL uses to control the GUI, so if you know C you can use it instead of Go.

    I'm building a lightweight Steam chat client with GoVCL so that I don't need the official client that takes like 200-300mb ram just to show text [3].
