I factored the lowest-level portion of the fleet code out as a standalone library which I’ve named ‘startc’ and posted on github. I also announced it on reddit.com/r/programming and on hackernews. Of course it feels a wee bit nerve-racking to post something experimental like this for the world to examine, but it’s a good exercise as it forces me to get all the loose ends tied up and to really think carefully about the interfaces between modules. So far the reception has been generally positive, which is nice. I have no idea whether anyone will actually use the library, but perhaps someone will get through the early stages of a similar project more quickly by looking at its source code, and that would make me feel good.
