Hi again people! I would just like to clarify something if your new to the thread: this is not currently meant to replace actual systems, or to even be something that is used. I didn't really expect this thread to get so popular, or to

I'm not sure, probably not right now, but I'll try!

Hmm, I'll consider them, thanks! I'm sure I'll find something soon...

An excellent point! I hope I'll be able to handle those cases in the future, and I am kind of seeing this situation: people aren't understanding that this is _the first alpha pre-release of 0.1.0 software._ It isn't going to

Since Seastar is written in Rust, and I don't have Rust support yet...no. However, it should be fairly simple to add. Despite what people want me to do, I am not going to fully reimplement Cargo -- it took the Rust devs years, and I&#x

I know, others have mentioned it as well. Seastar is a temporary name I forgot to change, and if you have any suggestions, feel free to provide them!

Thanks, that's great advice! I'll consider it. I've been meaning to update the readme for a while now, so this just gives me an excuse to do so. I think the most important thing to work on right now is compatibility. Obviousl
