It would be possible to build other interfaces like sockets and such on top of that very straightforward.\r\n\r\nWould like to know, what the community thinks about it\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/webdeb","@type":"Person","name":"webdeb"},"datePublished":"2019-12-27T18:11:30.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/494/elixirscript/issues/494"}
