This is David, the author of oterm.
Thanks for all the positive comments. I'm glad people are like it.
Actually oterm was designed as an advanced example of a use of the onion http library (agreed, not the best name, accepting suggestions).
Maybe I should make it a separate project.
- possibilistic 13y agoCool project. I originally thought this was a joke by "The Onion" due to the title, but I think I get what you were aiming for: layers of an onion :: layers of the OSI? What kind of projects do you intend to use the HTTP library for? That sounds almost more interesting than the terminal use case.
- dmoreno 13y agoInitially it started when I was working on the AISoy1 Robot (www.aisoy.com) which was using a very limited ARM processor. We decided to give upgrade and management capabilities via a web application to the robot; we tried first with a Python based one, but it was consuming too much memory, so I started this project. We continued using it, although now we use Raspberry Pi which is quite more powerful. Nice projects are right now rasppi-style projects where you are interested in doing an application that almost does not consume resources: 2MB RAM for example for oterm, not including shared libraries, as fast as the fastest. Also I use it as a platform to easily develop C/C++ web services where performance is paramount, on real big servers.
