I am exploring using Thrift with Eio. Currently, the Thrift support library for OCaml uses plain old Unix sockets. But Thrift is fairly flexible in how the low-level networking is done, and abstracts away the details behind a ‘transport’ interface . The interface however does not use async I/O types,…

out_channel is buffered, whereas a flow typically isn’t. You could try something like this: let formatter_of_writer w = let out buf off len = Eio.Buf_write.string w buf ~off ~len in let flush () = () in Format.make_formatter out flush Eio.Buf_write.with_flow flow @@ fun b -> let f = f…

Thrift Eio Flow transport - suggestions?

@talex5 Thanks for this suggestion, that is a bit better performing.
