Cool... What's your usecase for that (I'm nosy, I know :-P)

 

I'm planning to clean up this work during Xmas vacation and will make it public then.

Cool... If I can ask, do you have the code somewhere publicly
accessible?

No, not at the moment. 

I appreciate what you said about this being still deeply experimental,
but it's something really interesting, and there may be people
interested in seeing/collaborating! :-)

 

I'm planning to clean up and push it a little bit further during Xmas time and then I'll put the code in a public place early Jan.

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
