Rust

While building c-rusted-rs, I found myself calling some context helpers "hooks". In hindsight, they were really extension traits layered over a tiny typemap-backed analysis context.

The pattern is simple: keep the core context boring, then add opt-in capabilities such as cached analyses through trait methods. It is not novel, but it made the checker dependencies local, readable, and easier to compose.

In this post, I describe the redesign of the fundamental architecture for the e-light structured light app, which I'm currently developing.

The new architecture is based on a modular design that splits the app into three main modules (the engine, the scanner agent, and the user interface), each with a clear responsibility. This design allows for more flexibility, better separation of concerns, distributed setups, and easier customization.
