WEBVTT

00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:03.360
okay I mean can you hear me yep I can

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:05.279
hear you can you hear me

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:07.200
yes perfect so gabrielle uh if you want

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:08.480
to start answering questions and by the

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:09.280
way people for the

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:10.880
for the stream I'm actually on a phone

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:12.400
call right now so the quality might be a

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:13.360
little bad

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:17.199
but we're trying our best

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.480
hello uh thanks for attending my talk

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.800
I see four questions on the user product

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.000
I'm going to answer

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.039
them okay so the first one is

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.039
can you put your test space from up

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.119
somewhere uh yes they're very simple

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:31.840
skips

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:33.680
uh I'll find a way to distribute them

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:35.520
somehow

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.600
that's so that's an easy one the second

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:38.800
one is more difficult it's more

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:40.559
difficult it's the differences between

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:44.320
e shell and v term so I did very basic

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.360
level the main difference is that v

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:50.399
term is implemented with

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.800
as a bridge between Emacs and an

00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:53.840
external library

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.079
which means that most of the code base

00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.039
is actually c

00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.320
it's not easy uh this is is a critical

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:01.280
difference

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.760
uh in terms of performance in terms of

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:04.320
speed

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:06.960
and all the other uh features that we

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:07.360
can

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:10.400
inherit from this library so vterm

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.119
is similar to a real terminal it's not

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:13.600
as

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:15.840
uh it's not like a shell it's a real

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.040
terminal emulator

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.600
that can actually uh display but

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:20.479
manipulate the

00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:22.960
terminal in pretty much any way whereas

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:23.520
isha

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:25.759
is simply a way to interact with your

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:26.640
system

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.680
in the data page we have a more

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.840
complete discussion about this topic and

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.520
where we compare v-terms with e-shell

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:34.799
with shell with nc

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.720
term as well I think so

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:40.640
I think just to conclude this I think

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.000
eshell and v term

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.079
are somehow orthogonal in the sense that

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:45.280
v3 is before a

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.880
full complete terminal experience

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:49.439
whereas isil is more for specific tasks

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:50.240
of this

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:53.280
uh which are not like terminal uh

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.759
interfaces you know like page stock this

00:01:55.759 --> 00:01:56.799
kind of stuff

00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.759
uh the next question is uh is there a

00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:01.200
plan to avoid compilation of the initial

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:02.560
completion steps

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.759
so since the term is based on again

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:08.000
on an external module we need to combine

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:08.800
this module

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.800
and we're using the dynamic module

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:11.920
system to

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:13.920
be able to interface with this module

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:16.239
and this requires

00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:18.879
us to compile the module at least the

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.160
very first time you start

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:23.920
the I don't think we can do

00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:26.720
without that in the near future we need

00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:28.480
to compile this

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:31.599
and we must there's no way around

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.360
if we cannot simply distribute the

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.440
module um

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:39.519
if you want to think very long term

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:40.480
maybe

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:42.959
uh but I think there's no current plan

00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:43.599
to

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.760
avoid the compilation as the very first

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:47.280
step the first time you

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.400
uh run vtor however all the subsequent

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:50.959
times

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:54.720
you will not have to compile peter um

00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:57.840
so for question four it's uh I have a

00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:58.720
nice looking problem

00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:01.920
thanks uh and if

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:04.159
there's a git repo where you can see it

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.599
or something like that

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.560
so if you go to my github repo I have

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:09.760
adobe files

00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:12.560
repo but look at that it's terrible it's

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:13.840
super updated

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.800
so I've been meaning to polish it for

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:17.519
like years

00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:20.080
and I haven't got it so don't look at it

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.760
my font is actually extremely simple

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:25.200
I think it's the pure prompt from uh zsh

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:26.640
or fish depending

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:28.799
uh and I think I didn't do anything but

00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:30.640
like maybe tweaking the colors a little

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:31.360
bit

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.280
okay gabriel just sorry to interject if

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.519
you could just take one more question

00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:37.120
yes the last question is already the

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.440
answer which is uh will it work with

00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:42.480
e max terminal so minus and w and answer

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:44.480
yes it works without any problem with

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:46.239
imax terminal so you can run a terminal

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:47.760
inside image inside of terminal

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:49.680
and you can continue paying up as much

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.200
as you want okay

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:53.920
I think that's it explain the question

00:03:53.920 --> 00:03:56.239
oh sorry thank you

00:03:56.239 --> 00:03:59.760
thanks for attending this talk

00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:01.519
well thank you so much for giving it so

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:03.360
I'm in back to you

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.280
you are now unmuted thank you very much

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.519
to gabrielle for the awesome talk and

00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:11.200
for taking live questions

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:14.319
and also many thanks to leo for getting

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:15.200
through to gabriel

00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:18.720
via phone in the face of gabriel having

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.720
technical difficulties

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.160
with using big blue button
