Consider moving this to the objc2 project?

[madsmtm]

Hey @marysaka, nice work you've been doing here!

I've been considering integrating libdispatch into objc2 for a while myself, but haven't really built up enough inertia to seriously consider doing so - that is, before today!

Specifically, I need this to enable objc2 encoding and block2 support (so I cannot yet use the crate as-is).

The big reason I'm asking is because the crate name would fit the (admittedly somewhat haphazard) naming-scheme in the objc2 project: That libraries get distinct crate names with a "2", while frameworks are prefixed with objc2. I.e.:

• libblocks -> block2
• libobjc -> objc2
• libdispatch -> dispatch2
• Framework -> objc2-*

If you say no, which is perfectly acceptable, I'll just fork and use the name objc2-dispatch, it's not a big deal for me, it'd just be nice ;)

(I recognize that it is a bit rude for me to effectively ask you to give up ownership of your project, I'm sorry, I didn't know of a better way to write it, I apologize in advance if I've offended you by that, please feel free to ignore if that is the case, I sincerely mean no harm by this proposal!)

Hey!

Sure I don't mind, I suppose your username is the same on crates.io? 😄

Don't worry it is completely fine!

The only reason for that project existence was to replace the existing dispatch crate with something at least a bit safer that I could use with objc2 on my iOS projects.

I haven't touch *OS dev for quite a while and never had time to finish integrating things properly so I'm quite happy if you want to take it over 👍

Sure I don't mind

Awesome!

I'll try my best to steward the project well, and make it even safer ;)

Should have invited you on crates.io, I will update this repo readme and archive it when you will have published the first version on crates.io

[madsmtm]

Cool! That might take a few weeks, but I'll shoot you a message here once it does happen.

This is awesome! Thanks both of you!

Hey, do you mind if I relicense your work under the trio license Zlib OR Apache-2.0 OR MIT as well? My motivation is mostly that it'll make it easier for me to write down what the license of the code actually is (fewer exceptions).

See also madsmtm/objc2#23.

[marysaka]

@madsmtm Sure go ahead 👍

I've released a new version of dispatch2 now! I didn't yet get around to doing a bunch of the refactoring I have planned (though the ffi module has been expanded by quite a lot), but there's work in progress on that here.

Hi, just pushed an update of the readme here, I will archive the repo now!

Thank you for your work 👍
