> 4/1/2015 Development for streamtools has waned as our attention has turned towards developing a language paradigm that embraces blocking, types, and more reasonable semantics. Stay tuned.
I don't think so -- feels like just unfortunate timing for when Hacker News discovered this project. They must have seen the increased attention and updated their README to reflect the lack of development (The last commit before today was Nov, 2014)
Awesome - more stuff like this please. Flow-based programming is a really great thing and this is a good start. Props for making it available as a local service; this seems reasonably robust and usable, especially for a first iteration. More examples would be good, as would nestable macros. Native Instrument's digital audio tool Reaktor is a great example of what can be achieved in this area, as are the tools from DSP Robotics, which are also a little more code-oriented.
Win 64 Binaries work fine, but they unpack to a file called 'st' which has to be renamed to 'st.exe'. Tsk tsk. From the docs:
if you're a Windows user we do provide binaries but don't know much about how to interact with a Windows machine - you will need to translate these instructions to Windows yourself.
The Windows x64 .tar.gz extracts to a file with no extension. It's actually a .exe that you then run to stat a webserver on localhost. It'll assign a port that you can connect to.
edit: I'm trying to do the 'hello world' tutorial but I don't think my fromhttpstream block is updating when I hit Update. It blanks out the Endpoint area when I hit update, but then seems to do nothing when it's connected to a tolog block.
When I doubleclick on the red box, I do see the JSON for the httpinput, but I'm not seeing anything in the command prompt window.
I bet it's my company's firewall. The app itself will be doing the data fetch and won't be getting through the NTLM proxy, because it's not looking for the HTTP_PROXY settings for the command prompt (which tells it to use cntlm to get through the proxy).
Safe FME[0] is an enterprise licensed version of this. It's can read and write almost any format and has some quite unique paradigms for transforming data structures. I wish there was an open source clone of it.
