Hello all,

Just letting folks know about a new project I've started, along with help from Norbert Schlemmer, to bring
MQTT Messaging protocol support to VA Smalltalk.

MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol and VA Smalltalk's client support makes use of 
the Eclipse Paho MQTT C project.

This support comes in 2 parts:
- Smalltalk code (which I have begun to release at VastGoodies.com) named MQTT-Paho
- C code providing supporting user-primitives, thread-safety, and callback implementations.

The C Code is currently on Github at the following location.  This is functional, but a work in progress as I bring different platforms online and finish the support.
https://github.com/vasmalltalk/paho-mqtt-vast

All the infrastructure is in place so within a couple of weeks this should be good to go.

Hi Seth,

We have our primitive but funcional MQTT client using EsEntryPoints, although started to test this project because your approching sounds to be more eficient.
But, is it finish ? We could't found any docs about connecting the compiled user primitives into smalltalk code neither how to configure callbacks to get messages.
Are we missing something ?

Thanks
Leonardo

Hi Leonardo,

No, it’s not finished on the Smalltalk side yet.  The C code is pretty much complete.  I work on it as time allows, but the last half of 2019 didn’t leave me much time with 9.2 being delivered.  In the next couple of months I will try to get some time to upload the working smalltalk code.
