Custom toplevel methods: aiming to enhance LibUI about libui

[AndyObtiva]

I think you posted this issue in the wrong project. LibUI is a Ruby C binding, so it is meant to be as simple as possible and just a basic mapping from C to Ruby.

You’re not supposed to fiddle with malloc directly. You’re supposed to use the high level Glimmer DSL for LibUI to write code the Ruby way, and it automates all management of low level calls and malloc/free usage.

Right now, in Glimmer DSL for LibUI, you write font code like this:

font family: 'Helvetica', size: 12, weight: :normal, italic: :normal, stretch: :normal

Or just:

font family: 'Helvetica', size: 12

This is as simple as it gets. It’s very readable and human friendly, and you don’t have to fuss with malloc.

If you have requests for improvements, please post them at the Glimmer DSL for LibUI project.

Please open source what you are making on Github or Gitlab. Not all of it, just some of it. Otherwise, it's hard for me to collaborate with you. I'm not sure what's stopping you, I think you'll get used to using Git after 2-3 days of exposure. It's worth it. Give it a try. This is the shortest route to solving the problem. If you are having trouble with this, please ask an engineer you know for remote help. If you are good at Japanese, it could be me...
