More VAPIs for Vala/Genie
I
have been sporadically reading through the main documentation page for Genie, and I stumbled upon this link near the bottom of the document from the page ( https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Genie ):

Lo and behold, if you scroll down in it, there is gcrypt! I had started writing an interface for the Bitfinex API some time ago and it needed a type of hash not present in the one included in the Vala distribution. It is in gcrypt, I think. Writing Vala APIs is not complicated anyway, it's just a matter of translating the enums and function specifications (like in a .h file in C) so that the compiler knows how to address the functions in the libraries, which are written in C.
I am slowly working through this. My first task in my list of things to do is to write the beginnings of the inter-subchain TCP connection system, just first to be able to run two instances and instruct one to connect to the other and feed data across.
We can't stop here! This is Whale country!
