RiveScript Discussions

Links to particularly interesting RiveScript discussions.

These are mostly GitHub issues that I wanted to keep track of easily after they're closed. I'll slowly add to this list as I dig up more interesting topics.

Common Topics

These topics are so common that I use GitHub Issue labels to categorize them.

Unicode (UTF-8)

• JavaScript
• Python
• Perl

See also Unicode Problems on my wiki.

Async (JS)

Of the programming languages I've ported RiveScript to, JavaScript is the most heavily centered around asynchronous programming. As such it has a lot of discussions on GitHub and even its own wiki page there.

• Promises for user variable functions - lots of backstory on async in RiveScript.
• All Async Issues
• Asynchronous Support (wiki)

Performance and Scale

• RiveScript Performance (JS)
  • @atladmin had success with 20K replies and no performance dips.
  • Discussion of getting databases involved (RiveScript won't do that).
  • Compliments on RiveScript being high performance with no moving parts, unlike SuperScript (it depends on MongoDB and other deployment headaches).
