Dependence on Core
Issue #1
resolved
Hi,
I think Core is great and pretty useful, but do you think that you need to depend on it for this library? As far as I can tell, the library is only using it for Date.t
, Time.t
and their respective format functions. It seems like a pretty heavy dependency for some simple functionality. I ask only because I've spent the past 20 minutes repinning Core
due to their bugs rather than trying out your library.

Hi,
sorry for the inconvenience. I agree that the dependency is really heavy and I considered a more lightweight alternative like the
calendar
package on OPAM. However, I decided to go withCore
since I usegnuplot
a lot in combination withibx
(which uses bothCore
andAsync
heavily) to plot time series data and I wanted to avoid any additional mapping code. If you want a plotting package with very little dependencies then you should try outarchimedes
.
