Welcome to the Lounge

i just wanted to say. nothing personal about the hal. [redacted] just told me to rewrite it and thats what im doing. i actually think you have a lot of good ideas when it comes to programming, its just that is very beginner un-friendly.

1. modular
2. micro-services architecture
3. has to deal with asynchronous events on non-UI threads from hardware
4. uses a publisher/subscriber (of my own design) to queue work (synchronously or asynchronously), distribute messages to all receivers, and handles exceptions by the receiver
5. includes a logging module to PaperTrailApp
6. includes an email module for critical exceptions
7. has to interface to CefSharp
8. has to deal with all sorts of hardware, from ATM's to desktop devices (some of which are brain dead)
9. supports mocking hardware by simply swapping out the real module in the config file with the mock module

1. make it monolithic
2. handle async processing somehow (not sure what they have in mind)
3. make it non-modular
4. throw out the mocking features
5. throw out the logging
6. throw out all but the 3 devices their trying to support

1. re-implement it in F#
2. use reactive extensions
3. god knows what other fancy kruft

but weak or non-existent technical leaders...are the ultimate cause.
