09/14/2022, 9:29 PM@hundreds-father-404: i’ve had a few thoughts about environments and remoting: should i add suggestions/a-section to your existing design, or to @ancient-vegetable-10556’s new document?

EnvironmentNameRequest -> EnvironmentNamew

09/14/2022, 10:39 PMsounds good. i Suggested one more potentially controversial point at the end of that section

09/14/2022, 10:40 PMi’m not going to be starting anything in this area, since i need to be working on the backend. but if you’d like me to incorporate the ideas from the Appendix into the rest of the document i can do that, and open some tickets about implementation?

09/14/2022, 10:43 PMfyi I added a comment about having the ability to match against "execution platform" and "target platform" instead of just "platform."

09/14/2022, 11:01 PMdo I have the notion of environment "reversed" somehow? how do we select environments in a way that just says "give me a linux target platform"?

09/14/2022, 11:02 PMhow do we select environments in a way that just says “give me a linux target platform”?@fast-nail-55400: there is no facility for that currently. that’s what i have suggested in this section

09/14/2022, 11:04 PMis environment akin to Bazel toolchain?an environment target is roughly equivalent to a toolchain, yes. the difference is that toolchains are decomposed such that you might have “a toolchain to select the JDK” vs a “toolchain to select the C++ compiler”, whereas environments aggregate all of the environment-specific options into an environment target
