cala 0.4.0

Cross-platform system interface for hardware IO.
Documentation

Note

Cala is a complete redesign of previous library ADI. It is still in it's early stages.

About

Easily create cross-platform applications. Some common tasks are not easily portable across different platforms, and this crate hopes to fix that. That way you don't have to worry about how to port your GUI, audio, or bluetooth interface, etc. and can get straight to building your application's content!

Cala is a platform-agnostic system interface for hardware IO. This means that eventually, Cala should support all of the different hardware that's connected to your computer. Cala is designed so that it talks to the operating system to interface with the hardware, so no special permissions are needed for your application.
