# toobusy
This is an unfinished experiment for implementing a [notmuch]-like command-line tool for [iCalendars][rfc 5545].
## Status
This is presently an unfinished proof-of-concept prototype. Ideally, I would
like to rewrite this in a statically typed language like Haskell or Rust.
However, I would first have to write [Xapian] bindings for such a language and
presently I am not motivated enough to do so. Further, properly implementing
this in Guile requires improving the [guile-ics] library. For instance, this
library is presently lacking proper support for recurring events. Essentially,
making progress on this project requires working on either an
[RFC 5545][rfc 5545] or [Xapian] library and neither seems particularly "fun"
right now.
## Development Setup
Requires a working [Guix] installation:
$ guix time-machine -C channels.scm -- shell
[env] $ guile -L src -s ./bin/toobusy-index samples/*.ics
[env] $ guile -L src -s ./bin/toobusy-list -s 01-01-1000 -e 01-01-3000
[env] $ guile -L src -s ./bin/toobusy-search party
## Installation
Presently, this is supposed to be installed via [Guix]:
$ guix time-machine -C channels.scm -- package -f package.scm
