Introducing the Start of the Volatus C++ Project

The time has come to create an alternative to the LabVIEW implementation of Volatus for use in (distributed) data acquisition and control applications. This is a project that will be running in parallel with continued development on the LabVIEW based Volatus as there are still deployment updates needed before the C++ version will be ready for prime time. Moving to a C++ based build will allow me to implement several features that are not available in LabVIEW such as live editing of GUIs at run-time and more configurable GUI behavior that can be programmatically configured in a running application. There are a couple of areas in the LabVIEW stack where I'm unable to do memory optimizations I know I'll be able to accomplish because LabVIEW does its own memory management and can't be told to share read-only data in parallel without making copies or adding extra complexity to manage references. Concepts like tree data structures are entry-level topics taught in schooling in text-based languages but can be difficult to do well in LabVIEW without incurring significant performance overhead hits or reference lifetime management headaches. From the outset, Volatus was designed to be usable across languages/environments and there's already a Python package available on PyPi. With messaging based on either HTTP/JSON and Google's Protobuf message serialization for data transferred over TCP/UDP, communication with Volatus is pretty accessible across environments. I have not identified which HTTP server library I want to use yet nor have I integrated the Protobuf workflows into the build tooling, I have been able to create a reliable starting template for the various C++ applications I'll be developing as part of this project. I now have the playground I need to figure out the last few dependencies that will be needed and get trucking. This is going to be one hell of a ride for me.
