02:33:44petersjt014[m]anyone have experience w/parsing xml?
02:38:41petersjt014[m]wait
02:38:57petersjt014[m]I was trying to parse a string where a file was expected
02:39:21petersjt014[m]nvm
02:39:33petersjt014[m]now if only I can find the right module..
02:43:06FromGitter<zacharycarter> how do I free shared if I'm using runForever - basically how do I clean up in the case of using jester w/ runForever
02:43:17FromGitter<zacharycarter> since I can't use defer at top leve?
02:43:51FromGitter<zacharycarter> or can I just stick it at the bottom of the routes macro?

08:09:12FromGitter<ephja> probably referring to some specific thing :p
08:09:18petersjt014[m]I don't know what you're doing, but still probably neat
08:11:59petersjt014[m]rn I'm having fun discovering that triple zips in a language I don't really know are not that easy
08:15:52Araqtrying to get the issue count to 1300
08:16:47Araqfix 5 issues every day and it only takes us 260 days to get it to 0.
08:17:26FromGitter<ephja> is "foo.bar(...)" generated for the js target with 'importcpp'? if emit is not used
08:17:37Araqyup.
08:18:23FromGitter<ephja> trying to extend it outside of the dom module. doesn't work so I guess I'll use emit. I should add getComputedStyle though. karax has it

11:48:13hal1dom96: I'm trying to change docopt to use regex instead of nre and I noticed the unary < warning and that nimble check gives some warnings. Does this look ok to you https://github.com/docopt/docopt.nim/compare/master...hendrikgit:nimblefile ?
11:49:29dom96hal1: Yes, except that your `test` task won't work on Windows.
11:50:27dom96you can use this https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimscript.html#listFiles,string
11:51:29hal1ls
11:52:08hal1doh that ls was meant for my console. Thanks dom96 I'll do that
11:56:55hal1do I need to call setCommand "nop" after every exec in a task or just at the end of the task
11:59:23dom96You don't have to do that at all in Nimble
12:05:38hal1dom96: like this? https://github.com/docopt/docopt.nim/compare/master...hendrikgit:nimblefile
12:07:24dom96sure, I think there might be a way to use the ospaths module's functions in nimscript too
12:07:33dom96you can use them to check the file extension
12:07:44dom96but what you're doing works too

13:20:35FromGitter<alehander42> I almost made a mini web framework in my horrible websocket.nim based file
13:21:09FromGitter<alehander42> I already have html templates & routing dsl
13:24:00FromGitter<alehander42> actually are there any other nim web frameworks than jester? i've always found it weird crystal guys have several and we have one, a bit like in the python vs ruby distribution
13:28:47AraqI don't know. time to improve jester I guess.
13:28:57*endragor joined #nim
13:29:03Araqbtw you can use "native karax" for the html templates
13:30:08FromGitter<alehander42> jester seems nice, I just always wanted to write my own little framework , pure egoism :D
13:30:31Araqwell it's like your own pattern matching DSL.
13:30:39Araqalways nice to write his own.
13:31:03FromGitter<alehander42> yes, you just have to write one, otherwise you'll never find the true pattern of life
13:31:15AraqI wanted to use 'lexim' for jester's routing
13:33:43*endragor quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
13:34:01FromGitter<alehander42> hm, lexim looks interesting
13:34:49FromGitter<alehander42> how can you use native karax btw ? does it just have an alternative genHtml ?
13:34:57*jjido joined #nim
13:35:30Araqthere is a test for it, I hope.
13:36:07Araqyou import karax_dsl and it buildHtml() builds a DOM that can be turned into a string
13:36:16Araqsadly, it doesn't build the string directly
13:37:00Araqbut depending on what you do, the tree representation can be faster.
13:39:11FromGitter<alehander42> ah yeah, `$`
13:41:43Araqtbh I don't really know what a web framework needs to do. Routing, yes. I tried to do a general 'login' mechanism but it's so tied to the data model
13:43:46*Sembei quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
13:44:52*Sembei joined #nim
13:45:09FromGitter<alehander42> yeah, I doubt one can really bake a too general login mechanism inside
13:46:51Araqwould be cool though, users have 'roles' and every action is attached to a role
13:46:57FromGitter<alehander42> also you can have complicated auth schemes, role-based auth etc, probably 3rd party libs
13:47:09FromGitter<alehander42> would be best for that
13:47:39Araqso the framework makes it harder to introduce security problems.
13:48:08Araqevery action is checked against the user role
13:49:29*nsf quit (Quit: WeeChat 2.0.1)
13:50:16FromGitter<alehander42> so basically each action has something like a whitelist of roles?
13:51:39FromGitter<ZarsBranchkin> What tools are there for automatic javascript binding generation?
13:51:52*leorize joined #nim
13:52:07Araqalehander42: exactly.
13:52:51Araqif attached to the routing pattern, you cannot forget it.
13:53:24Araqdjango seems to solve this by producing the SQL schema for you
13:53:40FromGitter<alehander42> @ZarsBranchkin https://github.com/mcclure/dts2nim (it's great, but a bit old, the author doesn't seem to work with Nim anymore: I have an unfinished newer version of it)
13:54:04FromGitter<alehander42> what do you need it for?
13:54:11FromGitter<alehander42> @Araq yeah, it seems useful
13:54:41FromGitter<alehander42> still I can imagine some people just resetting to a single role annoyed by the additional work
13:54:56FromGitter<ZarsBranchkin> alright, thanks. Just wanted to use simple game framework library in Nim, hopefuly can avoid manually writing the bindings as I write
13:55:11hal1dom96: one of my docopt PRs just got accepted, so the repo owner is looking at it :) I made another one following your advice on issue 32 https://github.com/docopt/docopt.nim/pull/36 but that one has conflicts and I'm not sure how it came to that.
13:57:06FromGitter<alehander42> @ZarsBranchkin which framework? if it has definition files, this would be good. otherwise if you're just trying it/using a small subset, you can still go far with the jsffi dynamic `.` or several handwritten definitions
13:58:14FromGitter<alehander42> @Araq I wonder about the server side karax: on one hand it can be very useful, on the other I am already used to write most stuff as SPA and my original server side html is usually a very small sceleton
13:58:16FromGitter<ZarsBranchkin> was looking at this: http://www.pixijs.com/
13:58:32FromGitter<ZarsBranchkin> How the API looks: http://pixijs.io/examples/#/basics/basic.js
13:59:19FromGitter<ZarsBranchkin> Haven't interfaced with javascript yet, so don't really know the workflow there
13:59:39FromGitter<ZarsBranchkin> Espeically since javascript doesn't have static types, so probably have to define all those manually
14:00:21FromGitter<alehander42> @ZarsBranchkin well you need to define only those types which you use, which depends a lot on your usecase
14:01:13FromGitter<ZarsBranchkin> Yeah, I guess writing the bindings as I go isn't that bad
14:01:42FromGitter<alehander42> you can also just use the stdlib jsffi `js` type which is like a dynamic catch-all, but you'll need a lot of casting and generally it's useful for experimentation/playing with an API , not really for longterm code
14:01:42FromGitter<ZarsBranchkin> I just found this framework anyway, so I don't know everything that it has to offer yet
14:02:36Araqalehander42: well yeah, it's mostly an either-or thing. if you use Karax for SPAs you don't need server-side karax
14:03:07Araqbut server-side karax is native Nim and not everybody likes the fluffy DOM stuff

14:34:40Araqwell instead of foo.uncheckedField I'd like to do quirky(foo.uncheckedField)
14:35:00Araqso that people know where the static checking is disabled
14:35:19FromDiscord<claude> can someone teach me what these lines do in the js output `var NTI104 = {size: 0,kind: 31,base: null,node: null,finalizer: null};`
14:35:51Araqclaude: it's Nim's RTTI
14:36:35Araqkudos to dom96 btw for bringing it up
14:36:48FromGitter<ZarsBranchkin> Seems reasonable, although probably will make pretty noisey code unless it's used as block macro
14:37:51AraqI wonder if it should be a general macro in sugar.nim
14:38:27Araqbrackets(foo.bar.baz) --> foo["bar"]["baz"]

16:01:43Araqmratsim: for-loop macros?
16:02:04FromGitter<mratsim> let me have a look :)
16:02:56Araqprobably I need to give the macro a 'typed' AST :P
16:03:17FromGitter<mratsim> I’ve been trying to beat assembly routines for bigints with pure Nim most of the day. I’m now within 10%.

17:02:07PMunchHmm, the `.` experimental operator is a bit weird to work with
17:02:19PMunchI guess that's why it's experimental :P
17:02:56PMunchI wanted to have my protobuf objects have optional fields without littering everything with options from the "options" module as they're so clunky to work with
17:03:36PMunchGot it almost working, but it seems I can't get it to return a var type for some reason..
17:07:48FromGitter<mratsim> I don’t suppose there is a direct acyclic graph library for Nim?
17:08:52FromGitter<mratsim> I will create thousands of nodes per second, each node can have multiple children and parents, so I suppose it needs a seq or something, but just thinking of the heap allocation *shrug*
17:09:44PMunchIf you know how many you're going to create you can always pre-allocate
17:10:21FromGitter<mratsim> Na, it’s for Monte-Carlo simulation of games of go. There is not enough memory on earth for that.
17:11:16PMunchAh :P
17:11:56FromDiscord<claude> thousands? that can't be enough
17:12:24FromGitter<mratsim> yes sorry, thousands of games —> 450 nodes per game
17:13:27FromGitter<mratsim> but some nodes will have 4 parents, some 10, some 1, (if multiple moves lead to the same board position)
17:15:31FromGitter<mratsim> I was thinking that since table can store multiple values for the same key, I can use that and iterate on all stored values for one key but I don’t think there is a proc for that exposed

17:24:24Araqmratsim: check out the test for it, macro m(x: ForLoopStmt)

17:28:04PMunchHmm, what do you mean by fragile solutions?
17:29:09Araqoh I just remembered, they are required for SharedRef hmmm
17:29:37Araqoh well... I will not decide anything.
17:30:14PMunchSharedRef?
17:32:02mirancan i nim-brag a bit? :)
17:32:12Araqor shared_ptr
17:32:25Araqsome smart pointer like C++ offers
17:32:31PMunchmiran, brag away :)
17:33:28miranso far i have used nim only for personal toy-projects and just for fun. when i needed to do "serious work" for my job, i have used python.
17:33:32FromGitter<mratsim> oh well, I’ll start with seq first, I’ll see how much creating thousands of seq per second costs :P. At least, I can copy paste Arraymancer code this way.
17:34:23mirannow i started working on a new thing at my work, and decided to use nim from the get-go
17:34:48PMunchNice!
17:34:57mirani thought i will struggle much much more, but this has been really a smooth sailing
17:35:29mirani had so much pleasure writing the code!
17:36:42miran(well, i still need python to plot/animate the results, but the numerical calculation is done in nim+neo)
17:37:51PMunchWhat are you using to plot with?
17:38:06FromGitter<ephja> no COBOL?
17:38:44miranephja: well, my mentor/boss is a big fan of fortran, so there's that.... :D
17:39:35miranPMunch: i save the results from nim in a .csv file, then use pandas to read that csv, and use matplotib.animate for animations
17:40:03PMunchAh, I guess that's one way to do it
17:40:21PMunchIs there a plotting library in Nim?
17:40:25miranPMunch: if there's a better way, i'm all ears :)
17:40:46miranthere are some libraries that i have found which should be ok for some simple plots
17:41:07mirani haven't tried them, this is based on the examples they provide
17:41:40PMunchWell, not necessarily better but you could always find a JS library and then output a simple HTML page with the data embedded
17:41:42miransee here: https://github.com/nim-lang/needed-libraries/issues/77#issuecomment-376223649
17:42:37miranPMunch: i have zero experience with JS and anything web-related :)
17:43:49PMunchAh
17:44:11PMunchIt should be pretty easy. But if you have something you're comfortable with then you can just stick to that :)
17:45:52PMunchThat plotly thing is pretty much what I was thinking of
17:46:07PMunchBut in a nice wrapper thing
17:46:08miranwell, matplotlib has the ugliest most unintuitive and inconsistent API ever, but it is quite powerful and i'm familiar with it
17:47:18*Trustable quit (Remote host closed the connection)
17:47:48FromGitter<ZarsBranchkin> Yeah, it's pretty annoying working with it, pretty clumy and messy workflow

18:26:26PMunchHmm, what is a "method" in Nim?
18:27:48FromDiscord<claude> proc with dynamic dispatch instead of static
18:28:16FromGitter<Bennyelg> Guys, when I declare a 'Type' when I should refer him to an object and when to ref of object?
18:28:17FromDiscord<claude> like the method gets resolved at runtime instead of compiletime
18:28:24FromGitter<Bennyelg> what is the good practice
18:28:58PMunchBennyelg: https://peterme.net/nim-types-originally-a-reddit-reply.html
18:29:07FromGitter<Bennyelg> Thanks.
18:29:12PMunchclaude, aha
18:29:20PMunchThat kinda makes sense I guess
18:29:28AraqBennyelg: 'ref object' if you're too used to Python, 'object' if you want to reap Nim's benefits
18:29:53FromGitter<Bennyelg> @Araq I am python developer but I want to learn nim way hehe
18:30:02FromGitter<Bennyelg> so I want to reap the benifits of Nim evantually
18:32:13miranBennyelg: object vs ref object is something that has bothered me for quite a lot of time (as i'm also coming from pyton's world). PMunch's reddit reply helped me to understand more what's going on. but the best method for learning was when i implemented both version and played with them to see the differences in practice
18:32:54FromGitter<Bennyelg> Yea, I am reading the reddit reply and will play with them and see
18:32:57FromGitter<Bennyelg> thanks.

18:59:58shashlickAraq: 'nimble install tissue' should work now
19:00:03FromGitter<Varriount> vantage: A generic
19:00:37vantagevarriont?
19:00:55vantagevarriount?
19:03:27FromGitter<zacharycarter> vantage: varriount doesn't maintain nimble and I believe the current version of nimble will create a test directory for you when you run nimble init.
19:03:37FromGitter<zacharycarter> I think expecting nimble to produce a CI pipeline for you is asking a bit much
19:03:49FromGitter<zacharycarter> nimble isn't something like yeoman
19:03:52FromGitter<zacharycarter> it's more akin to NPM
19:05:03FromGitter<Bennyelg> how I can print the addr of an object? ⏎ echo(addr(s))
19:05:04FromGitter<Bennyelg> ?
19:05:07vantagezacharycarter. i was just asking for clarification since i didnt understand what he meant with "generic"
19:05:17FromDiscord<claude> echo cast[int](addr(s))
19:05:36FromDiscord<claude> i think
19:06:49vantagezacharycarter, i just want a way to know that the packages i download work, and that they arent broken, at the moment theres really no way to do so.
19:07:42vantageeven just something on nimble's website would be good
19:08:19FromGitter<Bennyelg> anyone ? P
19:08:50miranBunnyelg: claude answered it, no?
19:09:10FromGitter<Bennyelg> oh I see didnt see it :/ sorry
19:09:11FromGitter<Bennyelg> thanks
19:11:10FromGitter<Bennyelg> ```code paste, see link``` ⏎ ⏎ how come it modified the same object but the address in memory is not the same? [https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim?at=5adb8cce15c9b031141f2397]
19:13:33*yglukhov quit (Remote host closed the connection)
19:13:45dom96vantage: even if a package has CI that doesn't mean much
19:13:56dom96because the CI won't be run if the package isn't updated
19:14:04dom96or it could be run with an old version of Nim
19:14:05FromGitter<zacharycarter> yeah - it's impossible to force someone to maintain something through tooling
19:14:38FromGitter<krux02> @zacharycarter A lot of people don't understand that.
19:14:40FromGitter<zacharycarter> I think you're describing something like yeoman maybe - something to like bootstrap a project with sensible defaults
19:14:50FromGitter<zacharycarter> @krux02 agreed
19:15:00FromDiscord<claude> @Bennyelg because when you do `addr(s)` you get the adress of the variable not the reference. you will get the same value if you do `addr(s[])` and `addr(o[])`
19:15:30FromGitter<Bennyelg> oh so there are 2 address?
19:15:35FromGitter<Bennyelg> I never heard of that before :|
19:16:06FromDiscord<claude> you can change ref objects to `let` and still mutate them
19:16:27FromDiscord<claude> in the case of `let`, addr(s) won't work
19:17:50FromGitter<Bennyelg> now I c , thanks!
19:20:15vantagezach dom96 well then could it be possible to mark specific versions as working or tested, i think a large part is that most of the package (that ive tried) lacks tests so its difficult to know if the package is broken or my setup is wrong. also a lack of readmes
19:21:10dom96Sure, a project that allows people to do this would be nice, but it's outside the scope of Nimble's responsibility.
19:21:28FromGitter<zacharycarter> I mean - I think this is like totally up to the maintainer and how much time they want to put into it
19:21:52FromGitter<zacharycarter> things like badges, etc... that display status on various SCMs I think are totally sufficient if the maintainer chooses to leverage them and CI solutions
19:22:10FromGitter<zacharycarter> I think tooling already exists for this issue - I just think you're trying to solve a problem that isn't solvable
19:22:16dom96Something similar that could be created is something that goes through all Nimble packages and checks which are depended on by most packages. That could be a useful metric for popularity/reliability.
19:22:16FromGitter<krux02> do any of you people know the editor 4coder?
19:22:26FromGitter<krux02> I know it from the Handmade Hero stream.
19:22:33FromGitter<zacharycarter> nimble.directory could be expanded to be more like npm
19:22:41FromGitter<zacharycarter> @krux02 I've heard of it / seen it
19:22:45FromGitter<zacharycarter> never used it
19:22:50FromGitter<krux02> And it has only a native interface for customization
19:22:51Araqbennyelg: a ref object's "ID" is cast[int](theRef), not cast[int](addr theRef), typical mistake
19:23:04FromGitter<krux02> that is a good idea istead of an editor that is Nim Only.
19:23:18FromGitter<krux02> who was it here who had the font rendering engine written?
19:23:20FromGitter<zacharycarter> NOVA Nim meetup tomorrow - it's happening folks!
19:23:32FromGitter<zacharycarter> font rendering engine?

19:23:46FromGitter<zacharycarter> it's just me and Varriount
19:23:53Araqkrux02: blasphemy -- a Nim only editor is cool. we only need more Nim users for this to be viable.
19:24:04FromGitter<zacharycarter> but we're going to solve world peace with Nim
19:24:05FromGitter<zacharycarter> or something

19:25:05Araqhuhm Nothern Virginia. sounds dirty.
19:26:17FromDiscord<claude> non-ref objects are immutable, you need `var` to mutate them
19:27:06FromDiscord<claude> and since non-ref objects don't point to anything `p[]` isn't valid
19:27:33FromGitter<Bennyelg> yep I notice thanks.
19:27:55FromGitter<zacharycarter> so does Araq

19:35:22FromGitter<zacharycarter> and if you don't have the time to talk bout it now - no worries - I can ping you about it later
19:35:27dom96zacharycarter: yes, but I don't see how async could cause that.
19:35:44dom96So you need to give more info
19:35:44FromGitter<zacharycarter> yeah... I'm not sure if it's related to async or what - it's weird
19:35:48FromGitter<zacharycarter> okay
