| 09:58:35 | emery | I said I was unsure about converters but I did find a nice use for them, wrapping pointers in a var object and implicitly accessing the pointer member https://git.syndicate-lang.org/ehmry/nftables-actor/src/commit/9b56932d08c229e10f2034c4ba437a9fb762a094/src/nftables_actor/nftables.nim#L44 |

| 11:08:21 | Amun-Ra | I'm not a fan of hiding real types that way |
| 12:05:29 | strogon14 | Why not? Protects against leaks and nil access, does it not? |
| 12:45:34 | Amun-Ra | how using converter for that protects againt a leak and explicit setting the value doesn't? |

| 15:10:31 | strogon14 | I was referring to the encapsulation of the pointer in an object (aka "hiding"), not just the converter. The latter just makes it more convenient, so you don't have to write nft.getCtx when pasing an Nft object to a wrapped function that expects a Ctx pointer. |

| 16:08:39 | Amun-Ra | if it's something very frequent to write I'd consider wrapping it into converter; otherwise I'd always vote for explicity |
