07:00:20Araqwow
07:00:34Araqthat's so cool :-)
07:00:49AraqI just realize now how much I wanted this
07:00:54Araq:D
07:01:12narimirani'm glad i could make you happy :)

07:02:45*mech422 quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
07:03:22narimiranbtw, have you seen the new 0.19.2 branch? (all cherry picks are made with -x)
07:09:32Araqyeah the plan for today is to make the nightlies build 0.19.2
07:18:38*mech422 joined #nim
07:19:45Araqnarimiran, minor thing, the branch is the 0.19 branch, not 0.19.2
07:21:47Araqthere is also an interesting problem, if devel will become 0.20, what is its devel version, it cannot be 0.19.1
07:22:12narimiranok, i can change the branch name, but please tell me the exact name you would like to use
07:22:32Araqwe could use 0.19.3 for devel
07:22:43narimirandevel = 0.20.dev ? can we use letters?
07:22:53Araqno
07:23:19narimiranthen it is 0.19.3 until it becomes 0.20.0?
07:28:33*kapil____ quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
07:28:44Araqyeah
07:29:33Araqit implies there won't be a 0.19.4
07:30:00Araqmaybe we should use 0.20.1 and with the release it becomes 0.20.0, no screw that
07:30:24narimiranwell, 0.19.4 can be a bugfix version, if we find some showstopping regression, before 0.20 is released
07:30:35narimirandevel = 0.19.99? :D
07:33:06Araqnarimiran, branch name is version-0-19
07:33:21narimiranok, jokes aside, 0.19.9 *does* look better (more logical) than 0.20.1, and it allows for more 0.19.x stable versions if necessary
07:33:32narimiranok, will change it
07:33:37Araqyeah let's use that number then
07:33:52Araq0.19.9 is cool
07:35:27narimiran"version-0-19" is up
07:36:12Araqok cool, we have more fixes for 0.19
07:36:31Araqso if I were to commit another [backport] how would it work?
07:37:43narimirancherry-picking + tagging a release?
07:38:07narimiranso on the branch "version-0-19" you have tags 0.19.2, 0.19.4, etc
07:38:26Araqyes, but I'm asking for a cherry-pick tool
07:40:35narimirana tool, when run, would cherry pick all the [backport] commits. (not the fixes without it, because we want to spend the least amount on effort on 0.19 branch, and focus on 0.20 and beyond)
07:40:52Araqsorry, I mean, does it exist already?
07:41:06narimiranit doesn't yet :)
07:44:07Araqok. I can write one but it will be fun to figure out which commits are new
07:45:38narimiranyou should focus on more important/harder things ;)
07:46:04Araqbtw we're still hiring
07:46:26narimiran:)
07:47:58narimirani'm not satisfying the conditions, i'm an amateur
07:49:51Araqwe need to put money on issues
07:53:50Araqso what do we do with Complex128* = Complex[float64]
07:53:57Araqit's terrible
07:54:29narimiranyeah, the more i look at it, the more i don't like it
07:54:37AraqComplexD for the float64 variant, ComplexF for the float32 variant?
07:55:10narimiranmy first idea was to be similar to the "usual conventions", but 128 for f64 seems kinda weird
07:57:10Araqit gets worse once we add float128 support to Nim
07:57:24AraqComplex256 = Complex[float128]
07:58:18narimiranhow would you that one with the letter suffix?
07:58:37Araqthat's a ComplexH then for "huge"
07:58:46Araqor something like that
07:59:00AraqComplexT for tremendous
07:59:09Araqit scales :P

13:21:30PMunchThat would actually be pretty cool
13:22:10PMunchA fully stand-alone Nim program with integrated OS
13:23:31Araqthe Ocaml people are doing similar things
13:23:49PMunchYeah I saw that
13:25:00PMunchBut since IncludeOS requires C++, it should theoretically be possible to use Nim to generate that C++

13:28:11*Ils quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
13:40:42PMunchWould the GC be able to work with IncludeOS?
13:45:56Araqthe GC doesn't require an OS, it just deals with memory
13:46:31PMunchBut it doesn't run on microcontrollers. Or is that just because it's silly and doesn't make much sense?
13:47:05Araqdepends on what "microcontroller" means
13:47:46PMunchI was thinking of a typical Arduino
13:52:42PMunchIt would be pretty cool to have a GC'd Nim VM that starts in under a second and can utilize 100% of it's allocated resources
13:52:57PMunchOr at least close to

14:08:27*leorize joined #nim
14:09:57*Aareon_ joined #nim
14:13:12Araqthe biggest problem with a GC is not that it's some mystical thing that keeps you from writing an OS kernel
14:13:48Araqit's that tends to encourage programs that are not careful with memory
14:14:18Araqand that it is really hard to write a GC that doesn't have a space overhead of a factor of 2 compared to manually managed memory
14:14:34PMunchWhy 2 specifically?
14:15:31Araqthat's what studies showed
14:16:11Araqone reason is that the GC cannot run all the time as that would be too expensive so it lets you allocate until it kicks in
14:16:34Araqoften that threshold is 2*currentMemUsage
14:17:54Araqa tracing GC starts with O(heap size) and then you need optimizations like generations to make it behave
14:18:30Araqmanual memory management starts with O(1) for an O(1) allocator (that Nim uses btw)
14:19:19PMunchHuh, interesting
14:20:30Araqit's a wonder GCs work as well as they do :-)
14:20:58PMunchYeah I remember the first time I really learned how a GC works, I was shocked :P
14:21:26FromDiscord_<🐍 Aareon 🐳> Any other good studies on GC? I know Go's is known to be either really good, or really in the way
14:23:28PMunchBy the way http://ix.io/1qJQ would it be possible to sort the list of potential calls based on some metric. Cause that output is pretty annoying to debug..
14:23:45PMunchSimplest would probably be sort by mismatch position

15:07:40*leorize joined #nim
15:07:56Araqit's not critical but the code for it already exists
15:10:28Araqyou can also do it if you want to
15:12:30Araqthe 'when false' blocks in semcall.nim proc presentFailedCandidates
15:12:40PMunchAh, that should be an easy fix :P
15:12:48PMunchWhy was it in a when false block?
15:13:10Araqbecause the compiler then lies about the mismatches, it filters them
15:13:20Araqso we need a --showAllCandidates switch
15:13:29Araqand when matches are hidden the compiler should say
15:13:45Araq"Compile with --showAllCandidates to show all"
15:14:05PMunchOh it filters them, hmm
15:14:13PMunchI'll have to take a look at that
15:14:17Araqwell the filtering is smart
15:14:20PMunchBut yeah that sounds like a good solution

18:39:35rayman22201Hi everybody! What can we do to fix the gitter bridge? We are lonely over there, and sad because we are missing all the cool stuff like Araq giving tidbits of wisdom about GC's
18:40:22FromDiscord_<Shield> when did gitter bridge break?
18:40:27Araqah ...
18:40:59rayman22201It's been broken for about a day and a half now I think

19:15:21FromDiscord_<Epictek> rayman22201: make your own gitter bridge in nim?
19:15:41rayman22201lol. I prefer not to duplicate work :-P
19:17:46rayman22201does anybody know who normally maintains the bridge?
19:17:49FromDiscord_<Epictek> It wouldn't be duplicate if it was written in nim since the existing one isn't. So it would already be an improvement
19:18:16FromDiscord_<Epictek> Also there are many ways the bridge could be better
19:18:22Araqoprypin is responsible, I think

21:22:38FromGitter<zacharycarter> sorry - github
21:23:10FromGitter<zacharycarter> I kind of have an idea - but I'd like to bounce it off someone and maybe collaborate
21:23:12PMunchOooh hybrid, cool theme
21:23:12FromGitter<zacharycarter> if no one is interested though - I'll just try to put together something myself
21:23:29Araqxace, that's widely documented behaviour
21:24:22xaceAraq: im still learning the language and haven't encountered this documentation yet. any hints on where I can read about it?
21:24:51PMunchWhat do you plan on writing it in zacharycarter? When I jammed I used my gamelib to try it out
21:24:53xacei've read the tutorial part1, some skimming through the manual and checking peoples code on github, currently checking out nim in action
21:25:05Araqhttps://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#procedures-command-invocation-syntax
21:25:13Araq"Function calls with no arguments still needs () to distinguish between a call and the function itself as a first class value."
21:26:03xaceInteresting, thank you, this helps a lot :-)
21:26:27FromGitter<iffy> Is there a programmatic way to find `nimbase.h` on the filesystem?
21:26:36FromGitter<iffy> using nim, I mean :)
21:27:08FromGitter<zacharycarter> PMunch: good question - i'd like to use Nim but as far as what libraries or engine I use - I guess it'd depend on what the art style is
21:27:16FromGitter<zacharycarter> I'm thinking about using godot + gdnative and going 3d
21:27:32FromGitter<zacharycarter> but my idea might be a bit too ridiculous
21:27:34PMunchOh cool, I've been meaning to try Godot with Nim
21:27:35FromGitter<zacharycarter> I don't think so though
21:27:59Araqxace, to be fair though, the tut1 needs some serious rework or we need a cheat sheet
21:27:59FromGitter<zacharycarter> well PM me if you want to discuss
21:28:06PMunchNot a huge fan of the whole integrated editor thing that is common with Unity and Godot, but I'd still like to try it
21:28:06FromGitter<zacharycarter> oh you're on irc shoot
21:28:15PMunchI have a Gitter account as well :)
21:28:16FromGitter<tim-st> @iffy maybe not best but you could call `nim dump` and take last line
21:28:26FromGitter<zacharycarter> ah - sweet!
21:28:33AraqI used to have a the syntax on 2 slides and then you can read Nim code
21:28:52PMunchAnd I don't think any idea is too ridiculous for a game jam
21:28:53FromGitter<iffy> @tim-st it's something; better than guessing
21:29:45PMunchFirst jam I was on had a morph theme, and someone created a game where you played as the land-dwelling Steven Seagal morphing into the airborne Steven Seagull
21:31:54FromGitter<tim-st> @iffy or better iterate over the list and look for the file without recursive
21:32:25xaceAraq: Yeah, i noticed part 2 mentioning that the tutorials may be outdated, nevertheless tut1 got me interested. The language has many traits that I like and I hope to make it my new "main" goto programming language, infact hoping to get involved in developing nim once i get more used to the environment of nim
21:33:45PMunchxace, I think you'll like what you find
21:33:46FromGitter<tim-st> Araq: would you allow a subset of table procs used with kv array gotten by `{...}` like `var y = {"a": 1, "b": 2}; doAssert y["a"] == 1` ?
21:34:01PMunchThe docs might be a bit rough around the edges from time to time, but the language is great
21:34:50xacePMunch: yeah, but its so simple to look things up, just clicking the source button brings me to very simple code
21:35:22Araqoh yay somebody uses these :-)
21:35:29PMunchOh yeah, I use them all the time :)
21:36:55*darithorn joined #nim
21:39:14dom96xace: You don't need parenthesis when the context isn't ambiguous

21:44:21*FromGitter quit (Remote host closed the connection)
21:44:39*FromGitter joined #nim
21:46:36xacedom96: yeah. im still wrapping my head around the language. but i think that for my personal [rpjects ill avoid command invocation in expressions
21:47:26shashlickAraq: so it fails on windows and linux, although I'm not sure how the "struct X" is causing a sizeof failure
21:47:36Araqusually that feeling passes by quickly
21:47:58Araqand laziness wins over ()
21:48:19oprypin@rayman22201, you know what? thanks for bringing up that delay because there really was a horrible delay -- each message would appear only after another message was sent
21:48:29shashlickfor example, CLookToRead2 is a `typedef struct` converted to type object by c2nim with importc "struct X"
21:48:39*dddddd joined #nim
21:49:01Araqshashlick, I think we have to revert this change and only do it with --barbaricStructs:on
21:49:15shashlickwhen compiled, generated C code has sizeof(struct CLookToRead2) which results in ```
21:49:17shashlickinvalid application of ?sizeof? to incomplete type ?struct CLookToRead2?
21:49:18shashlick NTI_Bg4HPUgE9a1cNEhvU2DjizA_.size = sizeof(struct CLookToRead2);
21:49:19shashlick```
21:49:21xacehaha, yeah. atm the language is occupying an unhealthy amount of my mental thoughts, but i like it
21:49:39shashlickwell, so c2nim generates the correct thing but nim compiles it wrong
21:49:50shashlickand this fails with 0.18.0 and 0.19.0, and devel
21:50:44FromGitter<rayman22201> np @oprypin Excuse to rewrite it nim? :-P
21:50:45FromGitter<zetashift> @zacharycarter @PMunch I could hop on to the gdnative Nim as I'm currently writing some code in it!
21:51:36oprypinrayman22201, well i fixed it anyway. but nah, never again - not touching IRC with a ten foot pole
21:51:37*nsf quit (Quit: WeeChat 2.3)
21:51:47PMunchOh cool, got more knowledge than me then :P
21:51:54PMunchzetashift ^
21:52:24FromGitter<rayman22201> lol. I don't blame you. Glad you fixed the bug though
21:52:24FromGitter<zetashift> well it's mostly GDScript 1:1 in Nim, trying to make more code nim-ish
21:53:14PMunchWell I've never even used GDScript
21:54:13FromGitter<zacharycarter> @zetashift - I have my idea now
21:54:24FromGitter<zacharycarter> if anyone is curious - I'll share - would love feedback
21:55:58shashlickAraq: I'm going to lock nimgen to a specific c2nim #, hopefully that should be enough
21:56:11FromGitter<zetashift> @PMunch it's python with some different keywords
21:56:33FromGitter<iffy> If I'm getting ⏎ ⏎ ``` "_NimMain", referenced from:``` ⏎ ⏎ what include directory do I need to add? This is for obj-c [https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim?at=5bdcc8115905a9195544fae8]
21:56:41FromGitter<zetashift> @zacharycarter love to hear it, in a PM or maybe in the offtopic channel?
21:56:58FromGitter<zacharycarter> good idea - will share in OT
21:57:47dom96oprypin: IRC? Is Gitter not the problem here?
21:59:04FromDiscord_<Shield> what is it with Nim and IRC?
21:59:48oprypindom96, this time it's actually Crystal's fault but IRC is generally scary to handle, that was the previous problem I ran into
22:00:11Araqshashlick, nah, I didn't like this change
22:00:18Araqwe should revert it
22:00:19FromDiscord_<Shield> and gdnative with Nim is only worth it if you want to write critical code, not worth it otherwise, gdscript is really close to nim (pythonic, can inherite one type..)
22:00:21dom96oprypin: What specific part about it was scary?
22:00:40oprypinwell, for one, to make it work I added `sleep 10`
22:00:57oprypinbefore sending privmsg nickserv for authentication
22:01:12dom96There is a specific numeric you need to wait for
22:01:14oprypinotherwise it doesnt work. i guess i'm supposed to listen to what the server is saying
22:02:20dom96I hate to brag but NimBot has been running (fairly) solidly for the past 5 years
22:04:06PMunchShield, what do you have against IRC?
22:04:44FromDiscord_<Shield> Nim with gdscript had some annoying quirks like you can't modify a vector field without assigning a new vector, it's the same case with most godot types, and the crash message won't tell you that vec.x = 10 isn't allowed
22:06:58FromDiscord_<Shield> I was asking oprypin why he's not touching IRC code and I thought he tried to made it in Nim and that's why he switched to Crystal
22:07:24shashlickAraq: hold off
22:07:37shashlicki don't think it is that specific change, let me do some testing and complain more concretely
22:07:47shashlicki'm testing each commit to verify
22:10:57shashlickAraq: this specific commit breaks me - https://github.com/nim-lang/c2nim/commit/be3e8b9ab81c25cc0cb10b1ae117da57f71560e3
22:11:02shashlicknot the struct one
22:11:20shashlickugh - that is the struct one 😐
22:13:13shashlickok - so ya, it is breaking the sizeof() - i'm not sure how
22:16:58*citycide quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
22:19:17PMunchWell shit
22:19:38PMunchSo the SublimeText LSP plugin appears to not follow the spec properly..
22:20:02PMunchWhich means it doesn't verify properly
22:31:32*darithorn quit ()
22:32:29FromDiscord_<Epictek> don't bother with sublime for now then?
22:32:48FromDiscord_<Epictek> They should fix the plugin, you shouldn't have to workaround it
22:33:24PMunchIt's what I was using to debug it though..
22:39:38PMunchI guess I could add a lax mode to the JSON verifier
22:39:52PMunchWhich allows other fields

22:45:27*zachk quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
22:52:47FromGitter<zetashift> @Shield huh? you can set the x, y's from fields of types and vectors
22:53:24FromGitter<zetashift> e.g. `var foo = vec2()` and then `foo.x = 23.3993929292`

23:18:56*zachk joined #nim
23:21:12PMunchTime to actually learn how to use nimsuggest I guess :P
23:25:37FromDiscord_<hollywoo> What can you all recommend in the way of a simple 2d game library for Nim? I just want to make a text-based RPG, really, but I'd like to be able to have sprites for the edges of frames, and include sound and music and things changing colors, so it seems like the easy thing to do is still to use a library.
23:26:13FromDiscord_<Shield> @zetashift I meant the fields of position, which is a field of node2D, you can't do position.x = ..., you have to do position = vec2(..,position.y)

23:29:15PMunchhollywoo, I've used SDL with my SDLGamelib project
23:29:30PMunchShould have all you need and more :)
23:30:05FromDiscord_<hollywoo> Cool. Now to go figure out how to set it up.
23:30:08FromDiscord_<hollywoo> Thanks!
23:31:46PMunchWell, it should be pretty simple
23:33:25PMunchhttp://ix.io/1qMH/Nim
23:33:37PMunchA little sample from a test of the collisions system I made
23:34:07FromDiscord_<hollywoo> Thanks!
23:39:38FromGitter<skellock> pmunch: nice favicon
23:39:42FromGitter<tim-st> can someone confirm that c code used with nim should work with `nim cpp`?
23:39:47PMunchHuh?
23:39:57PMunchOh yeah, ix.io's favicon..
23:40:12PMunchOne of the few things about that site I don't like
23:46:57FromGitter<zetashift> @Shield oh yeah that could be annoying
23:48:32FromDiscord_<hollywoo> So, I can compile programs from within VS Code, but Windows Powershell doesn't recognize nim as a command. I know it has to do with the path, but I don't actually know how to fix it.
23:48:37FromDiscord_<hollywoo> I'm also not sure how to use nimble.
23:49:08PMunchIf you get it in your path it's as easy as "nimble install <package>"
23:49:10dom96Google "how to add directories to PATH"
23:49:20dom96and add wherever nim.exe is
23:49:26dom96and wherever nimble.exe is
23:49:36FromDiscord_<hollywoo> Thanks!
23:50:04PMunchdom96, is there a minimal sample on how to work with nimsuggest?
23:50:22FromGitter<zetashift> @Shield I think that's a limit of the GDNative binding though one could add a position.x setter to the Node2D class no?
