00:12:21FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> you're a running gag 😛
00:12:27FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> like me 😄
00:12:44FromDiscord<auxym> nim on jvm when? 😉
00:12:52FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> You can already do that
00:12:53FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> In reply to @ShalokShalom "you're a running gag": Shows up with a new project each time? XD
00:13:00FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> I told her multiple times 😅
00:13:11FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> ADHD brain makes me focus on many things at once
00:13:20FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> In reply to @ShalokShalom "I told her multiple": Only on GraalVM
00:13:22FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> Running Minecraft on Graal and then consuming LLVM or Wasm
00:13:28FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Also not with the most ideal interop
00:13:32FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> "Only"
00:13:43FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> Well, easier than with your solution ^^
00:13:46FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> GraalWASM exposes no host api access which makes it useless aha
00:14:06FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> Graal has LLVM too
00:14:20FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> Or you could add that
00:14:38FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> In reply to @ShalokShalom "Well, easier than with": Definitely but if i ever get the motivation (hah, funny joke) then I definitely wanna do native Java interop
00:14:55FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> That would contribute something ^^
00:15:06FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> Fair 🙂
00:15:06FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Depression has been kicking my ass tho and I haven't had the energy for any programming for a while

00:18:48FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> Or do you have an actual psychological cause for it?
00:19:06FromDiscord<ShalokShalom> I take Vitamin D, to prevent the first, recommended 😀
00:25:22FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> In reply to @ShalokShalom "Might be a winter": Near constant, i need to go to a gp and try working on getting a therapist to help me and stuff, I'm not very mentally healthy if yknow what I mean
00:26:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If you seasonal in all the seasons that's just depression
00:26:17FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> I have multiple issues but I'm the only one in the family who's actually aware of stuff like mental health, adhd... Etc, because most of my family either were born in an asian country or were raised by strict parents

00:46:34FromDiscord<normie> What makes Nim worth using over other languages?
00:46:47FromDiscord<normie> I have a list of languages that look interesting to me, and Nim is on it.
00:47:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Good compile time evaluation, a nice type system, macros, can be fast as hell.
00:48:45FromDiscord<normie> sent a long message, see http://ix.io/4nkV
00:49:00FromDiscord<normie> That is my list
00:50:45FromDiscord<huantian> Elixir is dynamic and functional
00:50:50FromDiscord<huantian> Nim isn’t that
00:51:02FromDiscord<normie> They are just languages that interest me
00:55:00FromDiscord<Yepoleb> I like that nim needs very little words to do a lot
00:55:21FromDiscord<Yepoleb> Like the snake language
00:58:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's a system programming language so it's the closest to Zig/Rust/C
00:58:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But it's also quite ergonomic

06:39:48FromDiscord<BobBBob> is there a tagged union/variant type in nim? ↵and also is there a right way to create a proc that returns a new object (ie a constructor)? Like is there a standard name for them?

06:42:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4nlN
06:45:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> For `ref` objects the convention is to use `new`
06:45:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Personally i prefer the latter version since it allows more generic code
06:50:40FromDiscord<BobBBob> So basically use a generic or use hungarian notation?
06:50:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes
06:52:45FromDiscord<BobBBob> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4nlP
06:52:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nim doesnt have return type inference

07:47:11FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You're on the devel manual
08:20:35FromDiscord<4zv4l> how do I get a pointer to a string ?↵each time I try I get `has no address`↵to copy a string into a buffer
08:24:26FromDiscord<4zv4l> my bad, that was because it was in a constant
08:25:26FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If you want a cstring it's `myString[0].addr`
08:42:24FromDiscord<4zv4l> return from a `bool` proc without saying true or false↵by default it returns true ?
08:43:05FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> All values are defaulted to `0` in nim
08:43:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Which means it returns false

08:46:11FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'd do the explicit check instead of rely on a boolean converter
08:49:04FromDiscord<4zv4l> alright, thank you ^^^↵will be explicit then↵even if `if not GetClipboardData()` would be explicit to me xD too bad it seems not to work as expected
08:49:40FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If `GetClipboardData()` returns either 0 or 1 you can do `if not bool(GetClipboardData())`
08:50:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `GetClipboardData()` should return the clipboard data not a boolean

12:24:58FromDiscord<Phil> oooff
12:25:17FromDiscord<Phil> I think my strategy at this point would be to use include
12:26:03FromDiscord<Phil> Like, have a dummy test file directly under test and then include the test files in the subdirectory
12:26:38FromDiscord<sOkam!> In reply to @Isofruit "I think my strategy": i stumbled today upon a project that did it by overriding task test with `nim c -r test/tester`

15:43:55FromDiscord<Coachonko> How is the mysql connector and why is there a third party lib for async mysql connection?
15:53:26FromDiscord<Phil> MySQL connector works near identical to any others, meaning it's functional.↵I haven't used anything built on top of it, I'd honestly rather use Pg because it has async packages from treeform or alternatively has norm available as orm
15:54:19FromDiscord<Coachonko> I do not mind writing raw queries for mysql, I don't want to learn a new database though
15:54:23FromDiscord<Phil> The main drawback on the official dB connector package is that it represents null values in a column as empty string
15:54:44FromDiscord<Coachonko> Hm ok that's worth noting
15:55:07FromDiscord<Phil> And the version that fixes it, ndb, doesn't implement MySQL
15:55:26FromDiscord<Phil> Only sqlite and postgres
15:55:40FromDiscord<Coachonko> ndb is stdlib?
15:55:46FromDiscord<Phil> Nope
15:56:35FromDiscord<Coachonko> When you say official connector, you mean the std/db_mysql?
15:57:02FromDiscord<Coachonko> (edit) "official connector," => "`official dB connector package`,"
16:00:01Amun-Ra🍵camellia🍵: it also sets wrong path to .css so one can't use nim doc ootb
16:03:14FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @Coachonko "When you say `official": Yeah.↵I called it dB connector because in Nim 2.0 that package was moved out of stdlib to the still official dbconnector package so they can update independently
16:03:47FromDiscord<Phil> And I use mostly Nim 2 (devel branch of compiler)
16:04:40FromDiscord<Coachonko> I probably should move to Nim 2
16:04:48*uics quit (Remote host closed the connection)
16:04:50FromDiscord<Coachonko> No point in starting to learn on 1.6
16:06:55FromDiscord<Phil> There really is not that much of a difference
16:07:00FromDiscord<Phil> As in literally
16:08:20FromDiscord<Phil> I updated by 10k loc protect from Nim 1.6 to 2 and the code changes themselves were like 5 minutes.↵What actually took time was updating my dependencies to import db_sqlite from a different place and that didn't change any of the actual code
16:08:44*uics joined #nim
16:09:28FromDiscord<Phil> Both is perfectly fine and there's not that anything new (on the high level) that you'll learn on devel.↵I'm on there for some of the library fixes that I refuse to be without for the most part
16:09:40FromDiscord<Phil> But those are semi obscure
16:11:09FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) removed "that"
16:12:30FromDiscord<Phil> Line, your choice is fine, I just want to de-mystify it. Unless you're really into memory management, the effectual changes for you from Nim 1.6 to Nim 2 is more like updating to Nim 1.8
16:12:55FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "to" => "to"" | "1.8" => "1.8'"
16:13:05FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "1.8'" => "1.8', if such a thing existed"
16:13:44FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "Line," => "Like,"
16:21:33FromDiscord<Coachonko> I see alright
16:21:40FromDiscord<Coachonko> Thank you for the information
16:26:40FromDiscord<Coachonko> I did get worried by the existance of a mysql driver that differs from the standard lib one. It made me assume that the standard lib one has a serious problem, because writing a native mysql connector is not stuff normal people do for fun
16:35:07FromDiscord<auxym> yeah it's the same, it's just that in v2 you'll have to nimble install it
16:45:08FromDiscord<Yandall> Is it possible to make a object with custom type as const? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/1072558641539977256/image.png
16:45:34FromDiscord<Yandall> (edit) "a" => "an"
16:50:42FromDiscord<auxym> yes. the warning is just telling you that your const is not used
16:51:34FromDiscord<auxym> nim has very strong compile-time evaluation, you can do all sorts of stuff to define consts, even call procs and whatever
16:54:24FromDiscord<fabricio> I think you can't use ref types for constants, since they exist exist only during compile time and are more like C `#define` directives compared to regular variables
16:54:50FromDiscord<fabricio> ref objects are supposed to be allocated on the heap
16:55:14FromDiscord<fabricio> and garbage-collected

19:39:01FromDiscord<jmgomez> In reply to @jmgomez "vcc ships with nim": it's an "interface" to msvc
19:39:40FromDiscord<4zv4l> .\vccexe.exe
19:39:42FromDiscord<4zv4l> this one ?
19:40:05FromDiscord<jmgomez> In reply to @4zv4l "opengl ? what's the": not sure, are you trying to use a raw version of lua? or are you building something else besides that?
19:40:29FromDiscord<jmgomez> yes, but if you do in your nim compilation call, `--cc:vcc` it should pick it
19:41:10FromDiscord<4zv4l> I get that with vcc
19:41:11FromDiscord<4zv4l> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4np7
19:41:24FromDiscord<4zv4l> In reply to @jmgomez "not sure, are you": I compiled `detours`
19:41:32FromDiscord<4zv4l> which created a `detours.lib`
19:41:43FromDiscord<4zv4l> and I try to make a `wrapper` for one of the function inside of it
19:41:53FromDiscord<jmgomez> I dont know what detours is, but yes. Linker issue
19:43:32FromDiscord<4zv4l> well, really weird
19:43:50FromDiscord<4zv4l> like if I add the right path to my linker maybe it should work ?
19:44:13FromDiscord<jmgomez> you need to specifically tell it where the library is
19:44:59FromDiscord<jmgomez> if you are trying to do bindings? I would suggest to have it working first on C/C++ so you remove the nim moving piece if you are not sure about it
19:45:18FromDiscord<jmgomez> because it isnt a Nim issue
19:45:24FromDiscord<4zv4l> `{.passL:"../detours/Detours/lib.X64/detours.lib".}`↵I have this in my code
19:45:45FromDiscord<4zv4l> and I import it this way
19:45:45FromDiscord<4zv4l> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4np8
19:46:03FromDiscord<jmgomez> and that may be fine the problem is that you are missing deps
19:46:10FromDiscord<jmgomez> outside nim's world
19:46:48FromDiscord<4zv4l> it also created a `detours.pdb` is it useful ?
19:47:22FromDiscord<jmgomez> no, that's for debugging
19:47:52FromDiscord<4zv4l> oh wait
19:47:54FromDiscord<jmgomez> does the project has a github repo or something?
19:47:54FromDiscord<4zv4l> it just compiled
19:47:59FromDiscord<4zv4l> yes it does
19:48:18FromDiscord<jmgomez> so it works now?
19:48:21FromDiscord<4zv4l> https://github.com/microsoft/Detours
19:48:24FromDiscord<4zv4l> I will run and see if it works
19:51:05FromDiscord<4zv4l> it seems to only compile with `vcc`
19:51:10FromDiscord<4zv4l> with `gcc` not working
19:51:25FromDiscord<4zv4l> and `vcc` is like super slow
19:51:47FromDiscord<jmgomez> ahh, I see it's from ms so not surprise there
19:55:10FromDiscord<4zv4l> how come vcc works but not gcc ?
19:56:06FromDiscord<4zv4l> I get `SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)`↵when calling the function
20:07:47FromDiscord<MartinSkou> Can i do something like: for var i in @[1,2,3]: so i can modify the value in the for loop?
20:09:42FromDiscord<MartinSkou> ok, got it: for i in l.intervals.mitems():
20:38:09FromDiscord<4zv4l> how do I import a structure from a C lib ?

21:24:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> it does, but it doesnt do what you expect probably↵(@4zv4l)
21:24:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It tells Nim there is a type with X name in C code and to use that
21:25:20FromDiscord<Zoom> Hey everyone. Long time no see. Do we have any working channels impl for arc/orc yet? Tried to compile something from half a year ago and I'm suspecting the deadlocks is not just me messing things up.
21:25:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Did you use https://github.com/nim-lang/threading/blob/master/threading/channels.nim?
21:26:32FromDiscord<Zoom> That's them.
21:27:49FromDiscord<Zoom> Tried with devel/stable, no difference, except devel prints a few warnings in `threadimpl.nim`
21:32:22*jmdaemon joined #nim
21:33:15FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Do you have a min reproduction?
21:33:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though i imagine it's related to https://github.com/nim-lang/threading/issues/19
21:39:20FromDiscord<Saint> @Phil Hey! I was wondering if you know if you make a different docker-compose for your integration tests
21:39:55FromDiscord<Saint> Also should I make a separate test data volume mount for my tests in my directory? Should I mount a folder in /tmp instead?
21:40:03FromDiscord<Saint> Just wondering if you knew what would be best practices

21:41:44FromDiscord<Zoom> I don't and I haven't prepared one last time either when I got the impression everybody already knew it's broken \:\|

22:02:26FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `e: var ExampleObject`
22:06:30FromDiscord<beans> aaah ok thanks
22:10:25FromDiscord<beans> In reply to @Elegantbeef "`e: var ExampleObject`": can you explain to me why I need `var` there? or rather what keyword is implied there by default rather than var?
22:12:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> By default parameters are immutable
22:12:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Doing `var` tells nim that it needs to be a mutable variable
22:14:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Implicitly it states "pass this by reference" but that's not something we need to concern ourselves wiht
22:26:41FromDiscord<Zoom> http://ix.io/4npH Here's what it boils down to. Perhaps I could strip more, but why waste a chance of getting some useful critique.
22:29:50FromDiscord<Zoom> If this worked, I have a lot of places I could stick this code, being a poor man's parallel/rush/xargs -P substitute.
22:31:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'd imagine the issue is the use of `recv` instead of `tryRecv` but hmmm
22:31:50FromDiscord<4zv4l> if anyone has time to kill↵mind trying to bind one function from `detours` and if it succeeds show me how he/she did ?↵cause I'm stuck with this for the whole day :/↵https://github.com/microsoft/Detours

23:07:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though i replaced it with `sleep(5)`
23:15:25FromDiscord<Zoom> I'm pretty sure I'm subscribed to #9616 which in some better universe could definitely help
23:23:00FromDiscord<Zoom> Also, warnings like this just have to have a ref link to an issue/discussion, or it looks like acknowledging defeat and giving up.
