| 04:28:16 | FromDiscord | <.tokyovigilante> On my ongoing project to build wayland bindings for nim, I'm struggling to import the generated protocol extensions, there's a whole bunch of inline functions in the headers which I've reimplemented in nim, but then there are also numerous typedefs, enums, and interfaces defined as structs of function pointers which Futhark is not processing, and are very tedious to redefine in Nim. For example, the xdg-shell extension header run |

| 04:29:31 | FromDiscord | <.tokyovigilante> At the rate I'm going I may be better off reimplementing the wayland-scanner tool to generate the extension code in Nim directly rather than C. |
| 04:29:46 | FromDiscord | <.tokyovigilante> Is there any reason Futhark would not produce any output for this header? |

| 07:48:55 | FromDiscord | <leorize> it's likely that you can only reuse the codegen |

| 20:03:09 | FromDiscord | <abraham> That's a bit silly - I learned about Arena memory management from C++ developers - who have to hand-roll all their own memory management anyway. And there's nothing stopping us from writing our own Arena allocators in Nim. |
| 20:04:15 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> Right but there is something stopping you from using one with std/json for instance |
| 20:05:32 | FromDiscord | <abraham> Yes, I know the standard complaint. And I sort of rage-quit Nim for awhile over it... until I realized that the alternatives were D, Go, C, Rust... all of which require you to forgo large portions of the standard library when doing "low level" development - just like Nim. |
| 20:07:57 | FromDiscord | <abraham> And I guess some people like Rust's memory management or Zig's syntax - but they're not for me. |
