01:03:31FromDiscord<undersquire> there's gotta be a cleaner way of working with object variants in nim
01:03:53FromDiscord<undersquire> no way the code I just wrote is the best way
01:04:05nrds<Prestige99> Can you link an example?
01:04:18FromDiscord<undersquire> yes one sec
01:04:20nrds<Prestige99> I agree though, it isn't very ergonmic
01:04:24FromDiscord<undersquire> https://github.com/jet-lang/rocket/blob/main/src/rocket/value.nim
01:04:30FromDiscord<undersquire> this is a pain
01:04:34FromDiscord<undersquire> no way this is how ur suppose to do this
01:05:32FromDiscord<undersquire> is there a way of doing this with generics or something?
01:06:24nrds<Prestige99> Maybe with a macro? I'm not sure. Maybe Elegantbeef would know
01:06:55FromDiscord<undersquire> cause there is no way my code there is the proper way of implementing that lol
01:07:11FromDiscord<undersquire> it feels way to overkill
01:07:14FromDiscord<undersquire> idk
01:08:15FromDiscord<TechnoRazor> I'm starting to use nimgl (https://github.com/nimgl/nimgl) and noticed it takes longer to compile than I would like (over 10 seconds). Is there a way to load nimgl dynamically? If so, would it significantly improve the compile-time of my program?
01:08:23FromDiscord<undersquire> In reply to @nrds "<Prestige> Maybe with a": maybe a macro, but i feel like that would make it more complex
01:11:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I mean you can use a macro for that and i've got one that could help but i dont really like the API so much so tend to not whore it out https://github.com/jet-lang/rocket/blob/main/src/rocket/value.nim
01:11:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Sometimes it helps if you copy links properly
01:11:48FromDiscord<undersquire> idk why it didnt copy the link right lol
01:12:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I mean i didnt \:D
01:12:02FromDiscord<undersquire> so the way im doing it is fine then? (disregarding macros)
01:12:37FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well we might be able to clean it up without macros
01:12:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Gotta get off this unusable WM to actually see if i can help
01:12:55FromDiscord<undersquire> lmfao
01:13:22FromDiscord<undersquire> i wish u could use generics in objects
01:13:33FromDiscord<undersquire> i mean being able to use them in the way im using them
01:33:52FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well if you want to take a look at a manually made unpack method https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3vj6
01:34:56FromDiscord<undersquire> Oh nice that is a lot cleaner
01:35:35FromDiscord<undersquire> ty lol ill play around with that
01:57:07nrds<Prestige99> neat
01:59:34FromDiscord<undersquire> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Well if you want": ty lol this really worked well
02:00:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Good
02:02:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> prestige i've got multi monitor support working! \:D
02:02:23FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But oh boy are there bugs
02:02:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But ehhh https://streamable.com/o5axrw
02:03:25nrds<Prestige99> nice!
02:05:10FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Think there are some issues with gnome/electron apps so that's fun
02:05:41FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Have 0 atoms enabled presently which i assume is one reason it's odd
02:06:13nrds<Prestige99> yeah that could be an issue
02:09:26FromDiscord<@bracketmaster-5a708063d73408ce4> maybe I've just been up to late, but shouldn't this work?↵↵type Cursor\ = tuple[line\_no, col\_no, byte\_index\: uint]↵echo Cursor(line\_no\: 2, col\_no\: 3, byte\_index\: 29)
02:09:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Tuples dont use object constructors
02:12:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3vjf
02:12:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Those are how you'd make a cursor tuple, though i'd argue it's silly to use a named tuple
02:14:28*auxym quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
02:19:05FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> I like using named tuples for return types
02:19:38*arkurious quit (Quit: Leaving)
02:20:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well that's more fine since it's not a concrete type that can be abused 😀
02:21:10FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Having a type def for named tuples just is weird to me, sure you get unpacking but anyone joe schmoe can easily and accidentally create a replica that fits the bill
02:23:10FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Purely depends on how you use it, so just ignore me as normal
02:41:48FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> I think named tuples as return types would be nicer if we could use the "named" part in tuple destructuring
02:42:16FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> like `let (a: int, b: string) = ...` or something that maps the label names to the variables
02:46:37FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you mean `a: lineNo` for instance?
02:48:57FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> yeah kinda
02:49:06FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> similar to how you can destructure objects in js for example
02:53:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> \insert macro comment here
03:01:19FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> ew
03:01:32FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> would be nice to allow it in let/var decls
03:01:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It would be, but that requires having to restructure those
03:05:05FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> would it be a breaking change though?
03:05:06FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @haxscramper "In C++ you have": `using RefObj = Obj`?
03:10:53FromDiscord<TechnoRazor> How would I know which C compiler Nim is using?
03:11:31FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I could be wrong but i think it default to gcc everywhere but mac where it uses clang?
03:13:20nrds<Prestige99> https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimc.html#compiler-selection
03:16:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Cmon angry banana it works fine 😛 https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3vjs
03:38:05FromDiscord<undersquire> are there any other hobby os/kernels in nim besides dom96's ?
03:38:08FromDiscord<undersquire> (edit) "dom96's ?" => "dom96's?"
03:48:20FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I dont know of any others

04:53:47FromDiscord<PsychoClay> is there a way to get the nimble package version as a variable?
05:26:30FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> playing with nim+ctags in vim, would be nice to get procs/methods listed by the type of their first argument, has anyone done this before?
05:27:00FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> since it's common for lots of procs to have the same name in nim just with different arguments
05:28:14FromDiscord<Rika> Does Nim work with Ctags??
05:28:18FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> yep
05:29:11nrds<Prestige99> I didn't know people still used ctags
05:29:26FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> the output is not so useful though
05:29:39FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> maybe i should use something else
05:30:11nrds<Prestige99> I just use nimlsp with neovim
05:30:31FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> any tips of getting a useful outline of a nim file in vim?
05:30:48FromDiscord<Rika> I’m thinking of switching to Nim LSP but I want my semantic highlighting so
05:30:59FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @impbox "any tips of getting": Via Ctags?
05:31:31FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> @Rika i don't really care how it's implemented as long as the output is useful
05:32:03nrds<Prestige99> lsp has an outline command or whatever
05:32:22FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> nrds, ok i'll check it out, thanks
05:32:22nrds<Prestige99> I just press a keybinding and I can fuzzy search stuff like proc names
05:32:23FromDiscord<Rika> Is it implemented on the Nim LSP server though
05:32:31nrds<Prestige99> yes
05:32:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> calling prestige nrds is pretty nice
05:32:53nrds<Prestige99> haha
05:33:36nrds<Prestige99> I'm using nimlsp and alaviss/nim.nvim impbox - if that helps
05:33:49FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> i like having the sidebar outline, but i'd want it listed by type of first argument https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/873801145510928384/unknown.png
05:35:48nrds<Prestige99> I wonder if you can just search with regex and create a quickfix list
05:35:56nrds<Prestige99> and on save you could update it
05:42:47FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> getting better https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/873803405762629642/unknown.png
05:42:53FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> i think i can probably do it through ctags
05:43:25FromDiscord<Rika> Wouldn’t quick fix be better
05:44:20FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> hmm i'm not familiar with quickfix
06:02:55*rockcavera quit (Remote host closed the connection)
06:16:49FromDiscord<Rika> Might be time to try to become familiar with it, it’s pretty nice to use
06:26:19FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> seems useful but i can't seem to find any docs on how to generate a quickfix list
06:26:38FromDiscord<Rika> :h quickfix
06:26:41FromDiscord<Rika> Perhaps?
06:27:04FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> yeah, that tells me how to use the quickfix window
06:27:06FromDiscord<Rika> I think you can make one with grep
06:27:16FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> but not how to make a script to output a quickfix list
06:27:47FromDiscord<Rika> setqflist()
06:28:00FromDiscord<Rika> Did this one help
06:28:08FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> will read that and have a look
06:32:48FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> ehh, seems really awkward to use quickfix to generate your own list
06:32:54FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> i think i'll stick with ctags
07:19:52FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> woot, kinda what i was going for https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/873827835272372254/unknown.png
07:21:15FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> it's great except for procs where the first argument shouldn't be treated as their object/class, but rather something passed to them like setState(GameState)
07:36:59*max22- joined #nim
07:38:13FromDiscord<PsychoClay> whats the difference between the re and nre library?
07:39:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I believe Nre is a newer written API due to issues with re, and re remains for legacy support
07:40:12FromDiscord<Rika> Yet re is the more commonly used library
07:45:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea i'm sorta suprised both are reachable through searching
07:49:23FromDiscord<Rika> I believe it’s probably because the api of nre is less “usable” to some extent
07:51:20FromDiscord<PsychoClay> is compile time file reading a thing?
07:51:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `staticRead`
07:53:50FromDiscord<konsumlamm> In reply to @Rika "I believe it’s probably": i think the main reason is that re is linked in the stdlib overview and nre isn't
07:54:05FromDiscord<konsumlamm> i dien't even know that nre exists for a long time
07:54:16FromDiscord<konsumlamm> (edit) "dien't" => "didn't"
07:55:33FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> and the re module doesn't mention nre exists

11:24:49FromDiscord<haxscramper> And you always need to built code with nimble

11:25:59FromDiscord<PsychoClay> wait so its always "Unknown"?
11:28:41FromDiscord<PsychoClay> ah nvm i see how it works

11:48:08FromDiscord<haxscramper> @PsychoClay\:
11:48:25FromDiscord<haxscramper> Because there can be only one `-d:NimblePkgVersion` at a time

You can enforce it being a raw string in arguments of functions, see examples here https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manual_experimental.html#term-rewriting-macros-parameter-constraints

14:30:26FromDiscord<Rika> what does it do
14:30:37FromDiscord<juan_carlos> For JS theres `debugger()`.
14:31:17FromDiscord<TechnoRazor> In reply to @Rika "what does it do": It would basically act as a breakpoint, pausing the debugger.
14:32:01FromDiscord<TechnoRazor> VSCode breakpoints work, but I was wondering if there was a way to include it in the code itself.
14:34:23FromDiscord<Rika> usually it is the job of the debugger and not the code
14:46:50FromDiscord<TechnoRazor> Right, I was just curious as I was following a C++ tutorial that used it. I found that `{.emit:"builtin_trap();".}` works well enough with GCC anyway.

15:12:17FromDiscord<juan_carlos> Depends what you are doing.
15:17:03FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> Say I'm just doing a simple project that has a top level directory and a `src` directory, I have a nim file in src that I am compiling from the command line at the top level directory which calls `{.compile: "private/glad/glad.c".}`
15:17:54FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> Basically my issue is I am unsure where to put c source and headers within my project so that all of the includes are happy
15:18:11FromDiscord<juan_carlos> You can get the directory at compile time.

15:19:36FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> What do you mean? `{.compile: "private/glad/glad.c".}` attempts to compile the file, but `glad.c` does `#include <glad/glad.h>`, and the compiler apparently doesn't know where that is.
15:26:32FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> How do I get the compiler to know where the header is?
15:28:02FromDiscord<juan_carlos> `const headerPath = currentSourcePath().splitPath.head / "file.h"` kinda something like that?.
15:28:19FromDiscord<juan_carlos> Adapt to your folder structure etc
15:34:02FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> I see, so it was the `private` folder I had that was messing with it.

16:23:43FromDiscord<konsumlamm> if you just want a different name for the same type, leave out the `distinct`
16:33:27FromDiscord<planetis> {.borrow\: ..} look at the manual
16:41:21*max22- joined #nim
16:42:58FromDiscord<Alea> Is there anywhere that I could find some comprehensive examples for httpclient? The docs don't go very in depth
17:15:52FromDiscord<planetis> it makes sense to use distincts in order to forbid ops like adding points others have already done it
17:40:19FromDiscord<dom96> In reply to @Alea "Is there anywhere that": What sort of thing are you looking for?
17:42:18FromDiscord<Alea> In reply to @dom96 "What sort of thing": Mostly extracting and processing the data in a get request
17:42:30FromDiscord<Alea> The docs cover packing it into a post request pretty well
17:50:43FromDiscord<Alea> Also of note, the Post example in the httpclient docs seems to be out of date, since the url no longer exists?
17:54:50FromDiscord<top level await> how do I turn my main thread into async?
17:59:26FromDiscord<dom96> `proc main() {.async.}` and then use `waitFor main()`
18:00:07FromDiscord<dom96> In reply to @Alea "Mostly extracting and processing": what data do you want? The headers?
18:01:06FromDiscord<dom96> just use `get` which will return this https://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html#AsyncResponse
18:03:39FromDiscord<Alea> aye I dug around some more and saw that I got get mixed up with getContent
18:04:11FromDiscord<top level await> In reply to @dom96 "`proc main() {.async.}` and": thank you :D
18:04:25FromDiscord<dom96> In reply to @Alea "aye I dug around": happy to accept more examples in the docs if you want to add them 🙂
18:05:47FromDiscord<Alea> In reply to @dom96 "happy to accept more": I'll have to get more familiar with it first (which I will be since I'm about to use it in an interview exercise 😅)
18:11:58FromDiscord<dom96> You're interviewing for a Nim job? 😮

20:47:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nim identifiers cannot start with `_`, even if stropped
20:48:31FromDiscord<top level await> But i'm pulling this from a websocket
20:48:38FromDiscord<top level await> so I MUST use `_id`
20:49:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It looks like you're using json?
20:49:44federico3how to set the path for nimdoc.css for "nim doc"?
20:51:37FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If you're using json you can make your own json hooks for the object so then you can write/read id as `_id`
20:51:44FromDiscord<top level await> In reply to @Elegantbeef "It looks like you're": I am!
20:51:53FromDiscord<top level await> In reply to @Elegantbeef "If you're using json": Hmm, how?
20:51:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Atleast i think that's what https://nim-lang.org/docs/jsonutils.html enables
20:52:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though i do swear there was a json library that allowed giving a string name to the fields
20:54:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ah this one seems to support it https://github.com/status-im/nim-json-serialization

20:56:05FromDiscord<top level await> it's only one rename?
21:02:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> What?
21:06:05FromDiscord<top level await> In reply to @Elegantbeef "What?": i can't rename it to multiple words\
21:06:09FromDiscord<top level await> if i rename it it'll change

21:16:31FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Me!
21:16:38FromDiscord<top level await> it uses `chronos`

21:16:50FromDiscord<top level await> and i dont need that
21:16:54*xet7 joined #nim
21:16:56FromDiscord<top level await> cause i need `asycdispatch.async`

21:43:59FromDiscord<Alea> @dom96 it was a tough test but I did it! And the httpclient / json modules worked great!

22:38:09FromDiscord<ynfle (ynfle)> Why wouldn't it just return an error?
22:38:31FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You're calling a template and returning a value internally, so to use that value it needs to know the called item returns
22:38:40FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Atleast that's what i reason

22:40:38FromDiscord<ynfle (ynfle)> A more helpful error message would be helpful
22:40:51FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well go add it
22:41:02FromDiscord<ynfle (ynfle)> Where?
22:41:31FromDiscord<ynfle (ynfle)> ie, where is the error emitted?
22:42:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I dont know
22:43:22FromDiscord<ynfle (ynfle)> How would I figure that out?
22:43:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Using a nim compiler with stacktraces
22:43:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> so `./koch temp` from the cloned repo
22:43:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `/compiler/semstmts.nim(151)` is the location of the error
22:44:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Which is checking that the `t.key` is unhandled
22:44:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3vpw
22:46:58FromDiscord<ynfle (ynfle)> Thanks I'll take a look
22:47:33FromDiscord<top level await> is there a `if OR` in nim?
22:47:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> what do you mean an `ifor`
22:48:13FromDiscord<top level await> like in javascript
22:48:32FromDiscord<top level await> if("lol" == "hi" && "bruh" == "bruh") // won't be ran
22:48:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you mean boolean or?
22:48:41FromDiscord<top level await> yes
22:48:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Would be a very annoying language without boolean or
22:49:00FromDiscord<top level await> Yes.
22:49:07FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `or` and `and` are the boolean operators
22:49:13FromDiscord<top level await> Ah..
22:49:14FromDiscord<top level await> Python style.
22:49:24FromDiscord<top level await> Not python though (REMEMBER THAT)
22:50:06FromDiscord<j-james> Yup
22:50:49FromDiscord<j-james> `mod` and `div` instead of `%` and `//` as well
22:50:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> ynfle i dont think the error message can be changed without changing the discard check logic as it doesnt have the the node calling it
22:51:51FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So you cannot check if it's a template to say "Undiscardable value in templateName, if wanting to return a value annotated with a return type"
22:54:03FromDiscord<ynfle (ynfle)> OH ok thanks
