03:33:45FromDiscord<wannabelokesh> In reply to @aintea "in the worst case": okay, then my next question is, please recommend me a really good book about nim that's also not old.
03:36:23FromDiscord<wannabelokesh> cause language tour and such things only covers high-level abstracted syntax and logic. ↵or they show a complex, hard program example to show how it looks or whatever. ↵I mean, either they remain at level 0 to 1 (level of difficulty) or directly jump to some higher. ↵I want someone to explain things one at a time, and low-level things.

05:58:11FromDiscord<wannabelokesh> In reply to @nnsee "you can change where": I mean, nimble compiles and throw the executable inside the parent of src/ ie parallel to src/ ↵I want it to build from src/ and put the final exec into build/ which is parallel to src/
05:58:26FromDiscord<wannabelokesh> by parallel, I mean, sibling or at same level

06:56:58FromDiscord<heysokam> @ElegantBeef how is `==` interpreted for arbitrary `object`s that have no custom == defined?↵is it like a deepEqual, or something else?
06:57:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes it compares all the fields calling their `==`
06:57:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/version-2-2/lib/system.nim#L1798 It's not even magic
06:58:52FromDiscord<heysokam> cool, tyty↵if I use `!=` its going to auto template into `not ( ... == ...)` right?
06:59:14FromDiscord<heysokam> was thinking of implementing the custom `==` for a special case
06:59:30FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Remember your `==` should match your hash
07:00:00FromDiscord<heysokam> what does that mean in practice?
07:00:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If `==` returns true the hash should be the same
07:00:21FromDiscord<heysokam> oh
07:01:08FromDiscord<heysokam> I think I'd rather remove the `Undefined` field values from the object then
07:01:21FromDiscord<heysokam> to avoid that edge case altogether
07:01:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Or you could just make your own hash procedure
07:06:51FromDiscord<heysokam> that's what I mean. removing the undefined fields also removes the need for a `==` and `hash` procs altogether
07:07:07FromDiscord<heysokam> so it turns 5-15 lines into one
07:44:07FromDiscord<aintea> In reply to @wannabelokesh "okay, then my next": I don't know any book but you can go try to check the Nimlings on GitHub, I haven't finished them yet but it should cover everything once it's done
07:45:02FromDiscord<aintea> You can also check Nim Days (website), that has smaller and simpler programs (like a terminal todo list) and explain every step with code, it's actually very good

09:21:18FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#pasty=aoYuXhWk
09:34:26FromDiscord<heysokam> In reply to @griffith1deadly "beef what is it": missing return type on the function decl?
09:34:48FromDiscord<heysokam> or maybe missing the `{.cdecl.}` pragma
09:36:10FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#pasty=XrtiwlGH
09:36:38FromDiscord<heysokam> ` =` doesn't that need a type?
09:36:57FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> maybe because macros return untyped and i just do a copy of function argument's that includes syms
09:37:12FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> In reply to @heysokam "` =` doesn't that": it's just example i used for `dumpAstGen`
09:37:19FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> generated code looks good
09:37:39FromDiscord<heysokam> kk, if its from macros then I'm out. I have no clue, sorry
09:39:29FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#pasty=LqhyychO
09:39:43FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> it looks good
09:39:59FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> but i think maybe problem that i mix typed with untyped
09:40:07FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> but errors so unintuitive
09:40:34FromDiscord<heysokam> that's incorrect if it needs a `.cdecl`
09:40:41FromDiscord<heysokam> (edit) "`.cdecl`" => "`{.cdecl.}`"
09:41:03FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> `nativeEnvironment.defineClass` is cdecl so why proxy function need a cdecl
09:41:14FromDiscord<heysokam> the error is saying that
09:42:00FromDiscord<heysokam> the message says you are trying to assign differen function types to each other, and cdecl makes a function type different
09:42:44FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> i don't assing anything? i just make function call proxy for threadlocal variable
09:42:59FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> (edit) "assing" => "assign"
09:43:21FromDiscord<heysokam> `Error: type mismatch: got ..... but expected one of: ....`
09:43:32FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> if i manually make that proc it works
09:43:36FromDiscord<heysokam> no clue about how that's triggered, but that's what that means

10:05:55FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> yeah, error comes from mixins syms with untyped result

17:04:54FromDiscord<heysokam> I'm writing a `folder.glob(pattern=".c")` function↵Is there any existing tools to pattern match strings in stdlib?
17:05:18FromDiscord<heysokam> I don't want regex, just simple unix-like glob patterns
17:08:30Amun-Rais the glob pattern hardcoded into an app?
17:08:56Amun-RaI'd go with regex in that case
17:09:58FromDiscord<heysokam> 1000000000000000% not regex
17:10:16FromDiscord<heysokam> its exposed to the caller. I'd rather not have patterns than regex
17:10:47Amun-Raack
17:10:58FromDiscord<heysokam> ?
17:11:46Amun-Rathat can be a hermetic expression, ack is a tcp procotol bit meaning acknowledgement
17:12:03FromDiscord<heysokam> i mean, that'd make it worse

19:36:33FromDiscord<flashjaysan> Is there some kind of main function in nim? How do I know which module will create an executable and which one would produce an object file?
19:53:02FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> In reply to @flashjaysan "Is there some kind": top level function call
19:54:05FromDiscord<griffith1deadly> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#pasty=BbUVdbEr
20:11:39FromDiscord<Phil> Basically: The entiry point is determined by the file you pass into the compiler.↵What will execute is all top-level code across all modules that get pulled into the compilation process.↵To unify this, it is recommended to have some sort of main() proc that you call so you don't have 50 pieces of code across 50 modules that may be executed in an unspecified order that could change over time.

21:03:33FromDiscord<fl4shk> does there exist a pre-existing FIFO, or queue data structure? I am not looking for `heapqueue`

21:03:57FromDiscord<fl4shk> (edit)
21:04:32FromDiscord<fl4shk> I've implemented a FIFO before as FPGA code, but I don't feel like doing that again right now
