01:07:20FromDiscord<ynfle> How do I get the root dir of the nimble package?
01:07:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimscript.html#projectDir
01:08:15FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If you're inside nimble that might work, otherwise you're pooched
01:09:09*reversem3[m] joined #nim
01:10:54FromDiscord<ynfle> Thanks I realized it doesn't make sense for me because it's a binary

01:26:42FromDiscord<Zoom> How do you deal with ambiguous calls to funcs taking `openArray[char]` and `cstring`? `string` satisfies both
01:27:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> What do you mean?
01:27:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you can do `proc(a: string)(myProcName)`
01:29:06FromDiscord<Zoom> I mean `Error: ambiguous call; both modA.foo(s: openArray[char]) blah-blah and modB.foo(s: cstring) match for (string)`
01:29:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> yea i mean `proc(a: openarray[char])(foo)(myString)`
01:30:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That's how you resolve ambiguity in Nim
01:32:59*sagax joined #nim
01:39:10FromDiscord<Zoom> Sorry, not following. `modA.foo` was a direct match before, the changes introduced ambiguity
01:40:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If you are authoring the module you can do `a: cstring and not string` or the same for `openArray[T]`
01:41:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The old implicit conversion is kicking resolution's ass
01:42:19FromDiscord<Zoom> Thanks, this will do
01:44:47FromDiscord<Zoom> Nope, `openArray[char] and not cstring` doesn't work \:P
01:47:25*stkrdknmibalz quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
01:49:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nope it wont
01:49:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> openarray is dumbly evaluated
01:49:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Forgot about that
01:51:52FromDiscord<Zoom> Well, `foo(a: string | openArray[char])` works, however stupid it may look.

02:56:12FromDiscord<Prestige> Is there a way to have a param type be a subset of an enum's values?
02:56:31FromDiscord<Prestige> like proc foo(a: SomeEnum.A | SomeEnum.B)
02:57:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You cannot dispatch on values only ranges
02:57:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you can do `proc foo(a: A..B)`
02:57:23FromDiscord<Prestige> hmm
02:59:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It doesnt let you specialize for values though it's just runtime checked
03:00:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You make want `proc foo(a: static Foo) = when a in {A, B}: ... else: {.error: "Invalid type".}`
03:02:07FromDiscord<Prestige> oh cool that would work great actually
03:02:09FromDiscord<Prestige> thanks
03:11:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Static parameters are wonderful
03:12:55FromDiscord<Prestige> Hm I actually need a different additional param if it's a certain set of enum states passed in
03:13:05FromDiscord<Prestige> idk maybe I'll just write duplicate functions
03:15:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea no clue what you're doing
03:16:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> 😄
03:16:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://paste.rs/KTF
03:17:43*arkurious quit (Quit: Leaving)
03:18:09FromDiscord<Prestige> It's for controller axes
03:18:16*Zectbumo joined #nim
03:18:39FromDiscord<Prestige> So if they pass in Axis.LEFT_X I need to check Direction. LEFT and Direction.RIGHT
03:19:21FromDiscord<Prestige> I need to disallow passing in Direction.UP and Direction.DOWN if they pass in an X axis, etc
03:19:33FromDiscord<Prestige> which should all be able to be done at compile time
03:20:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea you can do `static: assert dir in {Up, Down}`
03:22:52FromDiscord<Prestige> ah inside the function? Neat
03:25:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XyC
03:26:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> then you do `dir.toHorz` and have a safely typed Horz/Vert 😄
03:35:01FromDiscord<Prestige> Okay one more thing, is there a way to go from an enum value to the enum state? Where the values are sparse ints, can't use them for ordinals. Maybe I just need to iterate and match
03:36:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> "the enum state"?
03:37:13FromDiscord<Prestige> like Axis.LEFT_X = 5
03:37:17FromDiscord<huantian> Do you mean like ParseEnum?
03:37:19FromDiscord<Prestige> I need to go from 5 to LEFT_X
03:37:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea make a table at compile time
03:37:33FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I do it with SDL2 in my inputs.nim
03:39:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://github.com/beef331/truss3d/blob/master/src/truss3D/inputs.nim#L22-L54
03:39:05FromDiscord<Prestige> just a const table to reverse the mapping?
03:39:08FromDiscord<Prestige> ty
03:39:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I emit my own enum instead of using theirs
03:39:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Then i convert to mine in the event handle loop
03:40:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I like enum indexed stuff, not that it's ideal the way i use it 😄
03:40:47*rockcavera quit (Remote host closed the connection)
03:44:36FromDiscord<Prestige> I think I'll just do a const table
03:44:42FromDiscord<Prestige> macros are still too unreadable for me
03:46:33*kayabaNerve quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
03:46:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> iirc it emits the table for an enum to another

05:06:39*ltriant quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
05:09:52FromDiscord<Prestige> There's really no way to create a type that's a set of enum states? I really thought that would be a thing that exists
05:10:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I showed you how but you didnt want it
05:10:13FromDiscord<Rika> You can? Just not a selective set
05:10:26FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can with a selective set aswell
05:10:34FromDiscord<Rika> Really?
05:10:40FromDiscord<Prestige> eh?
05:11:00FromDiscord<Prestige> Were you talking about the `toHorz` thing?
05:11:07FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Before that
05:11:12FromDiscord<Prestige> I mean something like https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XyS
05:11:57FromDiscord<Prestige> or `SubFoo = A | C`
05:14:53FromDiscord<Prestige> I couldn't get your `MyCheckedFoo` thing to work if that's what you meant
05:15:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ruh roh compiler bug
05:18:32FromDiscord<Prestige> What now?
05:21:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XyT
05:22:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Sadly cannot do `type CheckedEnum[T: enum, S: static set[T]] = distinct T`
05:22:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Compiler cannot reason `static set[T]`
05:23:53FromDiscord<Prestige> weird
05:24:13FromDiscord<Prestige> I might just make 4 functions, 1 for each direction, then

05:33:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://paste.rs/bcR
05:33:24FromDiscord<Prestige> I'm still shocked we can't create concrete types like that, it sohuld be possible
05:33:28FromDiscord<Prestige> (edit) "sohuld" => "should"
05:33:33FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I just did
05:33:37FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So uhh take that
05:33:38FromDiscord<Prestige> hmm
05:34:12FromDiscord<Prestige> I mean like, we should be able to do simple things like `type Foo = 3 | 8` imo
05:34:25FromDiscord<Prestige> Because you could check that at compile time, right
05:34:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> that doesnt make sense to me
05:35:03FromDiscord<Prestige> It would just mean any type of `Foo` would have to be 3 or 8
05:35:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I mean it's practically what i did above i guess
05:35:14FromDiscord<Prestige> Yeah just more uh.. involved
05:35:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Eh we can resolve that
05:35:42FromDiscord<huantian> Just make a better range type that can combine multiple ranges ez clap
05:36:09FromDiscord<Prestige> Maybe I'm just spoiled by typescript
05:36:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That's actually probably a better method of what i'm doing here↵(@huantian)
05:37:07FromDiscord<Prestige> We _should_ be able to have this, but god knows how much work it'd be to add to the compiler
05:38:29FromDiscord<Prestige> Maybe I'll write up another RFC for people to shoot down
05:38:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> People shot down your RFCs?
05:39:00FromDiscord<Prestige> Mostly the MI one, lol
05:39:25FromDiscord<Prestige> I also proposed changes to Tables which seemed well received but nothing became of it

For more details please see https://twitter.com/MetaNotey/status/1514800247339646976?s=20&t=QALG_O1tBe7v7D8KbFAHag
05:46:10FromDiscord<Prestige> Would be nice if you could just do `let a: FiveEight = 5`
05:46:33FromDiscord<Prestige> Can someone ban @Verdure
05:47:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XyY
05:47:12FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> dont let that guy that doesnt get banter to see that joke
05:47:14FromDiscord<Prestige> Neat
05:47:35FromDiscord<Prestige> No more chucklehead?
05:47:51FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You cannot do it generically but for specific generics you can
05:48:47FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @Verdure "I have found a": <@&371760044473319454>
05:48:56FromDiscord<Prestige> now I just need to write up an RFC so we could simplify this down to `type FiveEight = 5 | 8`
05:49:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ugh
05:49:41FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That adds so much to the compiler that it doesnt really need 😄
05:50:13FromDiscord<huantian> Maybe you can abuse concepts for this 😛
05:50:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> What's more needed is the abillity to instantiate `Checked[T; valid: static openarray[T]] = distinct T`
05:50:59FromDiscord<huantian> Hmm
05:51:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Like if you can instantiate that you can just make a macro that handles lets you do `checkedType(5, 8)` no need for compiler ssupport
05:51:31FromDiscord<Prestige> That'd be a good step but would still be somewhat complicated as an end user, moreso that just defining type like I was showing (with literals)
05:51:48FromDiscord<Prestige> hm true
05:51:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Except the issue there prestige is you can use literals as a type parameter
05:52:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `var a: seq[100]` is valid
05:52:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Maybe not with seq
05:52:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ok how the hell did it work huan i showed it to you before
05:53:51FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ah nevermind i goofed it
05:53:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XyZ
05:55:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Actually we can use macro magic to emit this all
05:56:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So we can do `checkedVal(5, 8)` then check if there is a `CheckedVal` in the collection that has the value
06:00:40FromDiscord<huantian> Range types are implemented in the compiler right
06:00:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes
06:01:29FromDiscord<huantian> Makes sense
06:02:23FromDiscord<huantian> It’s kind of both a compile time and runtime type
06:13:15FromDiscord<j-james> What are view types?
06:13:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Types that enable safely borrowing memory
06:13:35FromDiscord<j-james> I found https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual_experimental.html#view-types but I don't fully understand `lent T` or what view types are used for
06:14:23FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> They're used for reducing memory consumption and increasing performance
06:15:01FromDiscord<j-james> So like a reference in Rust?
06:15:15FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes
06:16:15FromDiscord<j-james> interesting
06:17:02FromDiscord<Rika> Move semantics that aren’t completely opaque to the programmer pretty much
06:17:48FromDiscord<j-james> they're pretty opaque to me while i'm trying to wrap my head around them haha
06:18:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> @Prestige\: hotshot part deux https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3Xz2
06:19:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Like it's not overly dramatic to add code for it, just need to use your noggin and work against the compiler's wishes 😄
06:19:14FromDiscord<Prestige> Hmm
06:20:11FromDiscord<Prestige> With a converter that works quite well
06:20:36FromDiscord<j-james> The docs say a view type is one of `lent T` or `openArray[T]`: are those equivalent to being passed by value and passed by reference?
06:21:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> View types reuse memory so they're always passed by reference
06:21:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's not equivalent to it though
06:21:38FromDiscord<j-james> oh, is it just that anything is either `T` or `openArray[T]`
06:21:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `lent T` is saying "Hey we're borrowing this variable immutably"
06:22:10FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `openArray[T]` is also technically a borrow
06:23:52FromDiscord<Prestige> Now if we can https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3Xz3
06:25:29FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though it's presently implemented in a way that you cannot have it outlive the source
06:25:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The big thing that view types give you is the abillity to statically know your memory is always safely owned, so you can hold onto a `var T` from a getter
06:25:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> With view types the above can set the `myType`'s `a` to `100` without it we copy `a.myVal` and mutate it
06:25:57FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> though i think it'd be `var a : var int = myType.getVal`
06:26:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://paste.rs/uRO
06:28:05FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Would have to steal code fro m unions i think
06:29:17FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'm dumb
06:29:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> i used `getType` again
06:29:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3Xz5
06:29:40FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That works
06:31:03FromDiscord<j-james> hmm i'm having some trouble following the example
06:31:05FromDiscord<j-james> what does `: var int` indicate?
06:31:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You want a view type instead of a copy
06:31:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3Xz7 fixed even more
06:32:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Downside is prestige `[Right, Left]` doesnt match
06:32:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But if you use type aliases you should be fine
06:33:24FromDiscord<Prestige> Thanks :)
06:33:50FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> No problem
06:35:01FromDiscord<j-james> what happens to `a` when `myType` dies in the example?
06:35:09FromDiscord<j-james> that's enforced by the compiler to never happen?
06:35:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's ensured `a` cannot outlive `myType`
06:35:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That's the big part of safe view types they have a borrow checker
06:36:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Prestige you know you arent doing the check right?
06:36:09*PMunch_ is now known as PMunch
06:36:24FromDiscord<j-james> interesting, that makes sense
06:36:32FromDiscord<j-james> thanks for the explanation 😄

07:12:31FromDiscord<j-james> how did i not know about these
07:12:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> They are
07:12:39FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> hmm `echo not 1` -> `-2` i'd expect `0`. are my expectations off or is nim doing something weird?
07:12:59PMunchimpbox_[ftsf], why would you expect 0?
07:13:31FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> All bits but the first are turn on
07:13:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> the first is off
07:13:38FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> and `echo not 0` -> `-1`, i'd expect `1`
07:13:40PMunch1 is 0b00000001 not 1 is 0b11111110, if you know your two's complement rule of negative binary numbers that's 2
07:14:14FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> hmm ok! i'm just silly then, thanks
07:14:22FromDiscord<Rika> “Not” is bit wise not
07:14:49FromDiscord<Rika> It isn’t Boolean not; Boolean not naturally only happens when the type is Boolean
07:15:01FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> gotcha
07:15:13PMunchYeah, not true returns false, and not false returns true
07:15:18FromDiscord<Rika> 👌
07:15:39FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> i have an int holding either a 0 or 1 value, should probably be a bool
07:15:49FromDiscord<Rika> It isn’t
07:16:02FromDiscord<Rika> That assumption isn’t applied
07:16:11FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> i mean, i should make it a bool instead of an int
07:16:20FromDiscord<Rika> Oh okay
07:16:24FromDiscord<Rika> I misread
07:16:35FromDiscord<impbox [ftsf]> though I want it to be a 1 bit integer =p
07:17:10FromDiscord<Rika> Usually it isn’t time efficient
07:17:16FromDiscord<Rika> In such case, I mean
07:17:24FromDiscord<Rika> Space efficient but not time efficient
07:17:45FromDiscord<Rika> Even worse if you’re storing a Boolean in a type with other fields
07:17:55FromDiscord<Rika> Then you have to add padding anyway
07:37:37FromDiscord<jmgomez> Hey guys, arent static var supported in type pragma macros?

07:38:19FromDiscord<jmgomez> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3Xzi
07:38:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Doesnt make sense to be static
07:39:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Actually nevermind thought that was a pragma pragma
07:39:28*Arrrrrrr joined #nim
07:40:33FromDiscord<jmgomez> so arent they supported or is there soemthing wrong in the code?
07:40:51FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nah values to pragma macros arent supported it seems
07:41:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Atleast typedesc macros
07:41:20FromDiscord<Rika> Weird exception
07:41:26FromDiscord<Rika> Since they work with function pragmas
07:41:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> They're specially handled and poorly at that
07:41:39FromDiscord<jmgomez> okay.. yes, that why I wasnt sure
07:41:41FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Wait
07:41:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you're doing `typed`
07:41:46FromDiscord<Rika> Fix it then beef smh
07:41:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> typdef macros do not work with `typed`
07:42:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I tried rika, i'm not smart enough
07:42:12FromDiscord<jmgomez> ohh that make it compile
07:42:16FromDiscord<jmgomez> didnt know that

07:42:45FromDiscord<jmgomez> thanks guys!
07:43:11FromDiscord<jmgomez> one last thing, can you call a macro from another macro? like to do a wrapper of that one where the parameter is set?
07:43:37FromDiscord<mratsim> with `quote do` or make the common part a proc on NimNode
07:43:41FromDiscord<Rika> Just use a proc
07:43:41FromDiscord<Rika> Yeah
07:43:48FromDiscord<Rika> A proc that handles NimNodes
07:44:06FromDiscord<jmgomez> problem with proc is that I still what to use the other macro but just less often
07:44:19FromDiscord<mratsim> both can call the proc
07:44:20FromDiscord<jmgomez> and it will require one extra
07:44:24PMunchThen you probably want to return something that will call your macro with a static parameter
07:44:43FromDiscord<jmgomez> I guess that's cleaner approach
07:44:52PMunchYou can have optional parameters to procedures as well
07:45:20FromDiscord<jmgomez> 👍
07:45:27PMunchHmm, I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExwqNreocpg, and now I'm trying to create a tiny Nim program that uses Xlib
07:45:43PMunchCurrently I have it down to 14472, but I can't seem to get it further
07:45:58PMunchFollowing of course this guide: https://hookrace.net/blog/nim-binary-size/
07:46:27PMunchbut it quickly gets irrelevant because I need some of the stuff they remove to actually call X11 libraries..
07:46:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You are using arc right?
07:46:43PMunchYes
07:47:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> LTO on? `--opt:size`?
07:47:20PMunchThis is what I have so far: http://ix.io/3Xzl
07:48:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Can try the other exception modes, dont recall if they work with arc though
07:51:26PMunchI tried exceptions:goto, but that didn't give me anything
07:51:47FromDiscord<Rika> That’s default on ARC no?
07:51:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> arc uses it by default yes
07:53:35PMunchNope, none of the others where any better
07:57:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Dont recall does danger turn off all checks?
07:58:18PMunchYeah it should disable just about everything
07:58:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> actually gets off his ass to read the nimc docs, yes
07:59:15PMunchHmm, seems like a C program doing the same thing gets to about the same size..
07:59:52FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well fuck
08:00:38FromDiscord<Rika> Don’t think there’s much you can do about that
08:00:49FromDiscord<Rika> Just use a jumbo sized QR xd
08:00:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Use a different C compiler perhaps
08:01:08FromDiscord<jmgomez> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3Xzv
08:01:47FromDiscord<Rika> It doesn’t need to be a static string in the procedure
08:01:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> it needs to be `string` as an argument
08:01:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `static` is only for dispatch it's then lowered to `string` inside
08:02:09FromDiscord<jmgomez> ohh okay
08:02:30PMunch@Rika, the biggest QR codes can only store about 2.5kb..
08:02:50PMunchI'm currently at about 14k
08:02:51FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Time to make a bigger standard
08:03:07FromDiscord<enthus1ast> There are several standards already
08:03:33FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Do they statically link the code?
08:03:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I notice you arent statically linking anything which means you're probably using dynlib loading for x11 right?
08:06:21FromDiscord<Rika> Static linking would just make it larger?
08:06:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The code to interact with the dynamic library might be smaller than the used parts of the static library
08:06:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> In small examples it's very likely
08:06:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> might be larger than\
08:07:57PMunchYeah I thought about that
08:08:23FromDiscord<Rika> A lot of these standards max at around 3 kilobytes
08:08:37FromDiscord<enthus1ast> i read a article about the same issue but with windows pe
08:08:40FromDiscord<Rika> I highly doubt your dynamic loading code is 11 kilobytes
08:09:21FromDiscord<Rika> There’s a lot more trimming down to do
08:28:28PMunchWelp, static linking with X11 made the binary go from 18744 to 964240 :P
08:28:34PMunchSo no big surprise there
08:30:37FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> We're getting close
08:30:49PMunchClose to what? :P
08:30:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> My new standard's limit
08:32:38PMunchHmm, a program which just does `echo "Hello world"` takes 14568 bytes..

08:51:45FromDiscord<jmgomez> hey guys, one question. If a type A uses another type B (or inherit from it) can you access the other type B and inspect it within a macro?
08:52:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can use macros to go up the type tree yes
08:52:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You need to use `getTypeImpl` or the other `getType` proccedures on the symbol
08:52:52FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If it's not a symbol you're SOL
08:54:49PMunchWell, not entirely
08:55:41FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I more mean in reference to the fact they had a macro on a typedef 😄

10:38:44FromDiscord<ambient> using Arraymancer, I'm little confused how there's: float, float32, system.float

10:53:32PMunchsystem.float is the same as float
10:54:32PMunchAnd float is the same as float64

12:24:33FromDiscord<Stuffe> I tried `seq` but it didn't work https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/974285953919230032/Screen_Shot_2022-05-12_at_19.24.29.png
12:25:20FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Stuffe "which variable type declaration": you can't declare this as a type directly, but openArray accepts seqs and arrays
12:25:30FromDiscord<Stuffe> i know
12:25:48FromDiscord<Yardanico> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XAq
12:25:56FromDiscord<Stuffe> i want to declare an empty one
12:26:09FromDiscord<Stuffe> is there a way to do that?
12:26:18FromDiscord<Yardanico> specifically for httpclient or something else?
12:26:23FromDiscord<Stuffe> actually I want the type for a struct
12:26:38FromDiscord<Yardanico> httpclient just uses https://nim-lang.org/docs/httpcore.html#HttpHeaders
12:26:49FromDiscord<Stuffe> i am using jester though
12:27:08FromDiscord<Yardanico> it is using HttpHeaders as well
12:27:29FromDiscord<Yardanico> https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/974286694423609354/unknown.png
12:27:37FromDiscord<Stuffe> ok well that doesn't help
12:27:49FromDiscord<Yardanico> but generally you can probably store the values as `seq[tuple[key, val: string]]` and pass them, but not really efficient
12:28:06FromDiscord<Yardanico> isn't it better to create some base headers once without having to create them each time
12:28:19FromDiscord<Yardanico> i just don't know your usecase
12:28:21FromDiscord<Stuffe> i want to put it in a struct though
12:28:28FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Stuffe "i want to put": yes, but why you can't put headers in a struct?
12:28:32FromDiscord<Yardanico> `HttpHeaders` i mean
12:28:44FromDiscord<Stuffe> the struct definition needs a type
12:28:47FromDiscord<Yardanico> sorry for asking so much, but i'm just confused
12:28:51FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Stuffe "the struct definition needs": that is a type
12:28:53FromDiscord<Yardanico> from httpcore
12:29:01FromDiscord<Stuffe> ok let me try
12:29:15FromDiscord<Yardanico> and jester even exports httpcore so you already have access to `HttpHeaders` if you use jester
12:31:57FromDiscord<Stuffe> how do I assign values to this data type?

12:39:17FromDiscord<Stuffe> it makes me a bit of a sad panda that argument types descriptions don't match with identifier declaration type descriptions
12:39:33FromDiscord<Stuffe> would make things easier for a lot of people i am sure
12:39:36FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Stuffe "": oh well, that's why I asked the usecase :)
12:39:44FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @Stuffe "would make things easier": structural equivalence would be quite bad for normal tuples IMO
12:39:47FromDiscord<Yardanico> nim already has it for tuples
12:39:54FromDiscord<Zoom> Can you pass more than one code block to a template? I need a macro If I want to access them by names, right?
12:40:00FromDiscord<Yardanico> so yeah, in this case if you need it for `resp`, just store it as a seq[tuple[key, val: string]]
12:40:17FromDiscord<Stuffe> but thats the whole issue the whole time
12:40:21FromDiscord<Stuffe> that I need the type for that
12:41:03FromDiscord<Stuffe> I want to put this in a struct so I need the exact type
12:41:26FromDiscord<Stuffe> what is the type that works was my question the whole time

12:41:40FromDiscord<Yardanico> `seq[tuple[key, val: string]]`
12:41:42FromDiscord<Yardanico> is the exact type
12:41:46FromDiscord<Yardanico> :D
12:42:00FromDiscord<Yardanico> sequence of tuples consisting of two fields - key and val, both being strings
12:42:13FromDiscord<Yardanico> `openArray` accepts both arrays and sequences of the underlying type
12:42:18FromDiscord<Stuffe> In reply to @Stuffe "": but I tried that and it doesn't work
12:42:24FromDiscord<Stuffe> i tried that before asking here
12:42:32FromDiscord<Stuffe> i understand how`openArray works
12:42:38FromDiscord<Stuffe> (edit) "how`openArray" => "how openArray"
12:43:14FromDiscord<Zoom> Thanks, the trouble with that is that branches are unnamed on the call site \:(↵(@demotomohiro)

15:48:29FromDiscord<Prestige> Then I have `autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead .nim, set filetype=nim` in my `init.vim`
15:48:47FromDiscord<spoon> ah
15:48:50FromDiscord<Prestige> You mean `CocInfo` ?
15:48:56FromDiscord<Prestige> (edit) "`CocInfo`" => "`:CocInfo`"
15:49:24FromDiscord<spoon> there was some command i used that had some error launching the server

15:50:15FromDiscord<spoon> that's the error
15:50:25FromDiscord<spoon> nimlsp is on my path
15:50:56FromDiscord<spoon> (also this is on my windows pc if that means anything)
15:51:20FromDiscord<Prestige> Maybe look at https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/wiki/Debug-language-server
15:54:15FromDiscord<Prestige> It looks like CI failed for windows builds, 3 days ago. I wonder if that's related. What nimlsp version are you on?

17:28:01FromDiscord<ambient> is the internal memory representation of 1D Tensor[T] the same as seq[T]?

17:39:37FromDiscord<geekrelief> How can I find out version of C++ does nim generate with cpp?
17:39:57FromDiscord<ambient> answering to myself https://scinim.github.io/getting-started/basics/common_datatypes.html seems to indicate that seq and Tensor indeed have the same internal memory representation
17:41:39FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @ambient "answering to myself https://scinim.github.io/gettin": doesn't look like it - "Under the hood the data is stored as a pointer + length pair for types that can be copied using copyMem (Nim's memcpy). Otherwise it contains a seq[T] for the data."
17:41:50FromDiscord<Yardanico> seqs have a bit of different layout if we were to talk about actual internal representation
17:42:10FromDiscord<ambient> I'm mainly talking about 1D Tensor vs seq, multidimensionals are obviously different indexing scheme
17:42:32FromDiscord<Yardanico> i mean if you just do .addr then it'll work
17:42:37FromDiscord<Yardanico> but just casting the seq itself won't work
17:42:46FromDiscord<Yardanico> like `elem[0].addr` I mean
17:42:52FromDiscord<ambient> I'm not sure I understand the difference
17:42:54FromDiscord<Yardanico> that will work, but `elem.addr` won't work the way you want
17:43:00FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @ambient "I'm not sure I": nim seqs have an internal structure
17:43:08FromDiscord<Yardanico> of len, cap, and pointer to data
17:43:13FromDiscord<Yardanico> it also differs a bit between refc and arc
17:43:20FromDiscord<Yardanico> cap = capacity
17:43:43FromDiscord<ambient> yeah the capacity is not the same as the items most of the time
17:44:07FromDiscord<Yardanico> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XBD
17:45:19FromDiscord<Yardanico> and for refc it's a pointer to object of len, cap and data
17:45:23FromDiscord<root> This language is sick
17:45:28FromDiscord<Yardanico> you can easily see that if you do `sizeof` with both refc and arc
17:45:31FromDiscord<root> Why is it not more popular?

17:46:06FromDiscord<ambient> (i have no clue)
17:46:18FromDiscord<root> Ok
17:46:28FromDiscord<root> And it compiles to C, c++, and js???
17:46:39FromDiscord<root> It should be an industry standard tbh
17:47:34FromDiscord<demotomohiro> There are C standard and C++ standard.
17:47:36*duuude joined #nim
17:47:50FromDiscord<ambient> well from my perspective, the first I heard of Rust, I was frontloaded with all kinds of evangelism talking points. With Nim it's just "It's kind of like Python, but compiles into C"
17:48:09FromDiscord<root> True
17:48:35FromDiscord<demotomohiro> This is why Nim generates C code: https://internet-of-tomohiro.netlify.app/nim/faq.en.html#language-design-why-nim-transepile-to-cqmark
17:49:30FromDiscord<root> Are there any easy libraries for making gui in nim?
17:49:56FromDiscord<root> I mainly make desktop tools

17:50:12FromDiscord<root> Ok
17:50:28FromDiscord<root> How do I specify which Lang I want nim to compile to?
17:50:36FromDiscord<resumin> sent a long message, see http://ix.io/3XBF
17:50:53FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @root "How do I specify": `c` actually means both "compile" and "compile to c" at the same time
17:50:56FromDiscord<federico3> @demotomohiro\: you might want to improve https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Unofficial-FAQ
17:51:03FromDiscord<Yardanico> so you traditionally can just do `nim cpp` or `nim js` to compile to others
17:51:14FromDiscord<ambient> https://github.com/marcomq/nimview looks pretty neat, hopefully will have time at some point to look into
17:51:17FromDiscord<Yardanico> there's also a new way (although I personally don't use it), like `nim c --backend:cpp`
17:51:38FromDiscord<Yardanico> but yeah, there are a lot of GUI options, webviews, native ones (even fully written in Nim), imgui, tons of bindings
17:51:54FromDiscord<Yardanico> but there's no 1 "flagship" UI library that everyone will say "yeah, you should use this specifically for Nim"
17:52:04FromDiscord<Yardanico> all have their own advantages and disadvantages
17:52:09FromDiscord<root> Ok
17:53:07FromDiscord<root> How hard is nim/c programs to crack?
17:53:12*arkt8 joined #nim
17:53:25FromDiscord<Yardanico> define "crack"
17:53:29FromDiscord<Yardanico> and "hard" compared to what?
17:53:31FromDiscord<root> Unpack
17:53:34FromDiscord<Yardanico> ??
17:53:38FromDiscord<ambient> well there's no sprintf unless you absolutely want to have it
17:53:40FromDiscord<Yardanico> you can't "unpack" them, they're native code
17:53:41FromDiscord<root> In reply to @Yardanico "and "hard" compared to": Compared to python
17:53:48FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @root "Compared to python": much more harder
17:53:59FromDiscord<root> Ok
17:54:15FromDiscord<Yardanico> because for nim/c/etc you actually have to reverse engineer the binary by disassembling, and for python you can easily turn the bytecode back into the source close to the original
17:54:28FromDiscord<root> Ok
17:54:33FromDiscord<root> Thanks for the help
17:54:39FromDiscord<Yardanico> In reply to @root "Ok": btw, it'd be a bit nicer if you can react to messages with thumbs up or something instead of saying "ok" every time to not fill the chat :)

21:44:01reversem3[m]Is it possible to readLine multiple strings , 1 at a time? and then process them ?
21:44:29FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @reversem3 "Is it possible to": What does that mean? As in each string is a “line”?
21:44:32reversem3[m]for instance I was to get the dimensions of a box but I want the user to input three values
21:45:18FromDiscord<Rika> Oh you mean to “intake” three or whatever amount of lines at a time in a loop?
21:45:28reversem3[m]then take the three values and then calculate them , or do I need to read in 1 value per time
21:45:49reversem3[m]yeah I supposed it would have to be a while loop then huh ?
21:45:57FromDiscord<Rika> With read line and if your values are per line then you have to do it one at a time
21:46:21FromDiscord<Rika> If you put the three values in the same line then it’s no problem
21:47:02reversem3[m]would that be a seq then ?
21:47:29FromDiscord<Rika> No it would just be a single string, you’d still have to parse the values out somehow
21:48:05reversem3[m]ok so either way it would have to be one string at a time

22:03:15FromDiscord<federico3> what's the best way to parse a nim file and extract proc definitions?
22:04:11FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Depends where you are
22:04:40FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If you're in compilation you can load the file into memory and usue `parseStmt`/`parseExpr`
22:04:41FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Otherwise you may want to look at the NimVm and use it to parse for you so you can expand macros and the like

22:10:25FromDiscord<Rika> In an ideal world lol
22:11:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well concepts are statically reasoned so you cannot use a concept to represent runtime logic

22:16:31FromDiscord<Rika> I just got in a situation where I need to anyway so I will, but I wanna see if you’d like it
22:16:38FromDiscord<Rika> Okay I’ll look into it
22:16:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well when it comes to most things
22:16:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'm like the worst person to be the maintainer of picostdlib
22:17:17FromDiscord<Rika> Because you ain’t interested in embedded programming or because you just don’t know?
22:17:26FromDiscord<Rika> Or is it a time thing I don’t know
22:17:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'm interested but dont have much hard ware to actually play with it
22:17:44FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So i dont actually learn anything about it
22:17:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Or write any code in the space
22:18:01FromDiscord<Rika> Is it that hard to find a pico where you’re at? Or am I wrong in what I’m thinking about
22:18:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I have a pico, i just dont have any of the other hardware like screens or i2c stuff
22:18:28FromDiscord<Rika> Oh okay
22:18:46FromDiscord<Rika> Then I’ll do some stuff since I have screens and LED matrices and whatnot
22:18:49FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> So when someone says X works i trust them, like martinx with the i2c stuff
22:19:27FromDiscord<ambient> i have like 100 stm32, someone just would have to solder them to pcbs
22:19:40FromDiscord<huantian> Where do you get that many lol
22:19:45FromDiscord<ambient> aliexpress
22:19:53FromDiscord<Rika> Damn did you do a production run of some product or something to have that many?
22:20:15FromDiscord<ambient> well they come in a roll and take very little space so i thought why not, there's always something I can put them in
22:20:15FromDiscord<exelotl> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Exelotl doing more work": I previously had some success extracting doc comments in nimscript using a typed macro that you invoke like `getDocs: include "foo.nim"`↵But you still have to do traversal logic and resort to manual parsing in some cases, and it only works with a subset of Nim code (even though the code doesn't run, it still has to be valid nimscript)
22:20:32FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @ambient "well they come in": I see
22:20:32FromDiscord<exelotl> So I figured just parsing the files manually is better
22:20:39FromDiscord<ambient> but these days JLCPCB does assembly so it's kind of relic of the past
22:20:42FromDiscord<Rika> Let me see if I can get a role of pico chips hahaha
22:20:46FromDiscord<Rika> Roll
22:20:48FromDiscord<Rika> I can English
22:21:21FromDiscord<huantian> I wanna try using a pico on my next keeb but it’s gonna be a split and idk if they have firmware for it
22:21:42FromDiscord<Rika> Lol coincidentally I am writing keyboard firmware
22:21:44FromDiscord<ambient> keyboard firmware is super simple to write, as long as you already have a usb stack
22:21:55FromDiscord<Rika> I think PMunch has some already made but not for the pico
22:22:11FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @ambient "keyboard firmware is super": Not if you’re being ambitious hahaha
22:22:12FromDiscord<ambient> bit banging USB is for the adventurous types
22:22:13FromDiscord<huantian> But then I have to account for likeee demultiplexers and oleds and stuff
22:22:18FromDiscord<Rika> But for the most part it’s simple yes
22:22:45FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @ambient "bit banging USB is": Really easy on the pico since there are two coprocessors that can handle arbitrary IO protocols
22:22:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Dont have to use nimscript
22:22:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea i mean i you might be able to use other APIs to parse nim code, i could be wrong↵(@exelotl)
22:23:08FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @huantian "But then I have": What’s the demux for?
22:23:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Anyway dogs want to walk, so i guess ping rika if you're missing my sass
22:23:16FromDiscord<Rika> OLED screens are often just SPI no?
22:23:22FromDiscord<huantian> In reply to @Rika "What’s the demux for?": Yeah true
22:23:26FromDiscord<huantian> Wups
22:23:26FromDiscord<Rika> Rather the ones used on keyboard
22:23:42FromDiscord<huantian> It’s just for getting more pins for other stuff
22:23:48FromDiscord<huantian> Like the rotary encoder
22:23:48FromDiscord<ambient> most OLEDs I have are both SPI and i2c iirc
22:24:19FromDiscord<Rika> Ideally I’d use I2C since it’s less pins used lol not like a keyboard needs to display 60 fps content
22:24:48FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @huantian "It’s just for getting": Demultiplexer for that? Don’t you just use either a shift register or an IO expander?
22:25:11FromDiscord<Rika> You can put the whole keyboard matrix on two shift registers and save a lot of pins that way hahaha
22:25:27FromDiscord<huantian> Huh ig you could
22:25:39FromDiscord<Rika> effectively two; they’d have to have enough bits to do all rows/columns
22:25:50FromDiscord<Rika> You can chain them anyway so yeah
22:31:52FromDiscord<ambient> I was sure there was some FPGA tools for Nim like nMigen but I must have been dreaming

22:34:38FromDiscord<luteva> sent a long message, see http://ix.io/3XCW
22:35:16FromDiscord<Prestige> I have a type want to essentially duplicate, but add more properties to it. Is the right thing to do just use `type Foo = object of Bar` or does that set up some other weird inheritance stuff along with it?
22:39:02*noeontheend joined #nim
22:41:30FromDiscord<Bubblie> Do any of you know where nim handles imports and import modules?
22:41:34FromDiscord<Bubblie> In the nim-lang repo
22:57:53*noeontheend quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
22:58:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> @Prestige\: you can use inheritance and if you dont want type information do `type Foo {.pure, inheritable.} = object`
22:58:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Or use concepts like a human
22:58:52FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Concepts cannot be recursive↵(@luteva)

23:01:48FromDiscord<luteva> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Concepts cannot be recursive": why not?↵I mean with the proc notation it works just fine! (that's what i just discovered and what a )
23:02:07FromDiscord<luteva> (edit) "a )" => "i am surprised about)"
23:02:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The original concepts are done with compile statements so it's a recursive check that isnt logical
23:02:25FromDiscord<luteva> ok
23:02:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Actually it might work
23:03:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Never mind it's recursive 😄
23:03:42FromDiscord<luteva> so i have to use the 'proc' notation when i want to check for a proc that returns the type of a concept.
23:03:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XD0
23:04:08FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Personally i dont really see the point in the returning the concept
23:07:32*wallabra joined #nim
23:12:55FromDiscord<!Patitotective> hmm, im having issues with new lines on windows, it seems they use `\x0D\x0A` instead of `\n` (?)↵so i was wondering if i should do `newLine <- '\n' | "\x0D\x0A"`??
23:13:34FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Welcome to the world of line endings
23:14:19FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes you should do `'\n'` and `\p`
23:14:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-string-literals
23:16:16FromDiscord<Prestige> Yeah I basically just wanted the same members of a type, plus some more
23:16:25FromDiscord<Prestige> I could just not be lazy and duplicate the code I suppose
23:16:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea just use inheritance with pure
23:16:47FromDiscord<!Patitotective> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Yes you should do": nice and thanks :]
23:16:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Sorry it's not `\p`
23:17:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `\c\n` or `\n`
23:19:40FromDiscord<!Patitotective> shouldnt i just do `\p`? since its platform specific 🤔
23:19:43FromDiscord<!Patitotective> (edit) "🤔" => "🤨"
23:21:51FromDiscord<!Patitotective> actually `\p` or `\n` because people could use \n on windows
23:23:21FromDiscord<spoon> windows terminal
23:25:02FromDiscord<!Patitotective> In reply to @Elegantbeef "`\c\n` or `\n`": actually youve got reason↵its easier to just say that hehe
23:33:32FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> is there a fast way to pop multiple items from a seq at once?
23:33:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You want to make a new sequence with X number of elements?
23:34:22FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> kinda, I'd like to pop the last N values of a seq and add it to another seq
23:35:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XD5
23:35:17FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> actually i think that'd be `(start, lengthOfSlice)`
23:35:44FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> yeah I also have to wonder if there's a length-based slice operation as opposed to range-based
23:36:07FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> but I suppose that could work for now
23:36:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well you can do `[a..b]` but that makes a new sequence
23:36:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `toOpenArray` is the fastest slice operator
23:36:45FromDiscord<theangryepicbanana> hmm ok
23:40:56FromDiscord<luteva> sent a long message, see https://paste.rs/YtS
23:41:31FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Why does `save(p)` return `p`
23:42:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `save` should probably be like `proc saveTo(target: var SomeTarget, myType: T)`
23:42:36FromDiscord<luteva> because the object can be updated and maybe i have to use the new version of the object.
23:43:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3XD8
23:43:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `type P` is the bound type of the concept being checked
23:44:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://paste.rs/43l
23:45:28FromDiscord<luteva> oh yes! that may help! thanks! I'llo try that.
23:45:40FromDiscord<luteva> (edit) "I'llo" => "I'll"
23:45:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> If the new concepts work for you you should use them
23:45:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Otherwise go to the old ones
23:46:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though i personally default to the old ones since they're presently more capable
23:47:07FromDiscord<luteva> yes. i just also wanted to try out and understand how it would work in the older version... just learning 🙂
23:47:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ah ok
23:48:47FromDiscord<luteva> so, in the end, it was just the typeof(..) i was missing.
23:49:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> yes `a is b` needs the right hand to be a typedesc
23:49:07FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> the left hand works with a value or type
23:49:45FromDiscord<luteva> 👍
23:51:39FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> I managed to get just the compiler to work on Pop!_OS 22.04
23:52:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Congrats!
23:52:00FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> And tried to install a VS Code extension for Nim.
23:52:04FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> But...
23:52:18FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> But I'm having some troubles.
23:52:57FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> I want to go and see the code I don't understand about Nim (like `echo` or `log2`), but the extension can't find the definitions.
23:53:04FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> And it used to work fine before.
23:53:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Do you have nimsuggest in your path
23:53:16FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> Even in Windwos.
23:53:23FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Do you have nimsuggest": What's that?
23:53:40FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> More extra steps? Well, I can try them.
23:53:53FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> But I only have the compiler, nothing else.
23:53:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> does `nimsuggest` work?
23:53:58FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> No nimble or choosenim.
23:54:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well if you dont have nimsuggest then tooling will not work
23:54:19FromDiscord<⎝⪩﹏⪨⎠> Because choosenim buggy in Ubuntu 22.04-based distros.
23:54:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You could try http://gitnim.com/ instead of choosenim
23:55:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's not commonly used but works well ime
