07:06:28miranalso add `editor.tabSize: 2`

10:05:38FromGitter<ozturkberkay> It seems like we cannot call a procedure before it is declared. Is it planned to change this in the future updates or is there a reason behind this rule?
10:06:17miranyou can forward-declare if you need that
10:06:47miranand here is the example and short explanation why it won't ve changed: https://nim-lang.org/docs/tut1.html#procedures-forward-declarations
10:12:14FromGitter<dom96> Actually it might still be changed
10:12:20FromGitter<dom96> But probably not for 1.0
10:13:01FromGitter<Clyybber> Will newruntime be default in 1.0?
10:13:43FromGitter<ozturkberkay> ```code paste, see link``` ⏎ ⏎ It feels redundant because you write the decleration part twice [https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim?at=5b700857637ee66082dc8c3a]
10:14:35miranwhy don't you just put the last line on the top?
10:15:22FromGitter<ozturkberkay> I don't know how OOP works on Nim but i'm used to call methods inside the constructor function and then define the methods afterwards
10:15:28FromGitter<ozturkberkay> thats probably the main reason
10:16:03miranyou can change the order, but even better it might be to ditch OOP ;)
10:17:29FromGitter<ozturkberkay> Maybe :) Nim pushes me to try out new things, thats why I love it so far.
10:18:32mirani think there was some blog-post where it was explained how to do OOP nim-way, i'll try to find it
10:21:29mirani think this is it (in the first sentence there are three links to the three previous parts): http://goran.krampe.se/2014/11/30/nim-and-oo-part-iv/
10:22:20miranit was a long time ago that i have read it, i don't remember how good it is, and how someting from 2014 is applicable to nim in 2018
10:23:07FromGitter<ozturkberkay> thanks! I'll have a look at it

11:45:24*data-man quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
11:48:11seniim confused about declaring functions. if it has a return type then I declare `): bool =` for example. but if it doesn't I write `) =` ?
11:48:16seniwhy the inconsistency?
12:00:02*data-man joined #nim
12:01:58zacharycarter[m]it's not an inconsistency - the void return type is implicit
12:02:13zacharycarter[m]it prevents you from having to type out `: void` after every proc that returns void
12:04:38*data-man quit (Remote host closed the connection)
12:05:20zacharycarter[m]I think anyway
12:06:03*data-man joined #nim
12:07:51FromGitter<ozturkberkay> I think it's a useful feature. You can even skip the parantheses if there are no parameters

12:16:18*data-man joined #nim
12:17:50seniI just wasted a bunch of time because I didn't realize that and was getting some undeclared var error, the docs do not mention this section when introducing procs
12:20:32seni*this syntax when
12:20:45FromGitter<tim-st> I had these problems too, when I started developing in nim, you just have to keep in mind the rule to end with `) =`
12:21:05seniokay
12:21:38FromGitter<tim-st> and it makes sense, since `): =` looks uncool
12:22:07FromGitter<Clyybber> It makes sense because it works the same way for variables
12:23:09FromGitter<tim-st> also I had probems with empty seqs like `var x = @[]` here the type is missing. The compiler could find out the type looking at the later code, but I just used `newSeqOfCapT (cap)` then
12:23:40FromGitter<ozturkberkay> @Clyybber +1. You use `:`to declare the data type. Putting that without writing the data type wouldnt make sense ⏎ ⏎ > It makes sense because it works the same way for variables
12:25:34seniokay, I hadn't thought of it that way
12:25:39*alehander42 joined #nim
12:27:45*ftsf quit (Remote host closed the connection)
12:28:06FromGitter<Clyybber> Whats the use of newSacOfCap ?
12:28:08*ftsf joined #nim
12:28:28FromGitter<Clyybber> Wouldn't it in most cases make more sense to use newSeqUninitialised
12:28:30FromGitter<Clyybber> ?
12:31:50FromGitter<tim-st> In all cases newSeqOfCap should be the same as newSeqUninitialized but afaik this is only done, if you add the `{.noInit.}` pragma...
12:32:09FromGitter<tim-st> newSeqOfCap is just more famous I would say
12:34:53FromGitter<Clyybber> I see, newSeqUninitalized is basically the same as newSeqOfCap, but with the length set, so you don't have to add entries, but can overwrite existing(albeit unitialised) ones
12:37:12FromGitter<tim-st> I think they are the very same, but newSeqOfCap is (for unknown reason) initialzed although it's not indexable
12:37:42FromGitter<Clyybber> It is actually not initialized.
12:38:01FromGitter<Clyybber> It's length is just set to 0
12:38:10FromGitter<tim-st> 2 weeks ago I looked at the source code...
12:38:13FromGitter<Clyybber> Hmm
12:38:33FromGitter<Clyybber> Okay maybe I misunderstood the source
12:38:51FromGitter<tim-st> it's in `sysstr.nim`
12:39:27FromGitter<Clyybber> https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/master/lib/system.nim#L744
12:39:36FromGitter<Clyybber> There it is, I think
12:39:42FromGitter<tim-st> what I meant was for string, but is the same I think
12:40:16FromGitter<tim-st> yes, it says magic: `NewSeqOfCap`
12:40:23FromGitter<Clyybber> If you look at newSeqUninitialized you see it calls newSeqOfCap
12:40:49FromGitter<Clyybber> So it doesn't make much sense that newSeqOfCap would be initialized
12:49:15FromGitter<tim-st> I cannot find the code definition of the `magic` procs now..., I'm pretty sure I've seen it work different :\
12:58:59FromGitter<Clyybber> It uses compiler *magic*
13:01:39FromGitter<Clyybber> aka intrinsics
13:03:01FromGitter<tim-st> for example `newString` magic is defined here: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/c57e320c9486248a82c19d13e03178745d8eb53f/lib/system/sysstr.nim#L92

13:12:15krux02Araq: what is there a reason, why every NimNode has a comment field?
13:12:27FromGitter<tim-st> I think the implementation of `newSeqUninitialized` was changed recently to what you linked directly inside `system.nim`. But still itwould be interesting to see the difference to `newSeqOfCap`
13:15:07FromGitter<stisa> @tim-st this one ? https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/89dd1e3592e5f869bd2845c587ddec9c749d4d7b/lib/system/mmdisp.nim#L364
13:18:55FromGitter<tim-st> thanks, looks good, although the name is different, but seems implemented similiar
13:23:21FromGitter<stisa> that's the proc the c backend generates. Search for `mNewSeqOfCap`, most magics are implemented in a `case` using `m`+`procname`for the enum
13:25:43FromGitter<tim-st> yes, you're right, thanks: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=mNewSeqOfCap&type=Code
13:27:16FromGitter<stisa> Or maybe it's this one, I think the other is specific to gogc

16:09:15FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Or just do tab size 4 @ozturkberkay Miran
16:10:02miranthe official stuff is written with 2 spaces, so i guess this would be the official way
16:11:28FromGitter<kayabaNerve> The compiler has a style guide saying that; Nim projects are, at a guess, 60-70% 2 spaces; the language itself doesn't.
16:11:53*PMunch joined #nim
16:12:49FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Point is, if he wanted to use 4 spaces, just let him use 4
16:13:01FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Maybe make a comment most Nim code is 2
16:13:39FromGitter<ozturkberkay> To be honest, I really don't like 2 space tab size. But I can continue like this if the majority of the community using 2 spaces, not a big deal
16:14:07FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Idea. Get a copy of every nimble package and write a tool to see how many spaces it uses.
16:15:01FromGitter<kayabaNerve> I personally use 4 :p I'm not saying you just continue using 2 and can't adapt. I'm trying to say it's up to you to either continue what you like(d) or adapt.
16:15:50FromGitter<ozturkberkay> Yeah, I get it :)
16:20:47miranwhen i started i didn't like 2 spaces (also didn't like the imports, (partial) case/style insensitivity, etc.), but it has grown on me over time

17:00:23miranopenArray is only used in proc declarations, no?

17:24:35FromGitter<tim-st> @kayabaNerve are they known at compile time?
17:26:33FromGitter<tim-st> if so, you can use one array/seq and store the elements as sequences -> the next element belongs to the previous unless a flag marks the last element. then you can store one array of start indices that links to the sequences array/list
17:28:08FromGitter<kayabaNerve> @tim-st I'm storing data. You can have 0 bytes to 128 bytes.
17:28:33FromGitter<tim-st> yes. the question is, if your data is known at compile time
17:28:37FromGitter<kayabaNerve> No.

17:29:15FromGitter<tim-st> what do you mean by 0ing out?
17:31:24FromGitter<kayabaNerve> I can't create 128 bytes of 0.
17:33:08FromGitter<tim-st> the idea was (only compile time): seq[tuple[data: byte, isLast: bool]]; then you yould create sequences of len 0..128

18:10:03FromGitter<kayabaNerve> I actually just used sequtils.mapLiterals to converted a OrderedSet[int] to OrderedSet[char] (I need every single character except 0. Not 0-9, A-Z, a-z; 1-255 but in char form).

18:20:17subsetparkIs there an alternative? A native yacc-alike?
18:21:50Araqyou can try to revive my 'lexim' project but that's only lexer generation

19:00:25seniany particular reason why nim went with the syntax of types coming after the variable? just out of curiosity
19:02:35*stefanos82 quit (Quit: Quitting for now...)
19:05:46*phao quit (Quit: Leaving)
19:06:27FromGitter<zetashift> @seni probably because of Pascal, Nim hass a lot of influences of pascal
19:06:30FromDiscord_<awr> in a variant is there a way to properly change the discriminator after it's been assigned?
19:06:55FromDiscord_<awr> also if i had to guess @seni probably wirth influence
19:10:44FromGitter<drslump> @seni a technical reason is that with type inference the type becomes optional in many cases, and as a rule of thumb optional tokens are easier to parse if the come after since it reduces the required amount of look ahead for a grammar
19:13:25*thomasross__ is now known as thomasross
19:13:32FromDiscord_<awr> if you make function header syntax consistent with variable type syntax (as nim does) it looks substantially cleaner than C

20:12:42zacharycarter[m]wondering if anyone can provide any insight on whether this is expected behavior or not - https://gist.github.com/zacharycarter/f61be4127da3ec6efc9f3c2348b6469a
20:14:13FromGitter<kayabaNerve> zacharycarter[m]: What it does when you compile it = expected behavior
20:14:24FromGitter<kayabaNerve> 🤔

20:14:53Araqzacharycarter[m]: the parser changed I guess
20:15:43zacharycarter[m]Araq: issue then?
20:17:00zacharycarter[m]kayabaNerve: heh, most of the time I'd say you're right
20:18:00FromGitter<kayabaNerve> It's really annoying to ask that. I wanted to ask if converters should work in nested types. ⏎ A) Bug ⏎ B) Unimplemented Feature ⏎ C) I'm using the feature wrong ⏎ D) Not a feature, screw off [https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim?at=5b7095f7196bc60b6bbde55f]
20:18:37FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Ara_q said the stdlib supported it via sequtils.mapLiterals so I said: Not supposed to be in the lang, is in the stdlib, and closed the issue.

20:20:33FromGitter<kayabaNerve> A jab at the question itself because of how hard it is to ask/answer but it's a valid question.
20:20:56zacharycarter[m]ah okay - gotcha
20:21:08FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Then I made a joke about how asking about expected behavior can be 'abused' when you ask the expected behavior of really really simple things.
20:21:20zacharycarter[m]I gotcha
20:21:26FromGitter<kayabaNerve> Then I tried to send Hyperthink to symbolize it
20:22:00zacharycarter[m]yeah - I see what you mean, it is a thin line

20:37:55FromGitter<drslump> I'm a newbie trying to hack on compiler/semgnrc.nim to fix https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/8603, what's an agile flow to work on the compiler internals? `./koch boot -d:debug` speed is not bad but I hope there is some trick that can be used when doing minor changes to a module :)
20:38:49FromDiscord_<exelotl> say I want to use this from inside a macro (e.g. call getAst on the result)
20:39:11FromDiscord_<exelotl> template callMethod(name:untyped):untyped = obj.`name`()
20:39:46FromDiscord_<exelotl> template callMethod(name:untyped):untyped = obj.\`name\`()
20:40:10FromDiscord_<exelotl> how would I pass a name of my choosing?
20:40:32FromGitter<GULPF> @drslump `koch temp <args>` compiles the compiler in debug mode and sends <args> to it, don't think there's a faster way
20:41:20FromDiscord_<exelotl> I've tried getAst callMethod(ident("doThing"))
20:41:44FromGitter<tim-st> @drslump I had a quick look at this, from what zah said, I would assume https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/a45faf2dd60f6474aa01b7cddd35d09ce329d6ce/compiler/semgnrc.nim#L325 should be replaced by `n.sons[i] = semGenericStmtScope(c, n.sons[i], flags+{withinMixin}, ctx)` but that's only a guess
20:42:08FromGitter<tim-st> otherwise I wouldnt consider it as beeing `easy`
20:42:46FromGitter<drslump> thanks @GULPF, I'll try with it

20:48:14FromGitter<drslump> @tim-st thanks, I tried the `semGenericStmtScope` but it breaks the stdlib, it seems that bindings in`when` blocks are not scoped (makes sense). I'm going down the rabbit hole and I think I see some light but it's indeed not an easy task for a beginner in Nim :)

20:48:56zacharycarter[m]not sure if you've already read that or not
20:49:26FromGitter<tim-st> @drslump Thanks, it was also my impression that's not easy. Especially when I realized, that `when` is maybe not the problem, because `openArray[int]` works as parameter

21:14:56FromGitter<tim-st> (with good/best peformance)
21:16:07FromDiscord_<awr> parseInt()?
21:17:39FromGitter<tim-st> I think parseInt looks at the string and try to parse at much as possible which fits in int64; I think I would need to wrap the string into StringStream and use `readInt32`
21:17:56FromGitter<tim-st> but dont know how much overhead StringStream has...

23:49:42vosperHas anyone tried to use libsodium for encrypting a message with a key (crypto_secretbox_easy)? I feel like I'm missing something, because the password hashing functions from libsodium docs don't seem to be available, so I can't go from password string -> key of the correct length. I see that nimcrypto has pbkdf2 implemented, but I don't know how to use that with libsodium.
23:49:52vosperI am weak on crypto stuff...
