08:08:18FromGitter<arnetheduck> @awr1 "good luck"
08:08:19FromGitter<awr1> qt-ish native controls? or "electron-like, but native?"

08:15:37Araqawr1: basically what libui offers, but better event handling (I found its event handling to be so incomplete that became unusable)
08:15:53Araqan event based canvas with text rendering capabilities
08:16:20Araqmaybe some native widgets but if I can draw stuff, I can write every widget I need
08:16:32Araqand it will portable and look the same everywhere
08:17:46Araq"native look and feel" is for toys, I don't give a crap if my video editor uses "Windows' native buttons"
08:18:44Araqon the other hand using the native "printer dialog" or "file open dialogs" is very much appreciated
08:19:25Araqso ... we need to find some pragmatic compromise
08:19:45*shomodj quit (Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
08:19:46shashlickIsn't that a huge endeavor?
08:20:23PMunchZevv, nope
08:21:18PMunchshashlick, yes
08:22:05shashlickPerhaps because most gui libs in c/c++ world also end up providing an stdlib of sorts
08:22:41shashlickConsidering Nim already has one, maybe it isn't as much work
08:22:57Araqit's much work
08:23:13AraqI hoped somebody would steal code from libui and c2nim it
08:23:31PMunchAnd to address Araqs "I don't give a crap if my video editor uses [...]" comment. It's not only about look and feel (although for Linux users who are used to setting a system-wide Gtk/Qt theme it's super annoying when some application decides to draw it own stuff). The more important issue is accesibility. Want to make a tool that people with physical or mental disabilities can use you better use the native controls. That way you get all the OSes
08:23:32PMunchaccessibility tools for free
08:25:25Araqgood point
08:29:18PMunchAnd besides, you will also get any updates to things like 4k UI scaling, better integration into system appearances, etc.
08:29:49Araqbut then you are in the very messy "how can I write custom widgets" land
08:30:34PMunchAh yes
08:30:39Araqand most applications that I use are based on a "custom widget", the text editor, this chat, the browser, a video editor, ...
08:32:02Araqbut I guess business apps are fine with premade TableWidget and buttons
08:32:24PMunchTrue, to get 100% cross-platform/-framework custom widgets you would have to implement your own drawing toolkit and map that to whatever the underlying framework supports
08:36:20Araqthat's why the browser-based stuff always wins
08:37:37*fredrik92 is now known as couven92
08:38:21Araqin C++ there is a proposal for adding web_view to the stdlib
08:38:28PMunchI did some thinking about this for the ergonomics of the library I want to write. Basically I ended up categorising applications into two categories, data/algorithm-based and interaction-based. A data/algorithm-based application is something that's more or less just an interface for an underlying algorithm or data manipulation tool. Think of something like a video converter, a password manager, a system diagnostics application like the task manager, etc.
08:38:28PMunchThey are generally more indifferent to their interface, focusing more on the actual "meat" of the application which is the data collection/manipulation. Then you have the interaction-based tools, like a calculator, a text editor, or a web browser. They are typically much more picky about their interface, because their entire reason d'etre is to allow the user to interact with something in a more ergonomic way. Of course most applications fall somewhere on a
08:38:28PMunchspectrum between these extremes, but I found the categories to help a bit when I was considering how to think of widget creation.
08:38:47PMunchYeah the browser-based stuff has some pros
08:39:00Araqand then C++ finally would have a "UI lib" in std::
08:40:17Araqsuper silly IMO, but it does show the browser's importance.
08:40:40PMunchMainly that people know how to create interfaces in them (because most people in tech have done something with webpages), and the fact that we've spent the better part of three decades slowly getting to a point where they more or less render the same thing on all platforms.
08:48:40FromGitter<mratsim> @awr1, ptr_arithmetic module sounds ok
08:49:24Araqa stdlib addition? boooh!

11:44:07FromGitter<mratsim> @zacharycarter decided to be our guinea pig :p
11:44:48FromGitter<zetashift> for the greater good!
11:45:45FromGitter<zetashift> also unrelated but julia can be compiled iirc
11:47:03FromGitter<mratsim> you cannot build dlls/static binary with Julia
11:47:14FromGitter<mratsim> it’s something they are still working on
11:48:41FromGitter<deech> Araq, PMunch: I have a fairly high coverage binding to FLTK (https://fltk.org) in Haskell (https://github.com/deech/fltkhs), I know the default looks ugly but it's quite customizable (https://github.com/deech/fltkhs-themes-demo) and very easy to install across platforms and produce self-contained static binaries. It's a lot of work to make a nice wrapper but I have a lot of the tedious C-binding bits ready to go
11:48:41FromGitter... (https://github.com/deech/fltkhs/tree/master/c-src). I've wanted to port it to Nim for quite a bit now. There is a Nim port out there (https://github.com/Skrylar/nfltk) but it's not as far along.

13:10:25PMunchbevo009, what kind of timer where you thinking of?
13:11:47FromGitter<bevo009> Just times the program running time, like Code Runner does automatically
13:12:06PMunchWell on Linux you can just call it with `time`
13:13:05FromGitter<bevo009> I'm looking for one I can integrate with F6 Nim command
13:15:09PMunchIn an editor?
13:15:17*Vladar quit (Remote host closed the connection)
13:15:24PMunchWell that depends on your editor..
13:15:40FromGitter<bevo009> vs code
13:15:49FromGitter<bevo009> I found this for timing a specific code block while I was looking: ⏎ ⏎ ```code paste, see link``` [https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim?at=5d54098453490e334dee3613]
13:15:52PMunchAgain, if you're on Linux you could create an alias for Nim to run `time nim` instead
13:15:58PMunchThat way you would always get timing information
13:16:33FromGitter<bevo009> Oh ok you just place time before your main nim command
13:16:59PMunchYes, time is a program that runs the command after it and returns the time it took to run it
13:17:07PMunchCan be appended to pretty much anything
13:17:35FromGitter<bevo009> cheers, thats great
13:17:53PMunchWhat would be cool though was if Nim could have a timed mode where it would output timings for the different parts of the compilation
13:18:17PMunchLike how long did parsing take, what about macro expansion, C compilation, etc.
13:19:46FromGitter<bevo009> yes it would
13:20:24FromGitter<bevo009> After trying inserting time into code runners custom command, it's automatic timing is prstty correct

13:46:49clyybberAraq: For some reason nkInt8Lit, nkIntLit or nkNilLit sometimes doesn't have a type.

14:10:48clyybberI mean for nkNilLit it makes sense, but for the other ones?
14:11:00clyybberAre they not fully resolved yet?
14:13:51AraqI remember it happens for some complex macro cases
14:14:23Araqand I remember teaching the backend about it was less work then changing the frontend
14:14:28*PMunch quit (Remote host closed the connection)
14:14:32clyybberOk.
14:14:51Araqbut now it's the 2nd time somebody stumbles over it
14:14:59Araqso we could have a deeper look
14:15:05clyybberAraq: Yeah
14:15:38clyybberAraq: Is it intended that nkIfExpr sometimes includes nkElifBranch instead of nkElifExpr ?
14:16:17Araqthere is no difference really
14:16:29Araqit was a design mistake to distinguish them
14:17:13clyybberShould be pretty easy to unify them, right?
14:22:12Araqno, it's very hard
14:23:03Araqthe macros.nim enum is mapped 1:1 to the ast.TNodeKind enum
14:23:18Araqso every change that is not just "added an enum field at the end" causes endless bootstrapping problems
14:27:18Araqwe should use a string based comparison
14:28:12clyybberCouldn't one just do const nnkElifExpr = nnkElifBranch in macros.nim
14:29:28Araqit's the nature of bootstrapping
14:29:41Araqyou would need to update macros.nim and the Nim compiler binary at the same time
14:29:45Araqand that's impossible
14:30:03Araqso first you need to eliminate the binary dependency
14:30:41*mattmurr joined #nim
14:31:18clyybberBut the compiler doesn't rely on macros.nim does it?
14:32:09Araqit uses macros in msgs.nim and uses json.nim that uses macros
14:32:19Araqand maybe also elsewhere
14:32:23clyybberArgh
14:32:42clyybberSo how could it ever be fixed?
14:33:08clyybberManually changing the C source of the compiler?
14:33:38*actuallybatman joined #nim
14:36:52Araqyou need to patch of opcNNewNimNode: in vm.nim
14:37:01Araqand then wait for a stable release
14:37:12Araqand then you can fix it
14:37:36Araqinterestingly we avoided this mistake for TMagic :P
14:39:26clyybberDo you intend to fix this before 1.0?
14:39:49Araqnow that you reminded me ...
14:40:23Araqit's one of these time bombs we need to disarm before v1, yes
14:43:16*terps quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
14:44:01clyybberYeah I agree
14:44:45clyybberAraq: Is there a reason that {.discardable.} is not just implemented as a transformation to discard someDiscardableProc ?
14:45:45Araqthe transformation would need to be done in the sem'check and then the macros could see it
14:46:30clyybberWould that be a problem? I mean if we change the spec?
14:48:32Araqwe don't have a spec for 'typed' ASTs

15:13:19FromGitter<deech> What are partially materialized objects?
15:13:42clyybberAraq: How can I check wether a call is a call to a discardable proc? `if n.kind in nkCallKinds and sfDiscardable in n[0].sym.flags` doesnt seem to work

15:37:09disruptekmaybe you should RFC partially materialized objects and see if any feedback provokes changes to the design before implementation is complete.
15:37:25*terps joined #nim
15:38:06Zevvis this partially materialized objects some kind of running gag, or is that somehing real?
15:38:34disruptekit's a fair question, if a funny one. 😁
15:39:08disruptekif i understand it, it's the concept of only partially composing objects in a function scope because they need never escape as fully-realized objects.
15:39:24disrupteknewruntime shenanigans.
15:41:10Zevvsounds plausible
15:43:01Zevvbut since an object is already almost nothing; if you have an object on the stack that stays there just as long as the function lives, nothing is even "materialized" anyway, right? its members are nothing more then adresses on the stack frame
15:43:50disrupteki think we're talking newruntime accounting overhead here.
15:44:11Araqfor blobs yes, but consider MyObject(x: value) where typeof(value) has an expensive copy
15:45:04*terps quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
15:45:21Zevvright, that makes sense
15:45:34Araqwith PMO you can remove different construction/destruction pairs than what our control flow analysis can do
15:45:35disruptekobjects: almost nothing.
15:46:28disruptekit's more like simply omitting spec inside a vague scope.
15:46:33Zevvoh it already got its own TLA, great :)
15:46:53disruptekor, it's vague in a specific scope.
15:47:29Araqyou don't have to make it scope based
15:47:53disruptekoh, it's graph-based?
15:48:22disruptekis this a valid typeclass? int|string|enum
15:48:38Araqsure.
15:49:36disrupteki can't figure out why i cannot integrate two generics -- one for int|string and one for enum. maybe i can create a test.
15:52:11Zevvcan you genericize on a non-specific enum type then?
15:52:28disruptekall my tests say yes.

20:06:02disruptekZevv: you mean more portable than the colored compiler output we currently enjoy?

20:07:27Calinoudo you mean the `terminal` module?

20:08:06Zevvstdout is null at compile time, so it goes *poof* in my face

20:09:39Calinouoh, you want a module that can be used in compile-time strings
20:09:50CalinouI don't think that exists, at least not if you want to support Windows versions older than 10

21:02:56rayman22201@disruptek, you can't dispatch on return type
21:04:12disruptekkiloneie: i just fixed it and then the playground broke.
21:04:39disruptekyou should iterate over r_letters.low .. r_letters.high instead and modify everything else to match.
21:05:09disruptekrayman22201: why does it work in the first example?
21:05:48disruptekor, where am i dispatching on return type?
21:06:31rayman22201you have those converters. They all take `JsonNode` but return different types.
21:06:40rayman22201Nim cannot differentiate between them
21:07:03disrupteknone of that code block is executed.
21:07:33disrupteki just put that in there for comparison; it's like a series of comments.
21:07:43rayman22201maybe I misunderstood then
21:07:52rayman22201then why not just put it in a comment?
21:08:26rayman22201lol. sorry. minor pet peeve. I hate when people use always false if statements as comments. let me look again
21:08:35disrupteki dunno; i was breaking stuff out and recombining it. i had it working with enum generics separated out and i was trying to figure out why i could not typeclass completely.

21:24:01disruptekit's interesting that ints, enums, and bools work fine.
21:24:59*sagax quit (Remote host closed the connection)
21:32:32FromGitter<alehander42> Kiloneie
21:32:43FromGitter<alehander42> its because r_letters is not result
21:33:20FromGitter<alehander42> but you use result.low and .high
21:33:28FromGitter<alehander42> so maybe you want to result[stuff]
21:33:38FromGitter<alehander42> or to use r_letters.low and .high
21:33:50FromGitter<alehander42> many of those can be confusing, so your second version is more clear if works
21:35:25FromDiscord_<Kiloneie> It is more clear but i can't then use that loop to access both r_letters and r_values correctly, that was the problem of not wanting to use that one, i'd have to make a dictionary just for that.
21:35:25FromDiscord_<Kiloneie> Distruptek's solution worked though, iterating over r_letters.low.. high

21:36:15FromGitter<alehander42> sorry didnt realize its fixed :P
21:36:50FromDiscord_<Kiloneie> No problem, thanks anyways 😃
21:37:04rayman22201ohhhh. @disruptek, I think I get it. Even the branches that aren't executed must type check. Because the type checking happens even though the branch isn't executed.
21:37:24rayman22201maybe a compiler / generics bug. I'm not sure.
21:37:53disruptekso when i make a statement that causes a generic to get built, it fails compilation because that changes the inputs to that type checking.
21:38:11FromDiscord_<Kiloneie> It is kind of hard getting used to a Static typed language after most of my coding experience outside of my computer science high school from ages ago, was in Game Maker(dynamic typing, which can be great, but in the long run i'd rather shoot myself than use dynamic again <.<)
21:38:42disruptekwell, don't shoot yourself. o.O
21:39:05disrupteknim: better than a speeding bullet to the temple.
21:39:07ZevvThat would make a rad slogan "don't shoot yourself, use nim!"
21:39:16Zevvhmm that was a bit on-the-edge, imho
21:39:27Zevvsorry about that
21:40:14FromDiscord_<Kiloneie> xD, well it's better to face problems right on that to deal with them hours or days later when they finally occur.
21:40:45rayman22201@disruptek. I'm not an expert in the generics code gen part of the compiler, but yes, I think it essentially instantiates a version the proc for each case of the allowed types, and type-checks the instantiation. It has no way to know that branch won't be reached in the string case.
21:40:57disruptekrayman22201: i can almost grok this, but why does int work while float does not?
21:41:04rayman22201also lmao at "don't shoot yourself, use nim!". Should be a sticker :-P
21:41:31rayman22201both int and float can be passed into `parseEnum[T]`
21:41:51FromDiscord_<Kiloneie> Man this Roman numerals exercise is killing me, third day on it, my brain can't comprehend how to digit to roman O,O
21:42:27rayman22201or specifically, when instantiating `parseEnum[T]`, `low[float]()`, `low[int]()` is valid, but `low[string]()` is not.
21:43:00disruptekyes, but when is T: float|int for `parseEnum`?
21:43:09rayman22201ironically, float and int probably shouldn't be allowed either, but you get lucky, because those happen to type check.
21:43:19rayman22201It's not!
21:43:56*Kaivo quit (Quit: WeeChat 2.5)
21:44:37disruptekit's interesting that json has a `getEnum` in it.
21:44:43rayman22201`converter toAnything[T: enum|string|float|int|bool](node: JsonNode): T ` is getting turned into `converter toAnything[T: enum](node: JsonNode): T`, `converter toAnything[T: string](node: JsonNode): T`, `converter toAnything[T: float](node: JsonNode): T`, `converter toAnything[T: int](node: JsonNode): T`, ``converter toAnything[T: bool](node: JsonNode): T`
21:45:13rayman22201I.E. the typechecker is putting in the types for each possible type.
21:45:37rayman22201and feeding that down to each called proc recursively to see if it type checks for all possible cases.
21:46:03disruptekso let's say it does. that code won't even compile for T: float, but it compiles for T: int.
21:47:41rayman22201you get lucky for int. It happens to typecheck all the way down
21:48:16disrupteki guess i don't know what "all the way down" means.
21:48:56rayman22201Typecheckers are recursive. It's going to replace and check the concrete type for the entire AST
21:49:26rayman22201even the branches that won't be accessed at runtime (Because the typechecker can't know anything about runtime)
21:49:28disrupteki doubt it. it doesn't compile it you don't cast getInt to T: int
21:49:45rayman22201That is exactly why you have to cast it
21:49:57disruptekwas there any doubt what getInt might return?
21:50:11rayman22201If the typechecker knew about runtime, then you would not have to have the casts inside your branch.
21:50:22disruptekyou cannot get it to work if you cast parseEnum, so...
21:50:54rayman22201what do you mean? I don't understand?
21:51:20disruptekyou say i need to cast all the return values to T when i assign them to result, right?
21:51:52disruptekbut, it works fine if you don't cast the result from parseEnum.
21:52:26rayman22201you probably do, but it fails earlier in the typecheck, so you don't get that error yet
21:52:40rayman22201it doesn't work because parseEnum fails :-P
21:52:55disruptekno, i mean if you comment out the string and float assignments, the remaining assignments/assertions all work fine.
21:53:27disruptekcompilation breaks because we add float to the generic typeclass.
21:53:48rayman22201yes. I know. that is expected
21:53:50disruptek(ie. by creating a runtime invocation with that type). but it's fine before that point.
21:54:03rayman22201Sorry. This is hard to describe over chat :-/
21:56:31rayman22201Your problem is a typechecker + generics problem.
21:56:56disruptekit really seems splitbrained to me.
21:57:33FromDiscord_<Kiloneie> .removeSuffix cannot remove letters if they are not connected one by one at the end right ?
21:57:49rayman22201The way generics work is that for each type you actually use, a version of the function gets code-generated for that type. This is called monomorphization.
21:58:09rayman22201it gets converted from "generic version" -> "specific version for that type".
21:58:38disruptekyes, but it remains unclear as to why adding an invocation of the generic with a float type causes compilation to fail.
21:58:54disruptek"turtles all the way down" doesn't really elucidate here.
21:59:02disruptekor s/turtles/types/
21:59:14rayman22201So when the compiler sees, `foo.get[int](....)` it makes an int version of `get`
21:59:32rayman22201or whatever other type `string` for example.
21:59:55rayman22201Nim does this in a slightly naive way. It does not take into account your if statement over the type.
22:00:34rayman22201so, it's going to do `parseEnum[string](...)` even if that function could never possibly get called (Because of your if statement)
22:00:46Araqif T is int: <-- use 'when T is int'
22:01:01Araqbut all of this code is a bad idea
22:01:05disruptekcan you tell me why this one works? https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=1RGE
22:01:18disrupteki mean, i don't even want to use converters. that's the point.
22:02:04disruptekperfect, thanks Araq! :-D
22:02:16disruptekand no converter. 😁
22:02:48rayman22201duh, of course, when. That makes perfect sense. The compiler will see that at the right time.
22:02:54clyybberZevv: I like that slogan haha
22:03:02Araqwhy this one works? well because it's completely different
22:03:07rayman22201`if` works at runtime, `when` at compile ttime
22:03:31FromGitter<deech> disruptek, `Observations = FeralHogs | enum` compiled for you?
22:04:03disruptekdeepend: and you, if you hit the `run` button. 😉
22:04:26disruptekthat's what started this whole series of machinations...
22:04:57FromGitter<deech> For my own knowledge what does that syntax even mean?
22:05:18disruptekit's a typeclass mixing FeralHogs and any enum.
22:05:41rayman22201@disruptek, It just happens to work because `enum | FerlHogs` => `enum | range[]`. and `parseEnum` typechecks with both those types.
22:06:04FromGitter<deech> Dear god.
22:06:22rayman22201really @distruptek, you just got lucky
22:06:33rayman22201it does not work in the general case
22:06:58disruptekwhat is this general case of which you speak?
22:07:26rayman22201as in just about any other type
22:07:32rayman22201you happen to pick types that play nice
22:07:42clyybberAraq: Why does the compiler generate an else case for case of statements that cover all cases?
22:08:27Zevvquantum tunneling
22:08:31rayman22201lol
22:08:34disruptekcan you gimme an example where an errant type screws me up?
22:09:18rayman22201you have your own example already. The float type in your foo converter
22:10:04disruptekhow do you figure? it works fine if you use `when` to control the checker.
22:10:41rayman22201well yeah, `when` is the solution. But The example you sent doesn't use when
22:10:54rayman22201the FeralHogs example
22:11:11disruptekoh, so we can break it by sending it a float.
22:11:19rayman22201or a string
22:11:21rayman22201yeah
22:11:29disrupteki mean, people will always write broken code, myself included.
22:11:50disruptekthe only versions that ran were versions that worked, so i'm not too worried here.
22:11:57disruptekthey may as well have had typos.
22:12:20disruptekor insufficient memory to invoke the compiler. the result is the same. no binary to worry about.
22:12:50rayman22201Well yeah, but the whole point of typeclasses is to help avoid those kinds of errors.
22:12:57rayman22201But you have to use them properly
22:13:11disruptekuh, sure.
22:13:20rayman22201which means using `when` instead of `if` in these cases.
22:14:10disruptekso you're saying if i want to write code that's correct, i should correct my code?
22:15:07rayman22201lolol. I'm not trying to be an ass. You asked why your feralHogs example worked. We told you why. You got lucky.
22:15:18rayman22201Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
22:15:32rayman22201You wrote bad code that happened to work. That doesn't make it good code.
22:16:42disruptekand my point is that as long as the compiler doesn't GIGO, i'm happy.
22:19:25*rockcavera joined #nim
22:23:29rayman22201sure. Does that mean we helped you solve your problem? I was just trying explain what was going on, and why you got lucky with your code example.
22:27:50disruptekprobably the longest 1.5hr of my life, but, uh, sure.
22:28:08rayman22201Welcome to programming
22:28:12disruptekwouldn't you know it, all the tests still pass. 🙄
22:28:51rayman22201all the tests still pass when you do what?
22:31:33*abm quit (Quit: Leaving)
22:32:57rayman22201Also, just because a test suite passes doesn't mean there are no bugs. It just means you haven't written a test that catches a bug. So I don't know what your point is?
22:35:27disruptekand my point is that as long as the compiler doesn't GIGO, i'm happy.
22:39:15rayman22201It's a lot easier to not have GIGO when you actually understand how a feature works, but what ever. to each their own.
