00:06:05FromDiscord<sOkam!> its a bit complex, which is why i didn't. but will do

00:16:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> What is line 91?
00:16:06FromDiscord<sOkam!> If you see some lib import missing, the are actually in the files
00:16:23FromDiscord<sOkam!> The output of compiling?
00:16:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `proc decodeTga(data: string): Tga =`
00:16:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you dont do `new result`
00:16:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> QED
00:17:05FromDiscord<sOkam!> I thought result exists by default without creating it 🤔
00:17:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It's a ref type
00:17:17FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You need to heap allocate the memory
00:17:21FromDiscord<sOkam!> ah kk
00:18:05FromDiscord<sOkam!> `result = new result`?
00:18:11FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `new ressult`

00:41:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> This isnt even a ref issue
00:41:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> it's a seq issue
00:41:16FromDiscord<sOkam!> what's the diff?
00:41:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you're doing `[i]` without doing `result = newSeq[T](size)`

11:57:22FromDiscord<ezquerra> If you define operator `+` for a type, do you automatically get the corresponding operator `+=`? I thought it would but it does not seem to be the case...
12:02:25FromDiscord<Rika> you do not
12:03:42FromDiscord<Rika> i guess you can make it so by `proc +=[T](a: var T; b: T) = a = a + b` ofc with the correct backticks
12:04:04FromDiscord<Rika> but i think in general its not desirable
12:04:22FromDiscord<ezquerra> Why not?

12:10:44FromDiscord<Rika> In reply to @Rika "i guess you can": `proc +=[T, U](a: var T; b: U) = a = a + b` allows for more "flexibility" since sometimes you have a + that takes two different types

12:40:19FromDiscord<jos> is there a way to trivially compile nim to wasm
12:40:27FromDiscord<jos> like without installing a third party toolchain or something
12:43:18FromDiscord<auxym> mostly using emscripten afaik. eg: https://github.com/beef331/wasm3
12:46:16FromDiscord<jos> thanks i'll try that
13:07:57FromDiscord<Rika> emscripten is "a third party toolchain"
13:09:07FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In reply to @jos "thanks i'll try that": There's also nlvm, which is just Nim but generates LLVM directly
13:09:32FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm
13:09:59FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> In reply to @jos "like without installing a": Also, if you already have clang installed, it's possible to use that to generate WASM
13:11:20FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Nim likely never will have native WASM support though since really, it's not needed, since it uses a C (or C++) compiler (like emscripten and clang), and those can already output WASM↵↵As in, compilers exist for C and C++ to compile it to WASM
13:16:34FromDiscord<jos> with WASI coming around it would be nicer than using emscripten
13:17:42FromDiscord<jos> i think that would unlock more execution environments too
13:18:01FromDiscord<jos> since emscripten generates js shims, it basically only works in the browser or node, or something with a js runtime too
13:18:24FromDiscord<jos> but with wasi you can embed wasm modules in say, your own application for scripting support, without a js runtime
13:18:42FromDiscord<jos> not sure how accurate all that is but it's my understanding
13:19:04FromDiscord<jos> nvm emscripten supports wasi now too
13:26:12FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @flywind "True, and 2.0 is": Is it really? Would be nice to get an official heads up with final list of breaking changes. Last I checked there was still a bunch of open RFCs with ongoing discussion about which breaking changes should make it into 2.0
13:36:25FromDiscord<ringabout> Breaking changes are always documented in the changelog.
13:36:52FromDiscord<ringabout> https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/changelog.md#changes-affecting-backward-compatibility
13:44:57FromDiscord<Phil> Wait a sec, I thought the correct way to raise an exception is raise stuff with the error suffix. Isn't defect suffix only for when you want to program to crash if this is encountered? Why does error get deprecated?
13:47:15FromDiscord<Rika> what do you mean
13:47:59FromDiscord<Rika> raising stuff with the error suffix (that are aliased to defect) is equivalent to raising stuff with the defect suffix
13:48:08FromDiscord<Rika> they were aliased for compat. reasons
13:48:53FromDiscord<Rika> "but i wanted to avoid the dialect fracture" you cannot i believe

14:01:00FromDiscord<Phil> Ah, the defect aliases get deprecated, but a bunch of errors in general. I think I just didnt parse the sentence as such
14:01:15FromDiscord<Phil> (edit) "but" => "not"
14:02:18FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Question: What's the appropriate way to represent literals in Nim?
14:02:38FromDiscord<Phil> ?
14:03:17FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> The code here is written in Java and uses the `Object` type to represent literals in Nim, idk how to handle them: https://craftinginterpreters.com/representing-code.html#:~:text=expression%22%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%22-,Literal%20%20%3A%20Object,-value%22%2C
14:04:29FromDiscord<Phil> Sorry I just dropped off from sports so a bit slow right now, so literally just representing strings known at compile time only need within a module?
14:04:46FromDiscord<Phil> Or is this about string interpolation
14:05:48FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Dw! I'm making an interpreter and currently on the part about representing the AST, I'm trying to figure out how to store them like CI is talking about
14:05:54FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> I think that makes sense?
14:06:56FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> I'll figure this out later actually

14:13:32FromDiscord<Horizon [She/Her]> Fair enough, i'm probably rambling a bit too haha
14:24:46FromDiscord<Phil> Mostly because I see string literal, I immediately think "why not just put it in a const?"↵Thus I'm not understanding the "representation" aspect of it
14:25:11FromDiscord<Phil> I'm reasonably sure you're not after variable assignment, but can't imagine what else, thus perplexion

15:30:47FromDiscord<auxym> @Horizon [She/Her] use a variant object, like the nim compiler itself does? nnkStringLiteral, nnkIntLiteral, etc. Each variant kind has a field with the value of appropriate type.
15:31:22FromDiscord<auxym> If you want more inspiration, you can search github for nim implementations of lox / crafting interpreters, there are a few out there
15:34:21FromDiscord<auxym> I'm pretty that writing compilers/parsers/ASTs is the main reason Araq included variant objects in the language 😛

16:58:26PMunch@qb, what confuses you?
17:00:05PMunchAh, never mind, I see where you got confused
17:00:35PMunchWhen you set your pixel you only use the x coordinate, try this instead: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4dfO
17:01:41PMunchOr this, if you want an actual 2D array without doing the math yourself: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4dfS
17:01:55PMunchThe data is stored exactly the same in memory either way
17:04:33FromDiscord<SREagle> nice to know, the 2nd looks more intuitive, I would probably have used the 1st approach, since I do so in other languages, Thx for the example!
17:06:41FromDiscord<qb> In reply to @PMunch "Or this, if you": Yea I got it. But thats even better

17:09:56FromDiscord<Scoobery Doobery> I omitted the contents of `draw` for clarity. It seems like `FnPtr` aliases a `func` correctly, but the compile error convinces me that's not the case
17:10:50FromDiscord<Scoobery Doobery> Since `func` isn't allowed in type descriptions, I can't specify that for my `FnPtr` type
17:14:19PMunch@Scoobery_Doobery, not quite sure, this seems to work fine: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4dg0
17:15:04FromDiscord<Scoobery Doobery> On the latest as well. Damn.
17:15:19FromDiscord<Scoobery Doobery> Must be some other package I imported or something. Urgh
17:15:21PMunchHuh?
17:15:35FromDiscord<Scoobery Doobery> I just mean we're both on the latest versions of Nim
17:15:36PMunchTry to create a minimal sample you can shar
17:15:39PMunchshare*
17:16:05PMunchOh right, the playground should automatically update to always be the latest version
17:16:13PMunchCurrently it's running 1.6.8 I believe
17:19:56FromDiscord<Patitotective> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4dg3
17:20:47PMunchHmm, hard to tell without seeing how it's used
17:21:19PMunchTypically I'd expect node.len to return node.children.len, but without any context for how this is to be used it's hard to tell if that would be intuitive or not
17:21:46PMunch(If you've provided context elsewhere I'm sorry, just joined the channel :))
17:22:30FromDiscord<Scoobery Doobery> Not sure what was up with my code before, but rewriting it differently seems to have got rid of the error. Still, I have no clue what I did wrong initially lmao
17:23:56PMunchMight been a silly typo somewhere

17:31:35PMunchHmm, yeah in that case I think what you proposed would make sense
17:31:47PMunchWell, it depends on what's most commonly used I guess
17:33:06*wallabra quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
17:35:03PMunchHmm, or maybe it's better to be explicit. Look at the nested child nodes for example
17:35:19PMunchWhat would you expect `section[0]` to be?
17:35:26PMunchOr `section.len` for that matter

18:14:04FromDiscord<Patitotective> In reply to @PMunch "Hmm, yeah in that": i think ill just keep the most intuitive ones which i think are `node["key"]`, `node["key"]=` and `node.add` since it can have two overloads for `KdlNode` (add to children) and `KdlVal` (add to args)↵`node[0]` and `node.len` can be confused with arguments and children↵:]

19:16:38PMunchHmm, removing the T but otherwise those are fine I guess
19:16:46FromDiscord<Patitotective> wonder if you could make a `range[0.25, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 10, 20]`
19:16:55FromDiscord<Patitotective> (edit) "wonder if you could make a `range[0.25, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 10, 20]` ... " added "or w/e"
19:17:01PMunchI was considering ms or us though..
19:17:05FromDiscord<auxym> I sometimes prefix the unit for stuff like that
19:17:16PMunchYeah that's what I was thinking
19:17:23FromDiscord<auxym> so ms05, etc
19:17:30FromDiscord<auxym> or us500 i guess
19:17:57FromDiscord<auxym> and I tend to use {.pure.}
19:18:20PMunch`type StandBy = enum us500, us62500, ms125, ms250, ms500, ms1000, ms10, ms20`
19:18:26PMunchSomething like that?
19:18:49*derpydoo joined #nim
19:18:50PMunchDoes pure really do anything nowadays though?
19:19:10FromDiscord<Patitotective> you gotta always do `StandBy.us500` afaik
19:19:21PMunchThat was how they used to work
19:19:26PMunchBut that was removed quite a while ago
19:19:47PMunchAnd about the range thing, I would assign the values that I need to write the register as the value for the enum
19:20:23PMunchAh, but you wanted to be able to write 0.5 and it auto-converted to 001 I guess
19:21:35PMunchI guess I could use custom numeric literals: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#numeric-literals-custom-numeric-literals
19:21:59PMunchAnd have something like 0.26'ms
19:22:23PMunchOr 0.5'sbt (short for stand-by time)
19:24:01PMunchOr of course a `converter toStandByTime(x: static[SomeNumber]): StandBy = <Conversion logic>`
19:24:57FromDiscord<Patitotective> i think using custom numeric literals would be really neat
19:25:02FromDiscord<Patitotective> idiomatic
19:42:10PMunch@Patitotective, something like this? https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4dgJ
19:42:18PMunchDoesn't handle 62.50 though :P
19:47:53PMunchNot sure if I can import strutils on a microcontroller though..
19:52:41FromDiscord<Patitotective> @PMunch https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4dgN
19:52:55FromDiscord<Patitotective> could also use `parseEnum`
19:54:59PMunchHmm, yeah that works I guess
20:07:07FromDiscord<halc> little question, if I slice a view type with `someView[a..b]`, will that make a copy? Or should I use `toOpenArray` again?
20:07:16FromDiscord<halc> (edit) "again?" => "again to prevent that?"
20:10:07FromDiscord<Generic> the latter
20:10:21FromDiscord<halc> I see
20:10:32FromDiscord<Generic> slicing returns a seq, so it copies

22:26:51FromDiscord<jos> how does the acyclic pragma work if you have a tree, for example, which is acyclic except it can contain userdata-- and there's no guarantee that userdata may contain a node in the tree
22:27:06FromDiscord<jos> is there a strategy for something like that
22:27:53FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The pragma tells the compiler the structure does not ever reference itself
22:28:07FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You could use a `{.cursor.}` but that means you have to be sure about ownership

23:34:51FromDiscord<Phil> That might turn into a problem, if you want to store them together in a seq or table or sth. They need to be of the same type. The only alternative you have that I'm aware of is object variants, which are only an option if the number of different procs is limited
23:42:29FromDiscord<40yd> In reply to @Isofruit "That might turn into": ic, so if i put pre-defined Types to enum, it might be possible. I'll try it:)
