00:22:53FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> Out of curiosity, how powerful is nim script compared to python? Like is it conceivable that it could do the same things if there was a community as large as python's? I know it's kind of a silly question since you can compile the language but I'm just curious.
00:24:42*sagax joined #nim
00:36:03FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Iirc Nimscript is a lot slower than Python + modules like the `os` module aren't implemented because of `exportc` pragmas needing Nim to be compiler
00:36:07FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Compiled
00:36:21FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well they are implemented through VM hooks
00:36:47FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> I thought they weren't implemented last I checked?
00:36:58FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Like, 70-85% of the stdlib
00:37:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can use some of std/os through VM hooks
00:37:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> at compile time atleast
00:37:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> standalone nimscript does not have that functionaly
00:37:51FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Ah
00:38:09FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Does Nimscripter still work? Or is it broken?
00:38:23FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> It should still work
00:38:56FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Then yeah nimscripter can be used to embed nimscript into a Nim program, so you could expose whatever function you want
00:39:08FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> What exactly are the use cases for nim script? Is it just meant to be used when you want to do something really simple?
00:39:44FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> I believe compile time evaluation is one, code inside the `static` block? Beef would know more though
00:40:23FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can use it as standalone
00:40:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> But it's used by the compiler for static evaluation including macros and constant folding
00:42:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can also use it to make tasks for Nim and Nimble
00:42:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nimble files are just glorified nimscript files
00:42:59FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> But if you were doing something like making a game and you wanted to embed a scripting language you'd probably be better off doing lua or something right?
00:43:16FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'm a wasm evangelist for scripting so i'd say no
00:44:14FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> I'm not sure what you mean, are you saying you can embed wasm in a game instead of scripting or something?
00:44:20FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> Because that would be sick
00:44:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Use wasm instead of using lua for scripting yes
00:44:33FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Wasm is just a VM no different to a lua vm
00:45:21FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> I keep hearing about all these amazing things with wasm. I really hope it picks up more.
00:47:13FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> WASM is pretty cool ngl
00:47:35FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Still need to work on that mod using WASM... Sigh
00:47:43FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> The pain of starting so many projects
00:55:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Well @Ayy Lmao https://github.com/beef331/wasm3 does exist so it's a start 😄
00:58:26FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> I'll have to look into that. I was messing around with wasm a long time ago. It has always interested me ever since I heard about it.

11:59:01om3gaHi! Have a question about Tables module. Can ordered table have duplicates, if there will be wrong insertion, or something?
11:59:23om3gaOr maybe I print out the table using wrong iterator
11:59:47om3gafor example for i in ordTable.keys: debugEcho i
12:00:14om3gausing that loop I see duplicate entries, what was unexpected for me
12:02:25om3gaI carefully read the manual, and with use ordTable[key] = @[] initialize the new key in it. but after any other stuff what happens in that function, I assign the values using ordTable[key].add value
12:02:27FromDiscord<Rika> all tables can have duplicates
12:02:36FromDiscord<Rika> using add will make a duplicate
12:02:55FromDiscord<Rika> well, what you wrote wont make any duplicates
12:02:59om3gabut values is of type seq[Type]
12:03:21FromDiscord<Rika> can you give code that shows this behaviour
12:03:32om3gaunfortunately no :\
12:03:50om3gabut what I described is 100% like in the code
12:04:16FromDiscord<Rika> i cant see how it is possible
12:04:22om3gaI even commented out that line with .add, but seems initialization of key in table creates duplicates
12:04:46om3gaI will try to write compact example
12:05:00om3gaRika: yeah, that was surprise for me

13:58:50FromDiscord<Phil> What were your previous ones?
13:58:52PMunch@ringabout, it seems like yyancho added some features for langserver, but since Nimsuggest doesn't really have proper tests ended up breaking it (and by extension the library version)

13:59:59FromDiscord<ringabout> In reply to @PMunch "<@658563905425244160>, it seems like": Yeah, most likely. Does nimlsp have some tests since it has been added to important packages?
14:00:19FromDiscord<ringabout> In reply to @alcatraz "Are there any good": There is a good book to read => https://ssalewski.de/nimprogramming.html
14:00:21FromDiscord<Phil> I can talk your ear of about compile-time evaluation, compilers and how nice nimscript is, but none of that is useful to you yet and will only start mattering once you have a project 😉
14:00:36FromDiscord<alcatraz> In reply to @Isofruit "https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Nim-for-Python": I'm into automation & sometimes make ||malware|| for fun

14:00:53PMunch@ringabout, nothing proper
14:01:02PMunchI want to add some though

14:01:45FromDiscord<ringabout> I see
14:02:54PMunch@alcatraz, Nim struggles with malware vendors labeling basically any Nim-built binary as malware because people keep writing malware in Nim
14:02:57FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @alcatraz "I'm into automation &": Other than that, personally my first suggestion is always: "Find a small project", nothing will teach you quite as much
14:03:05PMunchSo please don't..
14:04:27FromDiscord<alcatraz> I don't plan to publicly use Nim malware, it just helps to learn
14:05:44FromDiscord<Phil> Sidenote, you can use templates in nim to write context-manager like you would use them in python
14:05:52om3gaHah, the problem was not with the debugEcho
14:06:07om3galoop shifted into previous loop body
14:06:27om3gathat's why I had that mystic printout
14:07:05FromDiscord<jmgomez> @ringabout is the plan to fix all regressions before releasing 2.0?
14:07:05om3gamaan, while syntax and such code format is beautiful, it can lead for such errors
14:09:05FromDiscord<ringabout> In reply to @jmgomez "<@658563905425244160> is the plan": Yeah, regressions should be fixed as much as possible before 2.0.

16:59:11FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> Is there a simple idiomatic way to inject fields into an object definition with metaprogramming?
16:59:51FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> The idea is to organize some base fields in another file to inject into platform specific implementations while avoiding polymorphism.
16:59:58FromDiscord<kfdvh> In reply to @PMunch "Hmm, I should really": probably using the CLI interface, not as a Nim library
17:01:02FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @Ayy Lmao "Is there a simple": Sure, you can create a macro that generates an object typedef for you. Based on an existing typedef or any other info you want to give it
17:02:09FromDiscord<auxym> or just use variant objects, or inheritance
17:04:48FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> I usually try to avoid macros since I'm kind of a noob at them. I'll have to look into it though. I would like to avoid runtime polymorphism so I am trying to avoid inheritance.

17:21:24FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @Ayy Lmao "I usually try to": Well you did ask for metaprogramming, which is macros (and templates) 😉 beef's tutorial is pretty good if you want to get started with macros https://dev.to/beef331/demystification-of-macros-in-nim-13n8
17:21:37FromDiscord<auxym> genast makes it super easy to write macros, IMO
17:22:38*junaid_ joined #nim
17:24:38FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> In reply to @auxym "Well you did ask": I hadn't seen that tutorial so I'll take a look, thanks. My problem with macros isn't necessarily that I don't understand them, it's just that they become unintelligible once I write them and forget about them and come back to them some day. Maybe I just suck at writing them though.
17:25:14FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> I have also in the past gotten absolutely absurd errors using macros before.
17:25:35FromDiscord<auxym> they do become unintelligible 🙂
17:26:32FromDiscord<auxym> depending on your definition of "runtime polymorphism" though, if you use object inheritance with regular procs, rather than methods, they will use statically dispatched calls
17:26:43FromDiscord<auxym> procs = static dispatch, method = dynamic dispatch
17:27:15FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> In reply to @auxym "depending on your definition": I was wondering about that.
17:27:32FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4rml
17:28:23FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> While incurring zero overhead, as if I had just written win32 on its own
17:29:45FromDiscord<Ayy Lmao> Injecting base functions is easy because I can just use templates, but injecting the fields seems harder.
17:30:13FromDiscord<cloud> In reply to @Ayy Lmao "Injecting base functions is": Inject fields mean fast ?!?
17:31:19FromDiscord<auxym> In reply to @Ayy Lmao "So what I want": I'm pretty sure you'd have to write a macro to do that. Pass in the base object typedef as an argument, introspect it with `fieldPairs`, and generate a new object typedef based on that
17:31:39FromDiscord<auxym> I mean you could try a template, but I'm not sure it'll work

18:52:46FromDiscord<jtv> It gets even worse if you have multiple internal packages you're building with dependencies. If you find a good solution I'd love to hear it. I essentially have a nimble dev target to automatically copy the files over.

19:36:20anddamdemotomohiro: why are the `B[float].` prefixes required in the second assert?
19:36:35anddamI mean rather than just [b0, b1]
19:37:05anddamGumbercules: what's the alternative? I thought nimble was the recommended tool
19:38:06FromDiscord<Gumbercules> In reply to @anddam "<@204328759715692544>: what's the alternative?": it is, but that doesn't mean it's good at what it does... I just git submodule my dependencies which also sucks, but it's less of a headache than Nimble
19:38:17FromDiscord<Gumbercules> There are a few other package managers people have developed but I haven't used any of them
19:38:27FromDiscord<Gumbercules> nimph is one, pretty sure there is at least one other

19:45:48FromDiscord<demotomohiro> @anddam I don't why enum `B` has a generic parameter but it has.↔So using enum `B` requires a generic parameter like `B[float]`.
19:46:28Zevvhuantian: where did you find out about nimph. nobody knows nimph. no one uses nimph.
19:46:43FromDiscord<huantian> somewhere in this discord
19:46:51FromDiscord<huantian> maybe beef mentioned it?
19:47:02Zevvah, likely

19:51:39FromDiscord<Gumbercules> I'm only kidding though, he's a swell guy
19:51:43FromDiscord<Phil> "Never trust somebody that releases a package called balls"
19:51:46FromDiscord<Phil> Got it
19:51:47FromDiscord<Gumbercules> can be a huge asshole, but who can't
19:52:37FromDiscord<Phil> Anyway, I am still shocked and aghast that I can't import nimscript files into a nimscript file
19:52:43FromDiscord<Phil> That is heresy and evil and I don't like it
19:53:52FromDiscord<Phil> I may even be tempted to call it mean
19:54:47FromDiscord<Gumbercules> definitely sounds limiting
19:54:50Zevvdisruptek is prolific as hell, a lot of stuff he makes is smart and useful
19:54:55Zevvit's a shame he got chased away, really
19:55:39Zevvballs, cps, nimph, all excellent stuff, but somehow people don't pick it up
19:56:39FromDiscord<Gumbercules> people were too busy getting impressed by snake in the browser and io games
19:56:47FromDiscord<Gumbercules> and web forums
19:57:00Zevvyeah i guess. he's just too smart isn't he
19:57:36FromDiscord<Gumbercules> I don't know, that whole situation was quite ridiculous
19:57:57FromDiscord<Gumbercules> and it's not like he's the only talented person that's been chased off / has run away due to said ridiculousness
19:59:05FromDiscord<Gumbercules> but the community and dev team both seem to be evolving so I guess that's a good thing? time will tell
19:59:25FromDiscord<Gumbercules> maybe some former contributors / package developers will come back into the fold
20:00:35FromDiscord<Gumbercules> and yes sometimes I think disruptek is too smart and that fact is lost on him - especially when he attempts to explain how something he's already familiar with, works
20:01:05Zevvbut it's all trivial
20:01:11Zevvhow can you not understand
20:01:15FromDiscord<Gumbercules> lol
20:01:24FromDiscord<Gumbercules> I remember when he was showing me his ebay app
20:01:54FromDiscord<Gumbercules> and I'm like dude I have no idea what the fuck this thing does
20:02:55FromDiscord<Gumbercules> he was asking for feedback on some design stuff and I was like - what exactly are you trying to build here? you should step back and figure that out first - I will never make such a suggestion to disruptek again
20:04:08Zevvi'll never talk to him at all. asshole.
20:04:16FromDiscord<Gumbercules> that's not a bad route to go either
20:04:40FromDiscord<Gumbercules> you probably wouldn't be able to make out any words anyway between the bong rips and dog barking
20:04:59FromDiscord<Gumbercules> I'm just joking - I don't think disruptek smokes a lot of pot
20:05:12FromDiscord<Gumbercules> he doesn't mess with that kiddy shit
20:05:23Zevvwe had a real nice weekend in brussels during fosdem, he's pretty cool to hang around with
20:05:28Zevvalso, he's not a smoker
20:05:31FromDiscord<Gumbercules> oh I can imagine
20:05:39FromDiscord<Gumbercules> yeah I don't know what drugs he's into
20:05:39FromDiscord<Phil> I think nimph adoption or the like mostly just shows how valuable being "official" is in terms for a project getting promotion
20:06:04FromDiscord<Gumbercules> Nimble was only "official" because at the time there was nothing else
20:06:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Doesnt help that Nimble cannot build nimph
20:06:16FromDiscord<Gumbercules> and the author liked to cargo cult everything they made
20:07:19FromDiscord<Phil> One of these days I'll actually remember what the default os procs are to get a directory in a path on its own as well as the filename
20:07:56FromDiscord<Gumbercules> In reply to @Zevv "we had a real": I also wish I could attend fosdem, maybe one of these years
20:08:05FromDiscord<Gumbercules> I don't think making a baby helped my chances
20:08:49Zevvi've seen babies at fosdem
20:09:05FromDiscord<jmgomez> looks cool, did the guy left the community or what?
20:09:16Zevvhe got banned
20:09:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Disruptek doesnt have the best control over his words 😄
20:09:33Zevvi forgot why. it was something silly like usual
20:09:51FromDiscord<jmgomez> ouch, hopefully nothing political
20:09:59Zevvno, we have other people for political nonsense
20:10:00FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Called someone's code "dogshit and actively harming the community"
20:10:03FromDiscord<Gumbercules> to be fair, the person that banned him was turning this place into a marxist hellscape
20:10:14FromDiscord<Gumbercules> well the code was dogshit
20:10:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The hyperbole
20:10:45FromDiscord<jmgomez> so the one who banned him, left the community?
20:10:53FromDiscord<jmgomez> like double kill?
20:11:05FromDiscord<Gumbercules> I think technically Andreas banned him
20:11:17FromDiscord<Gumbercules> but the person who wanted the ban has left
20:11:28Zevvbecause of andreas
20:11:32FromDiscord<Gumbercules> because they were the worst
20:11:35Zevvit's, like, complicated
20:11:38FromDiscord<Gumbercules> and because of Andreas
20:11:41FromDiscord<Gumbercules> and because they're a SJW
20:11:46FromDiscord<Gumbercules> but that's another tangent entirely
20:12:12FromDiscord<jmgomez> hmm I see
20:12:55FromDiscord<Gumbercules> there were a lot of issues going on in the community around that time and afterwards
20:13:11FromDiscord<Gumbercules> just people not doing the things that needed to get done and instead getting caught up in drama / politics
20:13:17Zevvyeah, those were the days. boy i miss all that
20:13:32FromDiscord<Gumbercules> was definitely 🍿 material
20:14:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Anywho this conversation is one ready for a dumpster fire
20:15:25FromDiscord<Phil> Agreed
20:15:32FromDiscord<jmgomez> hmm dunno sick of polarization TBH. Didnt see any around here which I guess it's a good sign
20:15:50FromDiscord<Phil> Now on to the tragedy that is nimscript files not being able of importing other nimscript files
20:16:20FromDiscord<jmgomez> In reply to @Isofruit "Now on to the": how so? Didnt even tried yet
20:16:24FromDiscord<jmgomez> I thought that was possible
20:16:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You can only import `.nim`
20:16:40FromDiscord<jmgomez> hmm well, I guess you can readFile
20:16:45FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You might be able to do `import "mynim.nims"`

20:17:40FromDiscord<Phil> In reply to @Elegantbeef "You might be able": Because that did it
20:17:45FromDiscord<jmgomez> I see, cant you compound them as workaround?
20:17:56FromDiscord<jmgomez> ohh nice
20:17:59FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The issue is the extension 😄
20:18:17FromDiscord<jmgomez> lol, that should be an easy PR Phil.. 😛

20:20:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `.(test, nims)`
20:20:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nim's import does not use the dot expr
20:20:50FromDiscord<Phil> Going the string way did it again
20:21:04FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Of course
20:21:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `.nims` can import `.nim`
20:24:58FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I do not even think there is a PR here
20:25:13FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Say you have a standalone file with a nimscript file for it's config
20:25:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> you're inside nimscript and attempt to `import mylibrary` which should it pull in
20:26:03FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `.nim` then fallback to `.nims` perhaps might make sense
20:28:33FromDiscord<Phil> Can you just write a file and have the os create all directories for you if any in the path are missing?
20:29:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I think you need to do it recursively

20:57:48FromDiscord<4zv4l> that's weird because when I cross compiled it to my raspberry pi

21:02:14FromDiscord<4zv4l> do I need to install it or I can add a flag to specify it ?
21:03:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I think the solution is generally visualise an older environment and compile there
21:04:15FromDiscord<4zv4l> I think I'm just gonna download nim on my server↔quicker to do I think xD↔I don't get why it doesn't work when it's statically linked tho

21:12:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Best to dynamically link on a virtualised environment
21:12:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yea that's now how you static link anything really
21:12:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Or just compile on your server
21:13:28FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> > warning\: Using 'dlopen' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
21:13:46FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> That means something you relied upon uses dlopen and you need to also statically link that
21:14:20FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> When it comes to static binaries it's a path of static linking everything
21:15:10FromDiscord<4zv4l> the only external library I use is `dimscord`
21:15:15FromDiscord<4zv4l> but yeah it's ok
21:15:16FromDiscord<caravaggio> am i the only one that finds nim exercism challenges bad?
21:15:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `-d:ssl` says otherwise
21:15:55FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I think they can be bad depending if you solve them idiomatically
21:24:42FromDiscord<4zv4l> In reply to @Elegantbeef "`-d:ssl` says otherwise": yeah right I didn't see it that way xD
21:34:37FromDiscord<Dudugz> I made a simple file to compile and test my binaries :v so i just ``debug run`` or ``debug build`` or ``debug`` for both. More practical than going to each one's directory, compiling with ``-d:ssl`` and then going back to the binaries directory and running each one

22:51:14FromDiscord<Nilts> Anyone have a way to pretty print tree-like objects?
23:22:13FromDiscord<Nilts> nvm i found treeform/print
23:43:28FromDiscord<treeform> It's me
23:45:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> No it's "it'sa me"

23:52:31anddamin fact I am going to sleep, thought I could just update cimgui then nimgl/imgui in turn
23:52:42FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Just join the wasm scripting evangelism
23:52:50anddambtw why is there even a "thin C wrapper" on top of Dear Imgui is that is C++
23:52:52anddamC++
23:53:11anddamx/is that/ c/if that is/
23:53:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Are you asking "why does cimgui" exist?
23:53:21anddamyes
23:53:41anddamis that because C is the lingua franca of programming?
23:53:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Cause if you want to use dear imgui from another language it's much better to have a system library then attempt to bind to C++
23:54:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> To use dear-imgui you need to support compiling C++
23:54:17FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> to use cimgui since it's a system library you need `dlOpen` or similar
23:54:42anddamwhat's a "system" library, exactly?

23:55:50FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> In reply to @Elegantbeef "Just join the wasm": Yes
23:56:00FromDiscord<Hourglass [She/Her]> Still need to work on that mod....
23:57:25FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> The thing with using source libraries is you can only use what symbols are compiled, if no one marked the procedures as `extern` it will not persist past compilation
23:57:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Dead code elimination is wonderful
23:59:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Like `proc doThing = discard` is removed if not called in Nim, but if you do `proc doThing {.extern: "doThing".} = discard` it's compiled in
