01:47:27FromGitter<Varriount> @Araq How would I go about parsing JSON at compile time?
01:47:46FromGitter<Varriount> The current JSON module won't work at compile time

01:52:06*chemist69 joined #nim
01:56:23FromGitter<Varriount> And getting 'when nimvm' working is going to require some effort, as it's "special"
02:02:15libmanhttps://github.com/OpenSystemsLab/jsmn.nim
02:06:27FromGitter<Varriount> libman: Did you write that?
02:06:45libmanNo. I didn't write anything of note.
02:08:35FromGitter<Varriount> Well, hopefully it will work at compile time.
02:09:12FromGitter<Varriount> I've hit a dead end trying to modify the standard library, as 'when nimvm' doesn't work in type sections.
02:12:14libmanA couple other JSON libs in nimble. Hopefully at least one of them works. Sad though.
02:13:15libmanYou can always do the equivalent of `go generate` /irony
02:13:49FromGitter<Varriount> I know it's all magical, but I wish 'when nimvm' worked like a regular when condition
02:17:20FromGitter<Varriount> Ugh, the problem with that library is that it requires a fixed buffer of memory. :/
02:20:51FromGitter<Varriount> Still, it works at compile time
02:24:03libmanThat library is AL2, so you didn't hear about it from me. ;)
02:26:35FromGitter<Varriount> AL2?
02:33:54libmanHmm, https://github.com/OpenSystemsLab/jsmn.nim/blob/master/jsmn.nim says "Apache license" in a comment but everything else says MIT.
02:34:42*pilne quit (Quit: Quitting!)
02:35:31FromGitter<Varriount> Bah. I think I'll just put off JSON parsing then.

06:25:41FromGitter<zacharycarter> ftsf: couple of things
06:26:24FromGitter<zacharycarter> 1) is the source code available? if not making it so I think would compound the interest levels it potentilaly draws
06:26:30FromGitter<zacharycarter> potentially*
06:27:25FromGitter<zacharycarter> 2) I think we still need more of an ecosystem before Nim becomes really popular for gaming. Even if SDL2 is the established / popular way for building games with Nim - I'm still not sure things exist like support for tiled maps etc
06:28:22ftsfzachary, yep source is available (requirement for the competition)
06:28:29*yglukhov quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
06:28:35FromGitter<zacharycarter> ah good
06:28:45ArrrrLink?
06:28:59FromGitter<zacharycarter> I didn't realize that nimgame2 had support for tilemaps already, maybe I'm just making things up then
06:29:02ftsfi've got tilemap loading from Tiled json output
06:29:11FromGitter<zacharycarter> nice :)
06:29:11ftsfhttps://github.com/ftsf/ld38-smalltrek
06:29:18ftsfquite trivial to do
06:30:01FromGitter<zacharycarter> yeah I'm doing the same thing with frag right now
06:30:12FromGitter<zacharycarter> I made this over the weekend
06:30:37ftsfand now Tiled won't compile after upgrading my distro so i wrote a tilemap editor in nim
06:30:44FromGitter<zacharycarter> http://imgur.com/a/ItL5G
06:31:04ftsfcute!
06:31:04FromGitter<zacharycarter> are you going to publish it ftsf? I'd love to use it for frag
06:31:24ftsfat some point, it's currently very basic and built on top of nico
06:31:51FromGitter<zacharycarter> ah okay gotcha
06:33:00FromGitter<zacharycarter> ftsf: I take it you're not using the zlib compression from tiled or at least you weren't when you wrote your json parser?
06:33:08ftsfnope
06:33:24ftsfnot using any compression
06:33:33FromGitter<zacharycarter> it'd be nice if a pure nim solution was arrived at in whatever you end up building for your map editor
06:33:41FromGitter<zacharycarter> for compression I mean
06:34:11FromGitter<zacharycarter> I guess if the data is small enough it doesn't matter, but huge tile maps could get heavy

11:03:47PMunchHmm, I've set up a very simple server with Jester and MySql
11:04:19PMunchBasically it has a data-in post request and a couple data-out get requests that returns JSON formatted data, simple stuff
11:05:20ftsfmmm i haven't tried jester yet, nice to use?
11:05:25PMunchBut for performance reasons I'd like to keep a MySQL connection open and not have to reconnect for every lookup, but the connection keeps timing out because of inactivity. What's the preferred way of dealing with this?
11:05:38PMunchftsf, yeah Jester is really nice
11:05:46PMunchThe entire server is ~160 lines long :P
11:05:51ftsfcool
11:05:59ftsfPMunch, use a connection pooling proxy?
11:06:35PMunchHmm, well that might work
11:07:11PMunchBut then I'd need to check the connections to see if they are up..
11:09:07PMunchCurrently I'm wrapping my db connections in a try catch and see if I get the error code for a disconnected server and then try again once

11:17:55ftsfPMunch, the pooling software should take care of that
11:18:06*yglukhov joined #nim
11:18:59ftsfit's basically a piece of dumb software that opens N sql connections and forwards incoming requests to one of the connections in the pool and returns the results.
11:19:47ftsfcan open more if needed and then close extra ones if they've been around too long and keep a minimum number open
11:22:19PMunchWell I really only need one for this
11:22:27PMunchIt's not meant to scale
11:22:56PMunchAnd I could just program in a timer based on my MySql timeout but I feel that's cheating :P
11:23:12PMunchWhat if I change the timeout and forgot I had it hard-coded into my server..
11:23:29ftsfquery it?
11:23:35ftsfsend keepalives
11:24:23ftsfmysql_options(&mysql, MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT, &reconnect);
11:25:01ftsfhmm doesn't look like nim's db_mysql can set options
11:25:35ftsfoh, you have to use mysql not db_mysql
11:25:37PMunchWell there is the mysql module which lies behind it
11:26:08ftsfhmm which can only set server options, not client options
11:26:40ftsfthere's a reconnect field on St_mysql
11:27:21ftsfi'm sure there's a way to set it, but i'm not sure how =p
11:29:30PMunchYeah I tried to set it but that did nothing :P
11:29:48ftsfmysql.options(OPT_RECONNECT, cast[cstring](somethingWithValueZero))
11:30:03ftsferr 1 rather than 0

11:32:34PMunchBontaVlad, ref object of RootObject supports inheritance
11:32:47ftsfobject of RootObject can be inherited from, just object cannot
11:33:00PMunchStructurally it keeps its type information at offset 0
11:33:03ftsfobject of RootObject has a hidden field to store the type

11:36:23FromGitter<BontaVlad> Does anybody use spacemacs for nim development? With the newer version, autocomplete is blocking every time it queries nim-suggest, and flycheck-nim seems broken
11:37:10FromGitter<BontaVlad> I looked on the nim-mode project page and flycheck issues, but I found nothing to get me started in fixing these issues
11:41:35*yglukhov quit (Remote host closed the connection)
11:41:40ftsfi'm not sure what spacemacs is, but nimsuggest doesn't work for me at all
11:44:00FromGitter<BontaVlad> oh, spacemacs is just emacs with some fancy packages/configuration.
11:44:31FromGitter<zacharycarter> yeah it's not working for me either with vscode
11:44:33FromGitter<zacharycarter> as far as I can tell
11:45:36FromGitter<BontaVlad> in my case it seems that nimsuggest returns the correct output, it just blocks my editor for like 3 seconds every time it queryes
11:45:56FromGitter<BontaVlad> and flycheck worked as expected in the 0.16x version
11:46:22FromGitter<BontaVlad> I think nimsuggest change the output format :\
11:47:06FromGitter<BontaVlad> elisp seems alien to me :), so I have a hard time tracking down the issue

14:41:54xyz_ Warning: File 'pwm.nim' inside package 'boneGPIO' is outside of the permitted namespace, should be inside a directory named 'boneGPIO' but is in a directory named 'bone' instead. This will be an error in the future.
14:42:25FromGitter<andreaferretti> yup
14:42:34FromGitter<andreaferretti> it is exactly what it says
14:42:41xyz_ahd how tp fix it
14:42:51FromGitter<andreaferretti> the file should be inside a directory named bone :-P
14:43:10FromGitter<andreaferretti> the fact is that nimble is kind of standardizing the package structure
14:43:25xyz_well the folder structure is like this: /boneGPIO.git/src/bone/pwm.nim

14:44:32xyz_so is the .git that is doesn't like
14:44:34FromGitter<andreaferretti> you can have foo.nim

14:45:24FromGitter<andreaferretti> people will import it as foo or foo/something
14:45:39FromGitter<andreaferretti> in your case the package is called boneGPIO
14:45:46FromGitter<andreaferretti> but you import as bone/something
14:47:08xyz_but then what is the point of the srcDir = "src"?
14:47:13xyz_in the nimble file
14:47:29*Neomex joined #nim
14:48:19demi-because you might want to specify a subdirectory that has the code files of the library and keep the tests separate
14:49:24*chemist69 joined #nim
14:50:38xyz_ok, I don't think I really understand the problem, but let me digg around a bit more. Thanks for now
14:51:54FromGitter<andreaferretti> your entry point is src
14:52:17FromGitter<andreaferretti> this means that one has to import bone/pwm instead of src/bone/pwm
14:52:25xyz_yes
14:52:26FromGitter<andreaferretti> but still the package name does not match
14:52:37FromGitter<andreaferretti> the package name is boneGPIO
14:53:13xyz_but that mean the path should be bonGPIO/src/BoneGPIO/bone/pwm.nim?
14:53:29xyz_that is just stupid :)
14:54:41FromGitter<andreaferretti> nope
14:54:47FromGitter<andreaferretti> src/boneGPIO/pwn.nim
14:55:09FromGitter<andreaferretti> then people could do `import boneGPIO/pwm`
14:55:12xyz_and what do I do with the files in src/
14:55:30FromGitter<andreaferretti> uh?
14:55:47FromGitter<andreaferretti> just rename src/bone to src/boneGPIO
14:55:47euantorThere should be only one file in src/
14:55:53FromGitter<andreaferretti> nothing else has to change
14:55:57xyz_BTW this is the repo I am talking about
14:55:58xyz_https://github.com/xyz32/boneGPIO
14:55:59euantorsrc/boneGPIO.nim
14:56:21FromGitter<andreaferretti> yeah also rename bone.nim to boneGPIO.nim
14:56:28xyz_aaaa
14:56:31xyz_right
14:56:52FromGitter<andreaferretti> long story short, you cannot have a package named boneGPIO which uses the namespace bone
14:57:05FromGitter<andreaferretti> you either change one or the other
14:57:19xyz_ok
14:57:24xyz_I will give it a go
14:57:27xyz_see what happens
14:57:29xyz_thanks
14:58:34LyndsySimonThe only thing I don't like about Nim so far is how it implicitly imports symbols into your namespace when you include something. Python is the only language I feel got that right.
14:59:02LyndsySimonEverything else though feels like a very nice balance between a lisp and a scripting language. It "feels" good.
14:59:53FromGitter<andreaferretti> it turns out it is much less of an issue as you would thin
14:59:55FromGitter<andreaferretti> think
15:00:00FromGitter<andreaferretti> because of overloading
15:00:13FromGitter<andreaferretti> python cannot have overloading because of dynamic types
15:00:22FromGitter<andreaferretti> hence must be more conservative
15:00:29LyndsySimonI don't think it's really an issue per se, just a stylistic difference.
15:01:16LyndsySimonI'm not sure Python *can't* have overloading, especially with the metadata stuff added in 3.x - but it doesn't make sense to.

15:10:50vivusyes, I did build from source
15:12:00euantorOk, easiest thing is to install choosenim, delete the existing version of Nim (and remove it from your PATH), and install via choosenim
15:12:12euantorTHen updating future versions can be done through choosenim easily :)

18:43:24Arrrrplanhths, you can test and cast with `if g of ABC: let g = ABC(g)`. But i don't really know what are you trying to achieve, so i can't give better suggestions. You maybe want to checkout methods and closures

21:51:30FromGitter<ephja> it would be neat if `±` could be called like this: x ± y
21:56:30PMunchWell, Nim doesn't have that. And it is one of Gos killer features..
21:57:07PMunchHowever something similar could probably be implemented with some simple macro magic :P

22:07:31Trioxinpff. Go...
22:09:23Trioxinthe best thing about Go is the wealth of packages. that and goroutines. pretty much packages

22:24:28TrioxinNim forum is kinda bleh. try this ( https://www.discourse.org/ ) or at least xenforo. Maybe the forum was coded in Nim (idk) but some things don't need to be a reinvented wheel.
22:25:04PMunchTrioxin, yeah it was written in Nim to show that it could be done
22:25:06PMunchIIRC

22:26:48PMunchlibman, if you want a comeback you could write something about how Nim gives you the choice. If you want to implement something like goroutines then you can do that, but you can have actual threads if you want that.
22:27:21libmanIf you use reddit, wanna post that yourself?
22:33:50PMunchSure
22:34:04PMunchHmm, I'm having some trouble with Jester
22:34:40PMunchIt's not stopping when I do 'resp404, "Error message"'
22:35:00PMunchSorry, 'resp Http404, "Error message"'
22:39:26Trioxinhow to specify multiple possible variable types for 1 proc argument? I forgot
22:40:31Trioxinprox bla(user: int, string)?
22:40:35PMunchor
22:40:37Trioxinproc*
22:40:44PMunchproc bla(user: int or string)
22:40:50PMunchI think

23:09:41FromGitter<ephja> oops. edited it without testing. it's actually a tuple with two of those tuples. kinda neat
23:15:13FromGitter<Varriount> Anyone able to figure out how to pass a complex static type to a macro? I can't seem to get this to work: https://gist.github.com/Varriount/a9c2902b39bea50d4b165600dda3f9e8

23:18:52FromGitter<ephja> I see you are also living on the edge
23:19:24FromGitter<ephja> those constructs are quite fragile

23:21:28FromGitter<ephja> I try to find workarounds and then introduce conditional compilation

23:43:06FromGitter<Varriount> @ephja The plan is to parse a JSON file, and emit types and procedures that wrap the AWS API
23:43:31FromGitter<Varriount> A "shape" is a structure defined by the API
23:44:12FromGitter<Varriount> I don't get it - NimNodes work, and this isn't that different

23:51:45FromGitter<Varriount> Huh. It works if I create a dedicated construction procedure. :/
