So I can compile isolated test suites essentially. |

| 01:15:04 | FromDiscord | <aintea> I'm making something that heavily relies on tables and nested tables, and having `result["this"]["this2"]["another_one"]["and_another_one"]` is not the prettiest to be honest |
| 01:15:10 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual_experimental.html#special-operators |
| 01:15:17 | FromDiscord | <aintea> that was fast |
| 01:15:21 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> You can implement a `[]` that takes multiple arguments |
| 01:15:39 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> So then it's just `result["this", "this2", "another_one", "and_another_one"]` |
| 01:16:00 | FromDiscord | <aintea> I specifically want it to become `result.this.this2.another_one.and_another_one` |
| 01:16:28 | FromDiscord | <Elegantbeef> Read the link |
| 01:16:33 | FromDiscord | <aintea> I'm doing so |
| 01:19:35 | FromDiscord | <aintea> I find it so interesting nim has a lot to offer but finding what I want is hard |

| 20:22:52 | FromDiscord | <thearthurm> It's called the walrus operator |
| 20:23:00 | FromDiscord | <maxtachine> i see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26000198/what-does-colon-equal-in-python-mean |

| 20:24:58 | FromDiscord | <thearthurm> Wait, can you unpack a dictionary as keyword arguments? |
| 20:25:11 | FromDiscord | <maxtachine> dunno |
| 20:25:14 | FromDiscord | <thearthurm> If not, then I won't even need it |

| 20:40:24 | FromDiscord | <bostonboston> In reply to @maxtachine "im trying to compile": When I need to do this I install a 32bit version of gcc and in my nim.cfg add a @if that changes gcc.path to the 32bit bin |

| 20:47:57 | FromDiscord | <thearthurm> Do we have var args in nim or do I have to pass in a sequence |
