| 00:00:16 | FromDiscord | <heysokam> In reply to @phobikinesis "hello i just started": consider [confy](https://github.com/heysokam/confy) for this goal. it was made with cross compilation as a main priority |
| 00:00:50 | FromDiscord | <heysokam> if you dont want to use it, then https://github.com/enthus1ast/zigcc is your second best option |
| 00:02:00 | FromDiscord | <heysokam> the manual way of setting up mingw is subpar, plus it only works for windows. with zigcc as the compiler you get full support from all targets to all targets |

| 05:15:10 | FromDiscord | <TӨMΛ ☠> I'm trying to check if the variable was initialised eventually within the program flow, but somewhat I can't think of how to do it |

| 10:25:33 | FromDiscord | <janakali> https://nim-lang.org/docs/strutils.html#cmpIgnoreCase%2Cstring%2Cstring↵for a second question: get a list of files with `walkDir.toseq()`, then try to match them with `cmpIgnoreCase` in text file order.↵That's not very efficient, but should be fine in most cases.

| 14:19:17 | FromDiscord | <leorize> no↵(@heysokam) |
| 14:19:41 | FromDiscord | <leorize> if you dig into the codegen I have no doubt you can create equivalent C |
| 14:20:12 | FromDiscord | <leorize> but a problem here is that the format is not well-specified |
| 14:20:17 | FromDiscord | <leorize> so you risk it being pulled under you in the future |
| 14:20:35 | FromDiscord | <leorize> just use accessors to access them on C side if you need to |
| 14:21:00 | FromDiscord | <sOkam (alt)> wdym by accessors? |
| 14:21:47 | FromDiscord | <leorize> `Triangle get_triangle()` and co. |
| 14:22:09 | FromDiscord | <sOkam (alt)> also to clarify, I'm writing the C myself, just want to keep compatibility in mind |
| 14:23:57 | FromDiscord | <leorize> then just generate whatever that can implement the code you want |
| 14:25:31 | FromDiscord | <sOkam (alt)> yea, but I'm looking at C tagged unions for the first time, after used to nim and zig, and wanted to see if I can design the C side in a nice and compatible way |
| 14:26:25 | FromDiscord | <leorize> I'm not sure what's the goal here |
| 14:31:47 | FromDiscord | <sOkam (alt)> design a C api that I can then easily wrap for nim |
| 14:32:24 | FromDiscord | <sOkam (alt)> where the C side will use tagged unions |
| 14:36:43 | FromDiscord | <leorize> you can represent any tagged union in C in nim |
| 14:37:00 | FromDiscord | <leorize> just don't use the native object variants |
| 14:48:09 | FromDiscord | <sOkam (alt)> kk |
| 14:54:58 | FromDiscord | <aintea> Finally finished the library, I now can go back to make a new side project that I will not finish |
| 15:02:23 | FromDiscord | <hawkey5212> In reply to @leorize "no (<@186489007247589376>)": Coming to nim from rust, the lack of associated data on enum variants is something that I sorely miss. |

| 15:32:15 | FromDiscord | <heysokam> In reply to @aintea "I know it's a": Finishing long work is a recurring problem amongst people, not devs |
| 15:32:33 | FromDiscord | <heysokam> It just so happens that coding takes a ton of time, so its evidently clear here |
| 15:33:01 | FromDiscord | <aintea> also the joke is that I wanted to make a todo list CLI app, and I needed a library that didn't exist so I made one and the library itself is 12x more work that the CLI app |
| 15:33:35 | FromDiscord | <heysokam> If you are working consistently every day, or every week even, you are already doing what 90% don't... so have some patience 🙂 |
