 raitobezarius | i don't think we have json on the roadmap for the short term but i think it's probably sufficiently easy for the community to build up that capability and own it imho | 15:35:07 |
 Emma [it/its] | can the repl do builds with out-links? | 15:35:44 |
| Emma [it/its] | capnproto is basically off limits for me, which is the annoying part | 15:36:18 |
 K900 | Why? | 15:36:47 |
| Emma [it/its] | the only implementation for it in the lang i use hasnt been updated for 4 years | 15:36:51 |
| Emma [it/its] | since 2021 if you exclude dependabot bumps - and it heavily relies on sourcegen, which, well, doesnt work at runtime :') | 15:37:24 |
| K900 | Well you shouldn't be doing this at runtime | 15:38:56 |
| K900 | But four years of no updates is still not great | 15:39:00 |
| Emma [it/its] | i cant use the source gen tools either because theyre windows only | 15:39:21 |
| Emma [it/its] | These features are not yet implemented:
Level N RPC with N ≥ 2
Packing
Compression
Canonicalization
Dynamic Reflection
mmap
also this in the readme | 15:39:48 |
| raitobezarius | doesn't seem like a problem | 15:41:02 |
| raitobezarius | Lix is not going to use lvl ≥ 3 | 15:41:16 |
| raitobezarius | (unless we do the work to implement it in Rust and C++) | 15:41:27 |
| Emma [it/its] | the other implementation of it... hasnt been updated in 9 years | 15:41:29 |
| Emma [it/its] | yeah but this library cant do lvl=2 either | 15:41:41 |
| Emma [it/its] | its exclusively lvl=1 | 15:41:47 |
| raitobezarius | sorry, Lix won't use lvl ≥ 2 * | 15:41:51 |
| raitobezarius | for now | 15:41:52 |
| Emma [it/its] | also, that's for the implementation linked on capnproto's own website | 15:42:34 |
| Emma [it/its] | https://github.com/c80k/capnproto-dotnetcore | 15:42:47 |
| Emma [it/its] | supports up to .NET Core 3.1 (lol) | 15:43:36 |
| Emma [it/its] | but yeah, runtime-only is something i explicitly need because there practically is no compile time | 15:44:27 |
 WeetHet | Is no announcement on discourse expected? I know that it's not liked a lot here but I use the links section as my nix-related news feed basically | 15:46:39 |
| raitobezarius | you're right, I forgot | 15:47:07 |
| WeetHet | Happens | 15:47:27 |
| raitobezarius | https://discourse.nixos.org/t/announcing-lix-2-95-kakigori/76635 | 15:47:42 |
| raitobezarius | here we go | 15:47:44 |
 @rosssmyth:matrix.org | my favorite feature is the derivation representation on the repl | 15:51:40 |
| @rosssmyth:matrix.org | That has always annoyed me | 15:51:56 |
| raitobezarius | hehe nice | 15:52:02 |
