 David Arnold | In reply to @kity:kity.wtf
i don't know or care what input or output contracts are :/ only output contracts | 03:25:30 |
| David Arnold | like typed outputs | 03:25:34 |
 ash | In reply to @blaggacao:matrix.org
thats indeed very intricate policits of playing consensus so they snuck in because eelco is the founder and primary maintainer of nix, and now we have to bikeshed all over to get them out? | 03:26:01 |
| ash | it's embarrassing, honestly | 03:26:12 |
| David Arnold | The real problem is that there are not more elcos. | 03:26:31 |
| David Arnold | And I don't thnk there is any glass ceiling involved. | 03:26:40 |
| David Arnold | It might be a concotion of C++ code base and [I don't know]... | 03:27:11 |
| David Arnold | A good think would be to split out the language interpretaer from the CLI | 03:27:38 |
| David Arnold | (for exmaple) | 03:27:42 |
| David Arnold | * A good think would be to split out the language interpreter from the CLI | 03:27:49 |
| David Arnold | make the holthing a little more pluggable | 03:27:55 |
| David Arnold | * make the whole thing a little more pluggable | 03:28:06 |
| ash | yes, sure, that's a great idea | 03:28:08 |
| David Arnold | ipmlement the language interpreter in rust? | 03:28:25 |
| David Arnold | or haskell? | 03:28:28 |
| ash | everyone's full of ideas | 03:28:29 |
| David Arnold | to get a few more eyes on deck | 03:28:33 |
| ash | there's already a language interpreter in haskell and there was supposed to be one in rust | 03:28:53 |
| David Arnold | It's just something we could do right now | 03:28:56 |
| David Arnold | And gather consensus, probably | 03:29:12 |
| ash | i'm not a programmer i'm just an asshole who gets upset about people asking for help with more deeply integrating unstable unsupported features into their lives | 03:29:48 |
| ash | well i am a programmer but whatever | 03:29:57 |
| ash | mostly an asshole | 03:30:03 |
| David Arnold | If this was written in go, I had already started... 😆 | 03:30:11 |
| David Arnold | but I'm really not comfortable with C++ sadly | 03:30:24 |
| David Arnold | Let's do this: propose to split out the language interpretar, there certainly is some talking involved, but it would get you what you want, wouldn't it? (all hypothetically) | 03:31:26 |

| ash | maybe we should just open an issue on the nix repo saying "get rid of flakes, try again later" and try to get support for it that way, heh. but no, probably everyone is too deeply in bed with flakes to support that | 03:31:56 |
| David Arnold | How much work would that actually be in moths? | 03:32:00 |
| ash | i dunno, i'm no good at that stuff | 03:32:33 |
