 Mic92 | In reply to @marcusramberg:matrix.org
Should the perl bindings also be changed to use the C bindings? 🤔 * Potentially. I think the perl api was already an ok abstraction on top of Nix c++ api. So maybe it could be used as a starting point? | 09:30:14 |
| Mic92 | The API I was using in harmonia was inspired by the perl api. | 09:30:39 |

| infinisil | It would be great to have a https://wiki.nixos.org/ page to keep an ongoing summary of what's happening relating to bindings :D | 19:51:35 |

| Mic92 | Or even just a Nix issue or is this to messy? | 05:55:37 |

 fricklerhandwerk | Tracking issue sounds resonable | 08:46:38 |

| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Path values are represented by absolute paths, so I think that's what's expected by that function | 16:58:39 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Not a great name, and insufficient docs though | 16:58:51 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | I think it needs to be improved: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10613 | 17:02:05 |

| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Does anyone know a reason to use void * instead of opaque pointers like Value * (after struct Value;)?
I think we want to just change it: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10561 | 16:47:55 |
