@helle:tacobelllabs.nethelle (just a stray cat girl)we don't want to have to migrate that later on17:38:26
@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriad we would either block it on RPC, or bind it to existing libexpr over C bindings. the refactoring necessary for libexpr to use a bytecode interpreter over C ABI would be like half the battle for the decoupling we need to do anyway 17:40:46
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)FWIW v8 uses the source code hash as the cache key https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/427f7cce6d69a2d6ce113200e8dcc1151765058c/src/snapshot/code-serializer.cc#L820-L83417:41:09
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)So the closest thing would be to hash .nix files -> cached bytecode -> cached optimizer -> .... -> profit?17:42:32
@piegames:flausch.socialpiegamesthat's the goal yes17:44:02
@piegames:flausch.socialpiegamesunclear about profit though17:44:06
@commentator2.0:elia.gardenRutile (rootile)Do we understand the overall parsergoal correctly as "use the fastest parser available, errors be damned and if it fails reparse with a good error handling one performance be damned"?17:44:16
