just inherit it back out :) How's that? | 11:36:39 |
| tazjin | nix-repl> if = 1
nix-repl> { inherit "if"; }."if"
1
| 11:41:58 |
| tazjin | this works with basically any wonky identifiers | 11:42:09 |
| aleksana (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | ...just knew that inherit can be suffixed with a string instead of identifier... | 11:43:41 |

nix-repl> if = 1
nix-repl> { inherit "if"; }."if"
1
I love this language so much | 12:10:59 |
 emily | nix-repl> with { "if" = 123; }; { inherit "if"; }."if"
123
| 12:11:18 |
| emily | we have raw identifier syntax at home | 12:11:21 |

| cafkafk 🏳️⚧️ | speaking of boo, just saw
warning: let { found at «string»:1:1. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Use --extra-deprecated-features ancient-let to silence this warning.
| 12:14:23 |
| cafkafk 🏳️⚧️ | still haven't fully come to terms with this | 12:14:48 |

Why is repl allowing if = 1 (can autocomplete if but can't get the value) but not a = { if = 1; }? I gotta know why, the raw assignment expression can't exist alone in the file, so there's a hack in repl to make it work | 06:45:01 |
| tazjin | aleksana (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC): do you mean "how is this implemented in C++ Nix?" ? | 09:53:29 |
