 maralorn | I guess we could make it configurable at some point. 😄 | 13:13:12 |
 Emma [it/its] | fwiw, the pacman default is just #'s without colors :P you enable the pacman animation by adding ILoveCandy to the pacman config | 13:30:22 |
| maralorn | Ah, I see. | 13:33:03 |
| Emma [it/its] | not that it isnt a common configuration for obvious reasons :P | 13:33:40 |
| maralorn | Okay, my plan was anyway to have three levels for nom: ascii-only, only-unicode, full-emoji | 13:34:28 |
| maralorn | And we can add a fourth level whimsy-overload | 13:34:48 |

saygo.2: And in regards to "try"-ing I’d be more than happy to help/mentor. Should nom-build stay a pure wrapper? I envision that nom will support more flags once optparse is used. Should we use something like nom build <nom-args> -- <nix args> or stay with the current pure ? | 15:22:04 |

| saygo.2 | Right now there also is inconsistency in --version. `nom-build --version` lists the nix and nom version, but `nom build --version` does not. | 15:24:31 |

`nom build (nom args) -- (nix args)` or stay with the current pure `(nix args)`? | 15:28:58 |
| maralorn | I guess that sounds like a bug we should fix. | 15:29:06 |
| maralorn | I haven’t made up my mind about this. There are different thinks to consider, e.g. how to not break tab completion. | 15:29:07 |
| maralorn | But I think I would like it to stay a drop in replacement, but maybe we can just "inject" nom specific options with a common prefix. | 15:29:08 |
| maralorn | e.g. --nom-show-tree | 15:29:08 |
| maralorn | Or --nom-show-outputs | 15:29:35 |

I haven’t made up my mind about this. There are different thinks to consider, e.g. how to not break tab completion. Ill see how optparse applicative handles this. There is some support for wrapper programs like nom for example here https://hackage-content.haskell.org/package/optparse-applicative-0.19.0.0/docs/Options-Applicative.html#v:forwardOptions and completions should be customizable enough to make -- work well too | 15:38:22 |
| maralorn | Cool! | 15:38:55 |
| maralorn | This is relatively greenfield so if you find arguments to do stuff differently please tell me so that we can discuss. | 15:39:35 |
| saygo.2 | i've just moved and dont have internet yet except mobile data so work is slow on this lol | 15:39:34 |
| maralorn | 😄 | 15:40:42 |
| saygo.2 | You are having fun with this codebase, that required type arguments extension just came out! | 19:45:37 |
| maralorn | Totally. nom is my playground. 😄 | 19:54:35 |
