 manveru | % doesn't get escaped either... | 09:12:50 |
| manveru | fun stuff :) | 09:12:56 |
| manveru | hmm | 09:19:16 |
| manveru | i think https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src/nix/develop.cc#L60 might be wrong | 09:19:33 |
| manveru | the double quote should be inside the second match, not the first... | 09:20:09 |
| manveru | let's give that a try | 09:20:15 |
| manveru | well, that was a wrong assumption, but i have a fix anyway :) | 09:59:08 |

help wanted | 06:22:56 |
 pamplemousse | I very recently came accross https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3160, and it seems that it would critically simplify my struggle to build fuzz targets (binaries - and their required libs - with different instrumentation)!
(As briefly mentioned here: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/tweag-fellowship-fuzzing-nix-1/13904#integration-with-the-existing-build-process-11 , I am trying to do this using the make mechanics already present, and no solution I have so far are both working and self-sufficient - does not require to run a script to work - let alone being elegant...)
Does it still have some support, interest? | 22:15:01 |

 Las | Is Nickel in the future going to replace Nix somehow? I was wondering about using Rust in Nix, but remembered that Nickel is written in Rust, but Nickel doesn't seem to be compatible with Nix syntax. | 15:03:35 |

Is Nickel in the future going to replace Nix somehow? I was wondering about using Rust in Nix, but remembered that Nickel is written in Rust, but Nickel doesn't seem to be compatible with Nix syntax. Seems like it.
Nickel is an evolution of the Nix language, while trying to overcome some of its limitations.
https://github.com/tweag/nickel#use-cases
Dunno when (or even how) the transition will happen though ^^
| 16:21:28 |
| Las | That's what I'm wondering because it's incompatible with Nix synax | 16:21:51 |

 balsoft | I hope not :/ | 16:21:53 |
| Las | Why? | 16:21:58 |
| balsoft | It's not compatible with Nix, so instead of a switch it would be like a total rewrite of everything. | 16:22:52 |
| Las | How so? | 16:23:06 |
| Las | Other than the surface syntax differences? | 16:23:16 |
| balsoft | "The surface syntax differences" mean that you have to rewrite all of nixpkgs. | 16:23:32 |

It's not compatible with Nix, so instead of a switch it would be like a total rewrite of everything. Not necessarily, there could be tools developped to transpile from Nix to Nickel. | 16:23:37 |
| balsoft | In reply to @pamplemouss_:matrix.org
Not necessarily, there could be tools developped to transpile from Nix to Nickel. In that case we shall be stuck in a limbo with the disadvantages of both languages until we finish the idiomatic rewrite (which will likely never happen) | 16:24:10 |
