 GGG | I see | 02:21:35 |
 6pak | https://nix.dev/guides/best-practices.html#recursive-attribute-set-rec | 02:21:41 |
| GGG | I myself prefer `rec` over that, but it's personal preference | 02:21:53 |
| 6pak | yeah and I think I would too in a typed language | 02:22:20 |
| 6pak | but in nix it's way too easy to make a mistake with it | 02:22:36 |
| 6pak | and only catch it after 10 minutes of eval+build | 02:22:48 |
| GGG | Fair enough | 02:22:57 |
| GGG | You can just ignore it then | 02:23:01 |
| GGG | I assumed that self would work the same way as the finalAttrs but guess not | 02:23:16 |
| 6pak | the whole concept of recursive reference is weird at first | 02:24:10 |
| 6pak | be it rec keyword or referencing yet to be created variable | 02:24:24 |
| 6pak | but wait, actually it might | 02:25:45 |
| 6pak | maybe you are supposed to put buildDotnetModule before self at the end there | 02:26:00 |
| 6pak | uhhh | 02:26:01 |
| GGG | Not that confusing when you manage to change your mindset | 02:26:52 |
| GGG | Nix is a truly lazily evaluated language | 02:27:00 |
| 6pak | nvm it's fine as is | 02:29:45 |
| 6pak | because override returns a new attr set | 02:29:53 |
| 6pak | * because overrideAttrs returns a new attr set | 02:30:05 |
| 6pak | but I guess it is different from rec in a way because the stuff gets processed by buildDotnetModule | 02:31:57 |
| 6pak | so perf wise rec might be better I guess | 02:32:25 |
| GGG | I don't know if it actually makes any difference honestly | 02:33:34 |
| 6pak | eval speed is unbearably slow no matter what -_- | 02:33:54 |
| GGG | I was just afraid it was being redundant, but if it isn't then there's no point, you can ignore it | 02:33:55 |
| GGG | In reply to @6pak:matrix.org
eval speed is unbearably slow no matter what -_- Yeah, unfortunately eval is something that's really awfully slow in nix | 02:34:11 |
| GGG | I dread every time I have to rebuild my config, it takes literal minutes | 02:34:30 |
| 6pak | yeah | 02:35:03 |
 Emma [it/its] | same here, wish it wasnt that way | 02:42:39 |
| GGG | Here's hoping the multithreaded eval PR goes faster | 02:50:09 |
| GGG | @corngood:corngood.com guess we'll need to re-run the update scripts for all versions even if they're the same: https://github.com/dotnet/announcements/issues/336 | 02:50:44 |
