2022-02-15 r/3834 feat(sterni/nix/fun): implement tail call “optimization” for Nixsterni2-0/+251
I've had the notion that builtins.genericClosure can be used to express any recursive algorithm, but a proof is much better than a notion of course! In this case we can easily show this by implementing a function that converts a tail recursive function into an application of builtins.genericClosure. This is possible if the function resolves its self reference using a fixed point which allows us to pass a function that encodes the call to self in a returned attribute set, leaving the actual call to genericClosure's operator. Additionally, some tools for collecting meta data about functions (argCount) and calling arbitrary functions (apply, unapply) are necessary.

2022-01-31 r/3723 style: format entire depot with nixpkgs-fmtVincent Ambo1-3/+3
This CL can be used to compare the style of nixpkgs-fmt against other formatters (nixpkgs, alejandra).

2021-04-12 r/2495 feat(sterni/nix/fun): add hasEllipsissterni2-0/+43
As a complementation to builtins.functionArgs this function checks if the function has a set pattern that contains an ellipsis (i. e. `{ [arg, [ arg1, [ … ]]] ... }:`). The implementation of this is pretty cursed however since there is no clean way to do this in vanilla nix: We need to match on the output of builtins.toXML which does try to serialize functions by outputting their argument and information about it (whether it is a normal argument or a attribute set pattern, in the latter case it also serialize every component of the pattern).

2021-03-01 r/2257 feat(users/sterni/nix): add sternis nix libsterni1-0/+45
What you see here is mostly the fallout of me implementing a correct urlencode implementation in nix for Profpatsch's blog implementation (although they'll probably keep it at arm's length). Where I want to go from here: * Extend this library towards general purpose nix™, mainly by implementing missing interfaces which you'd still have to use <nixpkgs/lib> for right now. Reexposing parts of <nixpkgs/lib> with better naming is fine for now, at some point I'd contemplate making this depend on nothing outside of depot, maybe even itself (should be easy we only use yants for an easily replaceable check). * Improve error messages possibly by carefully reintroducing yants. I originally typed essentially everything using yants, but turns out this can a) be dangerous when stuff you are handling throws because type checking means evaluating and b) has a incredible performance cost in some cases. * Reexpose builtins with better naming and slightly wrapped so they don't unrecoverably throw in cases where a null or something would suffice.
