builtins.genericClosure is a quite powerful (and undocumented) Nix
primop: It repeatedly applies a function to values it produces and
collects them into a list. Additionally individual results can be
identified via a key attribute.
Since genericClosure only ever creates a single list value internally,
we can eliminate a huge performance bottleneck when building a list in a
recursive algorithm: list concatenation. Because Nix needs to copy the
entire chunk of memory used internally to represent the list, building
big lists one element at a time grinds Nix to a halt.
After rewriting decode using genericClosure decoding the LaTeX source
of my 20 page term paper now takes 2s instead of 14min.

This is mostly to yet another silly idea which turns out to be
possible. This may be actually useful should I implement more
sophisticated format specifiers like "%xd" or "%f".

This lets us benefit from the recent OpenSSL security-related
update [1]. Since nixos-unstable is still stuck, we temporarily
use nixos-unstable-small as our unstable channel.
Fixes necessary:
* //users/sterni/nix/char:
Someone has decided to drop writers.writeC upstream [2],
so we reimplement it ad-hoc using runCommandCC

Couldn't sleep, so I made a surprisingly neat way to render HTML
documents in Nix using our favorite feature __findFile:
let
inherit (depot.users.sterni.nix.html) __findFile esc;
in
<html> {} [
(<head> {} [
(<meta> { charset = "utf-8"; } null)
(<title> {} (esc "hello"))
])
(<body> {} [
(<h1> {} (esc "hello world"))
])
]
=> "<html><head><meta charset=\"utf-8\"/><title>hello</title></head><body><h1>hello world</h1></body></html>"

I think it’s solid enough to use in a wider context.

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).

This should ease migrating to a distinction between depot.third_party
and pkgs (as in nixpkgs) in the future.

We use builtins.split directly as it should be a bit more efficient as
lib.splitStrings. Also its returning of a list for every regex match is
useful to update the state while parsing the tokens:
* The tokens are obtained by splitting the string at every '%'
* Everytime we see a boundary (that is a list in the returned
list of builtins.split), we know that the first two chars of
the next string are a percent encoded character.
One implementation flaw is that it will currently crash if it encounters
mal-formed URLs (since int.fromHex chrashes if it encounters any non
hex digit characters) and accepts some malformed urlencoding like
"foo %A".

users.sterni.nix.utf8 implements UTF-8 decoding in pure nix. We
implement the decoding as a simple state machine which is fed one byte
at a time. Decoding whole strings is possible by subsequently calling
step. This is done in decode which uses builtins.foldl' to get around
recursion restrictions and a neat trick using builtins.deepSeq puck
showed me limiting the size of the thunks in a foldl' (which can also
cause a stack overflow).
This makes decoding arbitrarily large UTF-8 files into codepoints using
nix theoretically possible, but it is not really practical: Decoding a
36KB LaTeX file I had lying around takes ~160s on my laptop.

switch would probably otherwise be called match, but has been renamed so
it isn't confused with string.match and the enum matching capabilities
yants has.
It implements the closest to pattern matching nix can come which is
still flexible enough to not be painful: Syntactically it works like
cond, but is given a value. Instead of booleans it checks passed
predicates or equality if simple values are passed. Both types of checks
can be mixed.

Since nix ends the substring at the end of the string anyways we can
just statically use the largest nix integer as the length of the string.
According to my testing this it ever so slightly faster as well.

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.
