11:37 <novakane[m]> why nobody told me before that zig was so cool to read/write

11:38 <novakane[m]> I'm glad river made me discover it

11:39 <leon-p> that has been my exact experience as well :D

11:43 <novakane[m]> haha yeah I'm really enjoy it, I feel like you get the basics really quickly, everythin make sense when you read it

11:43 <ifreund> yup, river is my first Zig project too :D

11:44 <novakane[m]> really ? that a big project for a first one

11:45 <ifreund> I mean, yeah but Zig was fast enough for me to learn that it was fine

11:45 <ifreund> coming to Zig from C is easy

11:46 <ifreund> definitely wasn't writing as idiomatic zig for the first month though

11:46 <ifreund> most of that code should be refactored away by now though

11:47 <novakane[m]> yeah sure I'm coming from C too, even if I'm not a big expert it really help

11:48 <novakane[m]> I'm just glad you didn't chose rust haha

11:50 <ifreund> Yeah, I wrote a wayland screenlocker thing in Rust as my first wayland project. Doing that and reading the wlroot-rs blog post convinced me that C was a far better choice than rust for a compositor.

11:50 <ifreund> decided to give Zig a chance though cause it looked nice and ended up sticking with it obviously

11:54 <novakane[m]> I understand, I love a lot of rust project, mostly cli program but I really don't like using it

17:20 <snakedye> After countless days of pure pain and struggle I managed to make something that looks like a wayland client. Is there a branch of river where I can test the layout generator?

17:31 <leon-p> snakedye: river-layout-unstable-v1 is the name of the branch introducing the protocol of the same name

17:47 <snakedye> leon-p I cloned the repository, switched to the river-layout-unstable-v1 branch, ran git pull, compiled it, checked the globals and zriver_layout_manager_v1 isn't one of them

17:48 <snakedye> https://gofile.io/d/TC0pbv

17:54 <ifreund> you must've missed something along the way because it works fine for me...

17:54 <ifreund> in fact I've been daily driving that branch for weeks

17:59 <ifreund> snakedye: make sure you're using leon-p's branch from the PR not the (probably stale) one on my repo

18:02 <snakedye> Leon's branch doesn't compile

18:02 <ifreund> make sure you sync up the submodules...

18:03 <snakedye> i did it

18:03 <snakedye> i think this issue was referenced here https://github.com/ifreund/river/issues/232

18:04 <ifreund> yeah you need the workaround listede there

18:04 <ifreund> and master won't compile either

18:22 <snakedye> yep doesn't work

18:22 <snakedye> ig i'll try another day

18:25 <ifreund> the workaround definitely does work

18:40 <novakane[m]> yep this branch compile for me with the workaround

20:24 <snakedye> it worked with the workaround
