do you think there's something wrong with me?

mcc, 21 days ago

@whitequark I have written Lua professionally so

whitequark, 21 days ago

i also write python like this sometimes

val, 21 days ago

@whitequark why not read the file from JS and pass its content to pyodide.runPython?

whitequark, 21 days ago

@val the file is in the python emscripten filesystem

whitequark, 21 days ago

@val oh i just realized you're right, pyodide.FS would let me do that

val, 21 days ago

@whitequark I didn't realize it was its own filesystem, but glad I could help :D

whitequark, 21 days ago

@val i rewrote it to use pyodide.FS and the error handling gets really gnarly so I'll keep it this way

@whitequark Well, honestly, I think it raises the entry threshold for reading this code. Now if you have all the knowledge necessary to read it, is it actually easier to read it if it's written like this? I imagine no, but I'm not an expert, so idk. I think it may be good in context where it's not expected to change at all however far into the future and it's just easier for you to write like this or you want to show off (nothing wrong with it in and of itself!)

whitequark, 21 days ago

@sanfierro so the reason it's written like this is because I don't want to pollute the global namespace with f which would happen if I ran e.g. with open() as f: normally

same with the import

it, regretfully, serves a purpose

sanfierro, 21 days ago

@whitequark Oh, I see, can't estimate if that purpose makes sense, I assume it very much does, because seems like you know what you do

whitequark, 21 days ago

@sanfierro basically i want to not affect the global environment at all, like if the code was never there

python has some really weird choices about the global scope and i have to use an equally weird workaround for it

sanfierro, 21 days ago

@whitequark Oooh, I see, interesting! Does it work in interpreters other than CPython?

whitequark, 21 days ago

@sanfierro yeah this works in any python implementation

whitequark, 21 days ago

someone suggested i use a library instead of importModuleCriminally and the library is like this

(I think it's slightly better than what I wrote?)

@whitequark I mean I'm bridging AHB to APB over quad SPI. This is far from the most cursed thing I've seen in the past 24 hours.

mntmn, 21 days ago

@whitequark no, it is normal computering

dave_andersen, 21 days ago

@whitequark but it does seem like there's something wrong with vs code.

whitequark, 21 days ago

@dave_andersen they shipped newer node i think, i'm gonna look at updating it

sanfierro, 21 days ago

@whitequark there's something awesome, creative, cute, smart, generous, helping, caring, nice and overall good with you

whitequark, 21 days ago

@sanfierro blush

djsundog, 21 days ago

@whitequark jesus

whitequark, 21 days ago

@djsundog i was very tired and annoyed

it works*

• in the narrow domain it is being applied to

easrng, 21 days ago

@whitequark next time use https://www.npmjs.com/package/js-tokens :3 (or for this specifically, shimport)

whitequark, 21 days ago

@easrng ooooh, shimport is super nice, thank you! I think I can just remove the code though since VS Code has updated their Node

whitequark, 21 days ago

@easrng wow, this is just as bad as what i wrote :D https://github.com/Rich-Harris/shimport/blob/master/src/transform.ts

@whitequark importModuleCriminally 🙃

buherator, 21 days ago

@whitequark that "almost all" looks like a fun challenge for future you :)

whitequark, 21 days ago

@buherator I'm actually looking at it right now and vscode has updated node from 18.15 to... drumroll... 18.18. one short!

whitequark, 21 days ago

@buherator okay, vscode 1.90 will bring electron 29, which will bring node 20, which will solve my problems

whitequark, 21 days ago

@buherator probably. hopefully
