What are you working on this week? (Mar. 31, 2024)

I'm on vacation. No working. Well, actually I was doing a ton of Selfhosting stuff (migrating my homeserver to proxmox, now at a usable level), but also video games.

The wordle-analyzer will have to wait until next week, and until I can fix my lifetime compiler errors in the latest commit, and before that: Until I fix my forgejo server that refuses to start after updating the server kernel.

This week some more work was done on inheriteRS to support inheriting non-trait implementations of functions.

Basically

 rust

    
use inheriters::specialisations;

specialisations!(
    struct Parent {
        attr1: u8,
    }
    impl Parent {
        fn from_parent(self) -> u8 { 8 }
        fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr1 }
    }
    
    #[inherit(Child)]
    struct Child {
        attr2: u8,
    }
    impl Child {
        fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr2 }
    }
);

  

results in

 rust

    
struct Parent {
    attr1: u8,
}
impl Parent {
    fn from_parent(self) -> u8 { 8 }
    fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr1 }
}


struct Child {
    attr1: u8, // new
    attr2: u8,
}
impl Child {
    fn from_parent(self) -> u8 { 8 } // new
    fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr2 }
}

  

There might be some clean-up necessary code-wise and the README has to be expanded. But the project is well on its way to version 1! It's a pity codeberg doesn't have easy CI/CD yet nor domain hosting e.g inheriters.codeberg.io or something. So auto-formatting, testing, auto-tagging, etc. will have to come once I can convince myself to setup a VPS somewhere that hosts all that.

Unfortunately, not much this week. Maybe I'll get time to hack on my p2p app next week.

I did find simplex chat recently, so I'll be relearning Haskell to play around with it. If anyone knows of a decent Rust library for it, I'll play with that too. I think I could use it for my p2p app for a few things, which could be cool.

Working on making dev of tkinter and pythong* a breeze for any newcomer that's willing to learn a bit different from the mainstream tutorials, videos, docs and mass methods of learning. This guy's ways are more fun than any of those YT videos of piecemeal-coding. If you find that kind of learning extremely boring hmu fam...
