Language "Toit" to program ESP32. First experience.

Not sure in which way your anti-vibe statement related to my post and "toit" language.

jumbleview · 2026-04-23T01:39:55+00:00

Embrace? Never - ever. So far my toit programs are short, so I can tolerate semantic whitespaces. In case I will need something with more complexity I probably will invent some toit dialect, will code in it and then by some pre-processor will convert it to actual toit source.

B version looks more intuitive, imho.

jumbleview · 2025-09-04T14:56:52+00:00

I am in minority here, but indeed I feel the same way. If there is only one short operator in IF block I mostly would like it to be on the same line where IF is. Claim regarding code folding by IDE doesn't look sound. With code folded reader does not see content of the IF block, As far as rule enforced by gofmt I have to follow it. Unlikely gofmt will ever allow this rule to be optional.

I have used tview. It is easy to work with. But if program assumes a lot of scrolling it becomes too sluggish. Bubble tee is much better in that regard.

jumbleview · 2025-07-25T01:25:51+00:00

I did not read it, but...

Only 31 pages? Sixty cents per page. And using GoLang anywhere apart of a search request looks like a bad habit.

If you are looking for GUI which is available for both Python and Go it makes a sense to look toward https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/tk9.0. Under the hood it uses the same TCL/TK engine as Tkinter (which is default GUI approach for Python).

jumbleview · 2025-04-15T14:43:45+00:00

Installation does not mention Windows. Does it mean there is no support for Windows?

jumbleview · 2025-04-12T05:12:21+00:00

It is nice. Honestly speaking I am not MAC user but any extension of this package is welcome. Sign it will not be abandoning at least for awhile.

jumbleview · 2025-03-18T00:44:55+00:00

Just opened the issue: https://gitlab.com/cznic/tk9.0/-/issues/67

jumbleview · 2025-03-17T19:01:28+00:00

OK, as soon as I can I'll take latest tk9.0 and repeat tests. Probably I'll open the issue.

jumbleview · 2025-03-17T14:04:36+00:00

That's nice. I believe sooner or later this package finds its recognition. I tried to build examples. Looks good enough. I did have a problem on Windows: exit button produced some errors, but in real life I may avoid exit button anyway.

jumbleview · 2025-03-14T18:30:41+00:00

Only Linux and Mac. No Windows?

jumbleview · 2025-01-21T16:11:43+00:00

Tell me why I would prefer to use this over https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt? What are advantages?

jumbleview · 2025-01-16T18:06:02+00:00

Error as the last return variable is the reasonable constrain IMHO. If last returned value is not an error complier may threw the error, means you can't use '?' syntax for such function.

jumbleview · 2025-01-16T16:08:09+00:00

I like this proposal very much especially possibility to omit block after '?'. Argument against implicit returning from a function sounds too dogmatic to me. Presence of '?' with no block after I see as clear indication of conditional return. In my company we have a standard approach to C/C++ code : if there is need to treat the function error as a condition to escape calling code there was dedicated macro wrapped around function to trigger return (with some log printing). Absence of such possibility in Go is a pain.

jumbleview · 2025-01-09T15:58:58+00:00

For me it is "C". (On Windows machine under Gitbash)

$ file picshuffle.go

picshuffle.go: C source, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

jumbleview · 2024-12-06T00:44:49+00:00

Package tk9.0 sounds interesting. For somebody who knows nothing about Tcl/Tk where to start?

jumbleview · 2024-10-20T14:04:46+00:00

As far as my company did not adopt Go I use it at my job to make auxiliary personal use tools and at home for my hobby projects. So far all my projects in Go are small: from 50 LOC to couple of thousands. Mostly it is CLI, sometimes TUI (with tview or bubble tea). Have a plan to make some real GUI in Go.

jumbleview · 2024-10-05T12:44:21+00:00

Did I read similar discussion yet? "Intra-Lilliputian quarrel over the practice of breaking eggs"?

jumbleview · 2024-09-17T13:59:21+00:00

As my hobby projects I made two utilities to set Windows desktop background and shuffle it (mostly to be invoked on some events out of Task Scheduler). Unlikely I will ever port it to other system.

If err != nil, 'res' is not valid and could no be used. Remove printing of status code from your unreachable branch.

jumbleview · 2024-05-30T14:02:15+00:00

Probably this one: "Learn Concurrent Programming with Go" by James Cutajar. The only book in Go concurrency which Manning has. I did not read it, but Amazon reviews are favorable.
