v0.20.1 issue

[odtaa48]

Hello, thanks for the updated binary for linux, however, it appears that there is something different in the REPL that happened between 19.3 and the current version using min -i

The prompt only appears AFTER enter is pressed, and what is typed is invisible and so are the features like command completion. The input seems to be interpreted correctly, however.

I don't think the shell is an issue, as I get the same results on tilix and my chromebook virtual linux shell which I think is dash.

$ min -i
[/home/odtaa/Downloads]$
[/home/odtaa/Downloads]$ version
"0.20.1"
[/home/odtaa/Downloads]$ cpu
"amd64"
[/home/odtaa/Downloads]$ os
"linux"

min -j has other issues where it seems to stack the prompt again and again;
it also seems to have the following error after ctrl-D:
io.nim(141) raiseEOF
Error: unhandled exception: EOF reached [EOFError]

Best regards, Dex

Hi!

You are right, there seems to still be problems with the cross-compiled binary. I think at this point I'll just compile it on my actual Linux machine instead: I don't have any issue if I natively try to compile on linux.

Hi, thanks for getting back. I don't recall all the issues, but I found the native compilation (installation also) tricky so gave up. I think you have the best concatenative product here. I found factor too arduous. Cheers -- Securely sent with Tutanota. Get your own encrypted, ad-free mailbox: https://tutanota.com Sep 29, 2020, 03:41 by notifications@github.com:

Thanks! 😄

Well, there are a few dependencies that are needed to build min, and you need to have nifty installed to fetch them... also compiling/installing via nimble may not work.

I am working on a small update to fix a few bits, I'll release native binaries this time if I get a chance.

About Factor... well, Factor docs are very good, but it is indeed quite complex. I wanted to keep min small while at the same time provide a decent feature set. Concatenative programming is complex anyway, no matter how you look at it, but it's also quite stimulating at times!

This should be fixed in v0.21.0... now providing non cross-compiled binaries for windows and linux as well.

I figured out what was happening. It turns out that in the musl library, stdout.write doesn't automatically flush the stdout buffer... so characters were only appearing when a new line was entered.

I modified some nimline code and now it works as expected.
