10398 :: Weekly Nim Streams

  I want to livestream Nim programming on weekends, I'm thinking 8PM EST on Saturdays. I've done this once before for the people on the #nimworks channel (the people behind CPS, Nimskull, etc.), and it was pretty fun and productive, at least for me.

  If anyone's interested, let me know and suggest something for me to try out. I'm willing to try out people's libraries and get familiar with new things, which is the reason I did it the first time.

  The streams would be on my Owncast instance which supports fediverse nonsense if you happen to use that. I swear a lot and can be vulgar if anyone cares about that, so fair warning.

  Let me know what you think.

  Also if people would prefer another time, I can also switch it if other times would fit other peoples' schedules. I know there are a lot of Europeans here

  I'm not part of the code-streaming audience generally, but I could suggest playing around with mummy a bit. Essentially write a small website using only websockets and ping pong messages back and forth with mummy as the server.

  Could be pretty interesting to see how to best perform such a setup at length.

  (If you're not familiar with websockets, here a small example that sets up client and server with the server being written with prologue)

  Not a bad idea, I'll give it a go

  Programming an esp32 is always fun too. Though setup is perhaps a bit more finicky.

  I was wanting to try out Ratel, but the issue is that I'd have to set up a camera to show me working with my Arduino

  First stream was a success in my eyes, got about 8 viewers consistently (including @ElegantBeef of course LOL), and wrote a simple chat webapp with Mummy. I'll post the recording somewhere, but for now, the code from the stream is here.

  Did you end up making the recording available anywhere? I think it could be interesting to see someone else get started with Mummy to see what went easily and what required some figuring-out. This could lead to some more good examples, improved docs, improved all sorts of things. It is not common to be able to watch someone use a thing you've made so I figure I should at least ask.
