if Ruby and React had an indentation based lovechild, what would it look like? Imba is a new programming language for the web that compiles to performant and readable JavaScript.

We could run it on chat.imba.io, https://mattermost.com/

I think discord is the best alternative to gitter actually. Slack done right :j

Maybe discord is better.

Has anyone else experienced this? I am trying to port an old OpenGL example

Oh, this is a compiler infernals error. Startes to improve these error messages yesterday

I might be able to take a look around lunch

Alexander Alemayhu

@scanf

The weird thing is that it compiles fine locally with the latest Imba.

Alexander Alemayhu

@scanf

Actually it's just imbac that works, seeing the same error with the rollup hello world template.

Sindre Aarsaether

@somebee

May be because rollup uses older version of imba?

You could try updating to the latest v on scrimba

Alexander Alemayhu

@scanf

Hmm, I will look at it again later.

I will get a windows machine later today, so hopefully going to experience new issues there :D

Alexander Alemayhu

@scanf

What should the Imba v2 slogan be?

imba/imba.io#101

@scanf I figured out svg's http://chico.tirado.app

Can I bind an input value to a parent's prop with
<input[#context.search]>?

Sindre Aarsaether

@somebee

Nope - I dont think so, but you can send it in using a special bind syntax.

Will whip up an example

Sindre Aarsaether

@somebee

@iamtirado you can bind props using this syntax: https://scrimba.com/c/c4Pa8ysL

Might change though

but this allows us to use the form bindings in wrapped components etc

Eric Vida

@ericvida

that's perfect.

Can anyone help me convert this fuzzy search function to imba syntax? I'm getting too many errors. Maybe someone can help me do it well. I'm not sure how to get around the outer part.

'use strict';

function fuzzysearch (needle, haystack) {
  var tlen = haystack.length;
  var qlen = needle.length;
  if (qlen > tlen) {
    return false;
  }
  if (qlen === tlen) {
    return needle === haystack;
  }
  outer: for (var i = 0, j = 0; i < qlen; i++) {
    var nch = needle.charCodeAt(i);
    while (j < tlen) {
      if (haystack.charCodeAt(j++) === nch) {
        continue outer;
      }
    }
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}

module.exports = fuzzysearch;

```

Here's my attempt: https://scrimba.com/c/cD7QnBuv

@somebee

We dont support labeled loops ATM - but it could be implemented with a slightly different approach. Will post when at my computer

Sindre Aarsaether

@somebee

@iamtirado See https://scrimba.com/c/cWKeRmt6

Not sure if it works - i found quite a few errors :) But you can at least check it out

Not sure if we will support labeled loops and continue/break (label name). Much more powerful to be able to continue and break with values (see bottom examples here https://www.imba.io/guides/language/loops#loops)

Eric Vida

@ericvida

Thanks for the example. I had never seen that the labels being used in Imba. I thought that might be it.

But i didn't know how to work around it.

Great examples in the docs too. i need to understand those better.

useful stuff

Eric Vida

@ericvida

What's the proper way to export and import a module? I can't get it to work.
Shouldn't I be able to do

---- fuzzySearch.imba
export fuzzySearch needle, haystack
        ...
---- app-root.imba
import fuzzySearch from './fuzzySearch.imba'
console.log fuzzySearch("one", "two")

using the imba2-hello-world example

Sindre Aarsaether

@somebee

Expert def fuzzy...

And import {fuzzy...}

See import/export on MDN. The syntax is basically the same

Cassiano Surdi Franco

@CassianoSF

Have you seen this? https://externos.io/

I think this could be a good showcase for imba, going to try it this weekend.

Eric Vida

@ericvida

thanks @somebee. I had a misspelling in import.

and missing curly braces

Fedor Leschinsky

@altteo

@somebee watch from 5:30 https://youtu.be/c0oy0vQKEZE about private class properties. There are interesting things also after that.

Also just found out that a month ago Microsoft Edge (previosly known as IE) fully switched to chrome stack (blink + v8) and now they work the same. Minus one compatibility headache.

Hi, is there a way to see the compiled output on Scrimba like in the Svelte repl? If not can fill an issue somewhere - https://github.com/scrimba/community/issues?

‘cmd+j’ is a secret shortcut for compiling the imba code and adding the compiled output as a comment below

André Kaufmann

@akaufmann

Ah, nice :smiley: Thanks Sindre!

GitBook looks mostly fine but two things do suck. i) No syntax highlighting ii) Forgetting to hit the save button when editing.
