b810c46a45 feat(users/sterni/nix/utf8): pure nix utf-8 decoder
users.sterni.nix.utf8 implements UTF-8 decoding in pure nix. We
implement the decoding as a simple state machine which is fed one byte
at a time. Decoding whole strings is possible by subsequently calling
step. This is done in decode which uses builtins.foldl' to get around
recursion restrictions and a neat trick using builtins.deepSeq puck
showed me limiting the size of the thunks in a foldl' (which can also
cause a stack overflow).

This makes decoding arbitrarily large UTF-8 files into codepoints using
nix theoretically possible, but it is not really practical: Decoding a
36KB LaTeX file I had lying around takes ~160s on my laptop.

5ae1d3fd7b feat(users/sterni/nix/flow): add switch conditional
switch would probably otherwise be called match, but has been renamed so
it isn't confused with string.match and the enum matching capabilities
yants has.

It implements the closest to pattern matching nix can come which is
still flexible enough to not be painful: Syntactically it works like
cond, but is given a value. Instead of booleans it checks passed
predicates or equality if simple values are passed. Both types of checks
can be mixed.

7af0fb1066 refactor(users/sterni/nix/string): don't calculate length for drop
Since nix ends the substring at the end of the string anyways we can
just statically use the largest nix integer as the length of the string.
According to my testing this it ever so slightly faster as well.

ed3fce2b19 feat(tazjin/rlox): Implement expression statements
These aren't particularly useful without side effects, but one step at
a time.

This diverges slightly from the book, in that OpPop retains the last
value it "forgot" from the stack in a special field on the
interpreter.

This makes it possible to return values from expression statements,
which helps in cases where Lox is embedded as a scripting
language (please don't do this ever) or in tests.

432e7a7ddd feat(tazjin/rlox): Intern all string constants
This is again a step closer to the book, but there are some notable
differences:

* Only constants encountered by the compiler are interned, all other
  string operations (well, concatenation) happen with heap objects.

* OpReturn will always ensure that a returned string value is newly
  heap allocated and does not reference the interner.

ef7a0da8cb feat(tazjin/rlox): Add a simple string interner
This is based on this matklad post:

https://matklad.github.io/2020/03/22/fast-simple-rust-interner.html

It's modified slightly to provide a safer interface and slightly more
readable implementation:

* interned string IDs are wrapped in a newtype that is not publicly
  constructible

* unsafe block is reduced to only the small scope in which it is
  needed

* lookup lifetime is pinned explicitly to make the intent clearer when
  reading this code

6f600c8300 feat(tazjin/rlox): Add initial support for strings
... including concatenation.

This diverges significantly from the book, as I'm using std::String
instead of implementing the book's whole heap object management
system.

It's possible that Lox in Rust actually doesn't need a GC and the
ownership model works just fine.

3b33c1bd76 feat(users/sterni/nix): add sternis nix lib
What you see here is mostly the fallout of me implementing a correct
urlencode implementation in nix for Profpatsch's blog implementation
(although they'll probably keep it at arm's length).

Where I want to go from here:

* Extend this library towards general purpose nix™, mainly by
  implementing missing interfaces which you'd still have to use
  <nixpkgs/lib> for right now. Reexposing parts of <nixpkgs/lib>
  with better naming is fine for now, at some point I'd contemplate
  making this depend on nothing outside of depot, maybe even itself
  (should be easy we only use yants for an easily replaceable check).

* Improve error messages possibly by carefully reintroducing yants. I
  originally typed essentially everything using yants, but turns out
  this can a) be dangerous when stuff you are handling throws because
  type checking means evaluating and b) has a incredible performance
  cost in some cases.

* Reexpose builtins with better naming and slightly wrapped so they
  don't unrecoverably throw in cases where a null or something would
  suffice.

bef01b1419 feat(tazjin/emacs): Add #'rg-in-project
Uses project.el to anchor the ripgrep search. In combination with my
project detection logic, this means that grepping in TVL subprojects
works automatically.

83e81def23 feat(nix/readTree): give better error message when not a function
When a file is added to the depot tree that is picked up by read-tree,
but it’s not a function like ({...}: {}), `readTree` will fail on the
function application, leading to a bad error message.

We can do slightly better, by checking the type and throwing a nicer
trace message.

`assertMsg` is copied from `nixpkgs/lib/assert.nix`, since at this
point we don’t have a reference to the lib.

There is another evaluation failure that can happen, which is when the
function we try to call does not have dots; however, nix does not
provide any inflection capabilies for checking whether a function
attrset is open (`builtins.functionArgs` only tells us the attrs it
mentions explicitly). Maybe the locality of the error could be
improved somehow.

690994a28c fix(nix/yants): make (typedef …).checkType return a result set
Previously, for types defined using typedef (like all primitive types)
type.checkType would return a boolean. This is largely fine since in
most places `type.checkToBool (type.checkType x)` or similar is used.
However, some functions actually take type.checkType up on the promise
that it returns a set of the form:

  {
    ok = <bool>;
    err = <option string>;
  }

This is the case for restrict which has checkToBool = v: v.ok; and will
generate a proper set except if `t.checkToBool (t.checkType v) == false`
in which case it will return t.checkType v. If t was a primitive type or
defined using typedef, previously `t.checkType v` would be a boolean
which meant as soon as (restrict …).checkToBool was called on a restrict
checkType result in cases where the wrapped type didn't match, an
unrelated error would be thrown:

  nix-repl> with nix.yants; restrict "foo" (_: true) int "lol"
  error: value is a boolean while a set was expected, at /home/lukas/src/depot/nix/yants/default.nix:38:39

This is fixed by making typedef return a proper set from checkType and
adjusting its checkToBool accordingly.

Unfortunately I don't think we can easily add test cases for this except
by using recursive nix or VM tests as there is no way to introspect
error messages.
