9ed439bfbd feat(users/sterni/nix): cursed nix html DSL
Couldn't sleep, so I made a surprisingly neat way to render HTML
documents in Nix using our favorite feature __findFile:

  let
    inherit (depot.users.sterni.nix.html) __findFile esc;

  in

  <html> {} [
    (<head> {} [
      (<meta> { charset = "utf-8"; } null)
      (<title> {} (esc "hello"))
    ])
    (<body> {} [
      (<h1> {} (esc "hello world"))
    ])
  ]

=> "<html><head><meta charset=\"utf-8\"/><title>hello</title></head><body><h1>hello world</h1></body></html>"

02566cdcfb feat(nix/buildLisp): add ecl
Adds ECL as a second supported implementation, specifically a statically
linked ECL. This is interesting because we can create statically linked
binaries, but has a few drawbacks which doesn't make it generally
useful:

* Loading things is very slow: The statically linked ECL only has byte
  compilation available, so when we do load things or use the REPL it is
  significantly worse than with e. g. SBCL.

* We can't load shared objects via the FFI since ECL's dffi is not
  available when linked statically. This means that as it stands, we
  can't build a statically linked //web/panettone for example.

Since ECL is quite slow anyways, I think these drawbacks are worth it
since the biggest reason for using ECL would be to get a statically
linked binary. If we change our minds, it shouldn't be too hard to
provide ecl-static and ecl-dynamic as separate implementations.

ECL is LGPL and some libraries it uses as part of its runtime are as
well. I've outlined in the ecl-static overlay why this should be of no
concern in the context of depot even though we are statically linking.

Currently everything is building except projects that are using cffi to
load shared libaries which have gotten an appropriate
`badImplementations` entry. To get the rest building the following
changes were made:

* Anywhere a dependency on UIOP is expressed as `bundled "uiop"` we now
  use `bundled "asdf"` for all implementations except SBCL. From my
  testing, SBCL seems to be the only implementation to support using
  `(require 'uiop)` to only load the UIOP package. Where both a
  dependency on ASDF and UIOP exists, we just delete the UIOP one.
  `(require 'asdf)` always causes UIOP to be available.

* Where appropriate only conditionally compile SBCL-specific code and
  if any build the corresponding files for ECL.

* //lisp/klatre: Use the standard condition parse-error for all
  implementations except SBCL in try-parse-integer.

* //3p/lisp/ironclad: disable SBCL assembly optimization hack for all
  other platforms as it may interfere with compilation.

* //3p/lisp/trivial-mimes: prevent call to asdf function by substituting
  it out of the source since it always errors out in ECL and we hardcode
  the correct path elsewhere anyways.

As it stands ECL still suffers from a very weird problem which happens
when compiling postmodern and moptilities:

f59ab9aba5 feat(sterni/nix/fun): add hasEllipsis
As a complementation to builtins.functionArgs this function checks if
the function has a set pattern that contains an ellipsis
(i. e. `{ [arg, [ arg1, [ … ]]] ... }:`). The implementation of this is
pretty cursed however since there is no clean way to do this in vanilla
nix: We need to match on the output of builtins.toXML which does try to
serialize functions by outputting their argument and information about
it (whether it is a normal argument or a attribute set pattern, in the
latter case it also serialize every component of the pattern).

0133fdc737 chore: move all 3p buildRustCrate derivations to //third_party
Profpatsch and me are basically the only users of
depot.users.Profpatsch.writers.rustSimple*. To pull in the odd
dependency we usually use buildRustCrate which is rather convenient.
However we've picked up the bad habit of inlining these in a let
somewhere instead of managing them in a more central location although
there has been an (unsuccesful) attempt at this in
//users/Profpatsch/rust-crates.nix.

This CL moves all buildRustCrate based derivations into
third_party.rust-crates and deletes any duplicate derivations we have
accumulated in the tree.

68f3ac64c4 feat(sterni/nint): shebang interpreter for nix scripts
nint (short for nix interpreter) is a tiny wrapper around nix-instantiate
which allows to run nix scripts, i. e. nix expressions that conform to
a certain calling convention. A nix script runnable using nint must
conform to the following constraints:

* It must evaluate to a function which has a set pattern with an
  ellipsis as the single argument.

* It must produce a string as a return value or fail.

When invoked, a the expression receives the following arguments:

* `currentDir`: the current working directory as a nix path

* `argv`: a list of strings containing `argv` including `argv[0]`

* extra arguments which are manually specified which allows for
  passing along dependencies or libraries, for example:

    nint --arg depot '(import /depot {})' my-prog.nix [ argv[1] … ]

  would pass along depot to be used in `my-prog.nix`.

Such nix scripts are purely functional in a sense: The way inputs can be
taken is very limited and causing effects is also only possible in a
very limited sense (using builtins.fetchurl if TARBALL_TTL is 0,
adding files and directories to the nix store, realising derivations).
As an approximation, a program executed using nint can be thought of
as a function with the following signature:

  λ :: environment → working directory → argv → stdout

where environment includes:

* the time at the start of the program (`builtins.currentTime`)
* other information about the machine (`builtins.currentSystem` …)
* environment variables (`builtins.getEnv`)
* the file system (`builtins.readDir`, `builtins.readFile`, …) which
  is the biggest input impurity as it may change during evaluation

Additionally import from derivation and builtin fetchers are available
which introduce further impurities to be utilized.

Future work:

* Streaming I/O via lazy lists. This would allow usage of
  stdin and output before the program terminates. However this would
  require using libexpr directly or writing a custom nix interpreter.

  A description of how this would work can be found on the website of the
  esoteric programming language Lazy K: https://tromp.github.io/cl/lazy-k.html

* An effect system beyond stdin / stdout.

* Better error handling, support setting exit codes etc.

These features would require either using an alternative or custom
interpreter for nix (tvix or hnix) or to link against libexpr directly
to have more control over evaluation.

a5f2b446aa feat(sterni/nix/url): implement urldecoding
We use builtins.split directly as it should be a bit more efficient as
lib.splitStrings. Also its returning of a list for every regex match is
useful to update the state while parsing the tokens:

* The tokens are obtained by splitting the string at every '%'
* Everytime we see a boundary (that is a list in the returned
  list of builtins.split), we know that the first two chars of
  the next string are a percent encoded character.

One implementation flaw is that it will currently crash if it encounters
mal-formed URLs (since int.fromHex chrashes if it encounters any non
hex digit characters) and accepts some malformed urlencoding like
"foo %A".

b3f686995f feat(users/sterni/htmlman): hyperlink .Xr macro in output
We make use of the -O man=… option of mandoc(1) which allows to convert
cross references via the .Xr macro into actual hyperlinks in the output.
This can be disabled (by passing "none") or done in two modes:

* all: links all .Xr cross references as if they were in
  $out/%N.%S.html. This will lead to broken links of course.
* inManDir: only link to files in $out if the man page is found in
  manDir, use the template defined in linkXrFallback if not.

all is the default, since we don't require all man pages to be in
manDir, so it would be potentially confusing if the path attribute was
used in the pages list.

linkXrFallback uses the debian online man viewer by default currently,
since it can be decently hyperlinked and debian has a lot of packages.
Other options would be:

* https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/latest/en/man%S/%N.%S.html
* https://man.archlinux.org/man/%N.%S.en
* https://man.openbsd.org/%N.%S
* https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man%S/%N.%S.html

2cd2b58a04 feat(users/sterni/htmlman): static site generator for manual pages
htmlman is a very simple nix based static site generator which is
intended for rendering HTML representations for man pages plus an index
page listing all available pages. For the sake of simplicity (and unlike
previous iterations of this piece of code) other documentation artifacts
and formats are not supported.

Usually web services like GitHub and depot's web interface are pretty
good at displaying "normal" documentation artifacts like markdown files,
but man pages are usually not rendered — with the additional problem
that it's source is virtually unreadable. htmlman should provide a
simple static site generator which can be plugged into GitHub actions or
the like to automatically generate rendered version of man pages tracked
in version control.

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.

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.
