00:02 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> I have cases where it's useful to have an enum of a larger UInt32 type even if it only represents numbers up to 31

00:02 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> gotcha

00:02 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> if you dont customize the values could you do something with just the amount of constants?

00:03 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> `sizeof(MyEnum)` just returns the size of the underlying int type, right? Can you call that in a macro anyway?

00:03 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> idt

00:03 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> Yeah that was my first thought, but I have a few cases like this :/ ⏎ ⏎ ```code paste, see link``` [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=630ff6d8458f823ce05f6811]

00:04 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> rip

00:04 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> If I could just do a `while` loop or have a `break` in my macro, I'd be set haha

00:04 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> Ooh can I return early from a macro? I'm guessing not?

00:04 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> dont think so

00:05 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/8835

00:06 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> would love if someone got a PoC working for that. would be *sooo* helpful

00:16 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> The first issue you sent gave me an idea

00:16 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> ```code paste, see link``` [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=630ff9d3b16e8236e35649d9]

00:16 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> I hate it but it works lol

00:18 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> Also, that syntax for macros is new to me. I didn't realize that was valid. Makes writing macros a lot shorter..

00:32 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> lol... ⏎ ⏎ ```code paste, see link``` [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=630ffdaf9994996293425e2e]

00:33 <FromGitter> <mattrberry> Just increments off of the last value I guess..

07:46 <FromGitter> <azurelmao> Sankalp: Ok, so the reason why bar.as(Bar) was returning (Bar | Nil) was because of the unless statement. This snippet works: https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/dp5a

14:15 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> i feel like there's a better way to do what you're doing

14:16 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> @azurelmao is the goal to just have a singleton type that's lazily initialized?

14:23 <Sankalp> @azurelmao cool, you can even lose the `return`s https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/dp95

14:24 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> ```code paste, see link``` ⏎ ⏎ tada? [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=6310c093cf6cfd27af6a71c6]

14:28 <Sankalp> @Blacksmoke16 it gives error while trying to access `bar` https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/dp9a

14:29 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> sec

14:29 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> ```code paste, see link``` ⏎ ⏎ fixed [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=6310c1e46837563d1cb29dad]

14:31 <Sankalp> Works now!

14:31 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> 👍

18:59 <FromGitter> <azurelmao> Wow, this is much cleaner!

18:59 <FromGitter> <azurelmao> Thanks!

19:15 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> np

20:18 <FromGitter> <azurelmao> Is there a cleaner way to do this? Preferably so that I can just plop Player as the first argument and not *this* https://carc.in/#/r/dpbw

20:22 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> can you not have it just accept `Player`?

20:22 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> and not a proc

21:02 <FromGitter> <azurelmao> Nah I can't. I want to be able to create multiple vars, which would require the the instance var to be generic smth like Class and that isn't possible

21:04 <FromGitter> <azurelmao> https://carc.in/#/r/dpc6

21:26 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> no i mean an instance of `Player`

21:26 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> https://carc.in/#/r/dpce tada?
