NIXT - ANTIPSYCHOTICS - AKATHISIA - CATATONIA - SEDATION - SHOCKS - LETHAL CATATONIA

SYNOPSIS


nixt <cmd> [key=val] [key==val]
nixt -civw
nixt -d
nixt -s

DESCRIPTION

nixt has all you need to program a unix cli program, such as disk perisistence for configuration files, event handler to handle the client/server connection, deferred exception handling to not crash on an error, etc.

nixt contains all the python3 code to program objects in a functional way. It provides a base Object class that has only dunder methods, all methods are factored out into functions with the objects as the first argument. It is called Object Programming (OP), OOP without the oriented.

nixt allows for easy json save//load to/from disk of objects. It provides an “clean namespace” Object class that only has dunder methods, so the namespace is not cluttered with method names. This makes storing and reading to/from json possible.

nixt is a demo bot, it can connect to IRC, fetch and display RSS feeds, take todo notes, keep a shopping list and log text. You can also copy/paste the service file and run it under systemd for 24/7 presence in a IRC channel.

nixt is Public Domain.
