"But I agree, we need to do something about it." This still bothers me, since the compiler has a constant for either 32 or 64 bit ints, could that not be user defined for ints and floats?
Here are the reasons it bothers me: * All C/C++ libraries expect 32 bits * All GPUs expect 32 bits * Many functions and loops are auto vectorised by GCC and other C compilers, and 64 bits are not. (SIMD) * The standard library is written with float or int instead of auto. (Perhaps this could be fixed?) I still only write in Nim, this is the reason I don't want a 1.0 that has mistakes that are impossible to fix. Otherwise I could not be happier with the language.
