My own NEd editor works really bad when many generics are used, so I wrote the
rtree module with plain gedit without any special Nim support. Unfortunately my
editor has the same problems when I only import rtree module -- for a file with
only 700 lines of code and gtk3 and rtree import it blocks often for more than
10 seconds.
Generally nimsuggest works great for me, nearly no crashes any more. But these
blocking is really not that nice, for example when I press CTRL E to check for
errors, or sometimes also when I only move the cursor and nimsuggest tries to
show information about proc under cursor.
I just tried to remember how nimsuggest can be used from console and tried
$ nimsuggest --stdin test.nim

Run
with file
[https://github.com/StefanSalewski/RTree/blob/master/tests/test.nim](https://github.com/StefanSalewski/RTree/blob/master/tests/test.nim)
which of course compiles and works fine, nim ckeck test.nim is also fine.
That also blocks for at least 10 seconds with output finally

I think there are some editors available which support PMunch
LanguageServerProtocol, like neoVim. May these work better with generics?
