Re: GTK 3.20 Nim wrapper
But do you know what to do with this error? [https://pp.vk.me/c638518/v638518447/8b77/4XL_Mn8aakE.jpg](https://pp.vk.me/c638518/v638518447/8b77/4XL_Mn8aakE.jpg)
Re: Fun with deduplicate
yes of course sorting is slow, when comparison is slow, but most of the time comparison is not too complicated. For the following use case, there is a way to reduce the calculation costs. (warnig all non tested pseudocode, not even checket if I use sort correctly) var someData: seq[A] = ... proc cmp(lhs,rhs:A): int = cmp(someComplexCalculation(lhs), someComplexCalculation(rhs)) result = someData.sort(cmp) to something like this: var someData: seq[A] = ... var tmp = newSeq[tuple[index:int, value: B]](someData.len) for i,val in someData: tmp[i] = someComplexCalculation(val) proc cmp(lhs,rhs : tuple[index:int, value: B]): int = cmp(lhs.value, rhs.value) tmp.sortInplace(cmp) for i,val in tmp: result[i] = someData[val.index] now the someComplexCalculation is only used _N_ times, instead of _N log N_
Re: Promoting Nim via Exercism
Wow! Very cool! The name is quite off-putting, but it's great to see Nim available in one of the code practicing websites. I've been wanting to add Nim to CodeWars, reference issue here: [https://github.com/Codewars/codewars-runner-cli/issues/177](https://github.com/Codewars/codewars-runner-cli/issues/177) but I don't really feel like learning docker and fumbling around with bash scripts.
Promoting Nim via Exercism
Hey everyone, Want a great way to promote Nim? There's a [track](http://forum.nim-lang.org///exercism.io/languages/nim/exercises) on [Exercism](http://forum.nim-lang.org///exercism.io) for coding exercises in Nim. The track has only 13 problems in it right now, but [there are over a hundred](http://forum.nim-lang.org///exercism.io/languages/fsharp/exercises) that are possible. Anyone can [implement existing exercises or contribute new exercises](http://forum.nim-lang.org///exercism.io/contribute) via [GitHub](https://github.com/exercism).
