System Programming in 2k20

That's an unnecessary rude and xenophobic comment on your part. Everyone looking at the blog post can find for themselves that the author is a bit immature and probably not competent enough to deliver.

System Programming in 2k20

Sorry, but your attempt to look cool and smart utterly failed. I'd like to counter some of you blab^H^H^H^H elaborations but there is not even a clear line nor does your "thinking" carry the weight to deserve it. As for your language Onyx (btw. do you call everything you do "Onyx"?) I'm acutely

An ambitious project, but had you seen this? ) There is already a language called Onyx. It's over 120 years since H.G. Wells published the War of the Worlds about a Martian invasion, so people did imagine all sorts of things 100 years ago, a

Nimble package structure and interop changes

The biggest pain point for me is that there is no reliable way to create an OS package for a Nim library (or tool) from a GitHub tag / tarball.

System Programming in 2k20

I worked a very long time on ROO systems and not OO or OOP, RelationalObjeObjet, so far in Nim I find my account, I have also worked with C / C ++, and I reconsidered the choice of orientation on a language which would be coherent, and respecting security (by omitting the hackers) allowing me to

Nimble package structure and interop changes

Responding to some points raised by @zahary. Regarding package structure, I've added some info in the `nim.cfg interop` section detailing how multi-package repos can be handled with the same `nim.cfg` path mechanism. But the main motivation of these changes is to simply the lives of library wri

> not see the real objective criticism on Nim Are you sure about that? I even put links into the bullet list describing why Nim is not the best choice for **real** system programming.

System Programming in 2k20

in conclusion all this is to sell ONYX, why not but I do not see the real objective criticism on Nim, and the party taken against Rust, is in my opinion only to enhance the option of going on ONYX !!

System Programming in 2k20

Hey, I've recently finished worked on an article compiling my thoughts on current state of system programming. Nim is mentioned there. Rust is hated there. I've posted it in the Telegram chat previously and gathered some helpful feedback, and even updated the Nim section. Would be glad to hear

@Araq \- I've updated the wiki with a backwards compatibility section. Please review changes and let me know if you have any feedback.

global var not detected by compiles()

Ah thank you missed the elephant for the ghost

global var not detected by compiles()

When `main` is compiled your global variable is not yet declared. This works: template test(k: untyped) = when compiles(k): echo "it compiled" k = "New England" else: echo "not compiled" var k = "New England" var

global var not detected by compiles()

Given this: template test(k: untyped) = when compiles(k): echo "it compiled" k = "New England" else: echo "not compiled" var k = "New England" proc main() = test(pagekey) var pagekey = "England"

Question for the language theorists: Is NIm's OO class-based or prototype-based?

Thanks, that makes it clear. Much appreciated.

Question for the language theorists: Is NIm's OO class-based or prototype-based?

It is class based. Few operations are made part of the "class" but that doesn't make it closer to "prototype-based".

Question for the language theorists: Is NIm's OO class-based or prototype-based?

Nim is not OO lang :)

Question for the language theorists: Is NIm's OO class-based or prototype-based?

I just read about the division of object-oriented languages in **class-based** and **prototype-based**. Through Python and Java I'm more used to the class-based approach, but with JavaScript I know a bit about prototype-based OOP as well. Now I am wondering in what category falls Nim? I guess i

Trouble using parallel

There is a bug in either threadpool or in `parallel` introduced by the new destructor changes. I tried to use `parallel` myself and never managed to besides the example in the experimental manual (and I wrote an entire multithreading library [Weave](https://github.com/mratsim/weave)). Just use

So, any idea?
