get raw command line

It doesn't exactly "remove" the quotes. The shell interprets them and stores into command-line arguments without them. A C program works the same way. I think you want `shellQuote`. import os import strutils import sug

get raw command line

Is there a way to get the command line string before it's parsed? The commandLineParams proc almost works but it removes the quotes. import os import strutils echo commandLineParams().join(" ") $ bin/tests/t -l=asdf --filename="file name with spaces" -l=asdf --fi

Can I use generic type without interface?

Yes, I did realize I hadn't read your previous post properly, and I missed your point entirely. To continue to miss your point for a second, may I point out that either `{. experimental: codeReordering.}`, or adding `mixin process` to `run` both produce the desired result and allow removing `pro

Maybe database is returning SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, which Nim should probably not throw an exception for, maybe there's a real error.

Enu - 3d live programming and game dev in Nim

The initial release will mostly be for education. People (mainly kids) could use it to learn the basics of coding, and maybe put together a few interesting worlds. I run a coding club with a group of 10 year olds, so we'll be using it there. Sort of a 3D Scratch alternative. Eventually, I'd lik

stdlib pattern matching feedback

It might be a question of terminology mostly, but in my mind * `all` means "every element without exception" (replace with `each`, `every` ?) * `any` \- at least one, maybe more, test all elements in sequences regardless * `none` \- none. Inverse with `all`. * `first` or `find` \- at leas

Update on --gc:arc

Fantastic! Found a flag `nimAdaptiveOrc` that works. In the future it may make sense to make `defaultThreshold` fully user adjustable, but it seems 128 is a decent default for ESP32 chip. I'll make a PR for another flag if it becomes an issue. Also, the `GC_fullCollect` is useful. I'll add them

Nimpretty --maxLineLine seems broken

I think Nim's lexer produces the warning and is used by nimpretty. Disable via `--hint[LineTooLong]:off`.

Nimpretty --maxLineLine seems broken

Hello, I recentry used `nimpretty --maxLineLen:120` to override the 80 default value and it seems it's not doing anything. I still have the same `Hint: line too loog` for line over 80 character. Is there something I missed in Nimpretty usage or is this option not working as intended ?

stdlib pattern matching feedback

Currently `any` captures all elements in `@val`, not just first one. I agree this might be confusing, so maybe renaming it to `findAll` and `find` might be a good idea. Indices of matched elements are not accessible in any predicates right now, but that could be fixed by injecting `matches: seq

stdlib pattern matching feedback

Beware of `any`, people will use it and then need to know which element really did match. And if that's not available they have to use `find` afterwards. And then we have the typical performance vs convenience tradeoff. But it's a tradeoff Nim doesn't have to make with its DSL powers.

stdlib pattern matching feedback

It is really similar to the python version (e.g. a lot of similar features and syntax). Sequence pattern matching is more feature-full, with support for things like `all`/`none`/`any` \- closely matching templates from `sequtils` module (namely `allIt` and `anyIt`), so you should be able to writ
