Interesting topic. I am using Sublime myself. What are you guys using?

Handle missing library at runtime?

Currently, I'm making use of `db_mysql`, which means that there must already be a `MySQL` driver installed. If MySQL is there, the program compiles fine and runs fine. If MySQL is not installed, the program still compiles fine but throws an error (that's on Mac): could not load:

I use ST with nimlsp and it works great. There's currently only one issue I find critical, it's reported and waiting to be fixed (it's something to do with Windows paths, nothing extraordinary).

What Nim projects are you working on?

No, I don't have any benchmarks yet. Now, my main goal is to upload and download big video files (between 20Mb and 200Mb) with a small memory footprint. The videos are product demos for e-commerce sites. But in the future I will make the comparison!

I know the GitHub page says that FastKiss is still in development, but do you have any benchmarks yet? Comparing this new framework to Jester would be interesting.

What Nim projects are you working on?

I am currently working on another web framework. The [FastKiss](https://github.com/mrhdias/fastkiss) is a flexible Nim's FastCGI Web Framework. All most things work fine. Tested with Nginx and Apache. [Working Examples](https://github.com/mrhdias/fastkiss/tree/master/examples).

Nim macros operate on Abstract Syntax Tree level and are integrated into the language, unlike C pre processor which is just replacing text. They are much more powerful - you can generate code, modify the AST tree directly, change how Nim behaves, etc. See: ,

This plugin just provides the syntax (grammar), indentation, comments and symbol rules, no python logic included. nimlsp should be used alongside this plugin.

What's wrong with nimlsp and Sublime? I'm not a Sublime user, but wouldn't it be better/easier to improve nimlsp instead of creating another plugin?

Hint: I didn't even really read your post because whenever certain "red flags" appear (like 'rust', 'go', 'xml') I immediately loose interest and switch off. If however you were to create reasonably good support for Nim in sublime (in C, lua, or python iirc) I'd volunteer to serve as lab rat _(f

No wonder that Sublime is little used _as it has no current and good Nim support_. I bet that once it supports Nim about as well as VSC it'll find quick uptake. @AmjadBHD I am very interested in seeing more editors with support for Nim, in particular Sublime Text which, unlike VSC, isn't a blo

It's not about ram it's about speed and responsiveness. As for popularity all editors lost popularity to the multi-million-dollar-company-driven VSCode that M$ provides it for free just because it loves developpers. Anyway this is not the subject of the thread.

Yes, a @Ward, it is a good habit to treat the source code as a source and representation of knowledge rather than to be tempted to over-clean it to something 'just working'.

> I've got generics, templates, macros high on the priority list. What else? Perfect. Else is using GUI frameworks. Btw does Nim have macros in the style of the C Preprocessor?

What Nim projects are you working on?

This live programming style is just killer. I am seriously hoping in the future sometime there will be programming enviroments that are like Smalltalk just in a 3D format like that. Different modules can interact with eachother ect. Very impressive stuff, and pleasing to the eye.

You might want to just update your choosenim manually. Just re-download and install the latest release zip.

In [cligen.macUt](https://github.com/c-blake/cligen/blob/master/cligen/macUt.nim), I have the caller pass a symbol to any `proc` in the module to a `macro docFromModuleOf*(sym: typed{nkSym})`. Then that can use `lineInfo` to get a pathname and then `staticRead` can slurp the whole file into a `

That looks very cool! Did you make it? I really like the environment! Yeah you can actually go very far with the default SDL2 renderer but once you require shaders, you need to add something like GLAD and let SDL2 handle the windowing and inputs (...) only. Btw you can go really far with only a

Wow that is awesome! Thanks for sharing your story. The only reason you were able to go one level deeper was because you had some sort of understanding which i currently lack. Also, I'm quite new to programming in general ( 2-3 years experience ). This exercise is purely for educational purpose

handmade hero in nim ( warning: noob)

SDL2 is super mature, for input, audio etc, but keep in mind that (AFAIK) SDL2 does not expose shaders to you, so the SDL2 draw calls are also only for prototyping, (AFAIK) you cannot add shaders to the sprites you draw with SDL2 only to the whole image. So something like this is not possible w

Get all procs in given module

Unfortunately no, that's not doable. At least not with existing modules. The `macros` module contains a proc `getImpl` which you _could_ potentially use on a module name. I say _could_ , because actually using it on a module returns a `nil` node. The closest I was able to get to this was to cre

Yes i can understand that this is mostly a learning experience (which is good :) ) But then keep in mind that when you not use graphic api to draw stuff with shaders/graphic api draw calls, that you cannot do a lot of stuff (i guess most of the stuff you want to have actually ;) ) what i mean i

Ok, so I've been trying to get _all_ procs defined in a given module. Let's say in `myModule.nim` we have `proc proc1` and `proc proc2`. How can I do something like this (at compile-time): const myProcs = getProcsIn("myModule") Run and `myProcs` containing `[proc1, pr
