New Nim Discussion Site

Sorry for being curt in my response to your reply. I totally agree that "Nim is at a stage where the more communication channels it covers, the better.". Go/Rust/Swift all have companies with billions backing them. Nim really only has it's features.

Template or macro for heterogeneous tuple expressions?

You can probably use an implicit generic (`tuple` with no generic parameters) and use

Template or macro for heterogeneous tuple expressions?

I've been implementing functions for concepts where the implementing types are heterogeneous tuples of 2,3,4 or more elements. Something like: type Eq* = concept x, y eq(x, y) is bool # ordinals implement Eq func eq*(x, y: SomeOrdinal): bool = x == y

It was an available name, and descriptive. If you would prefer, I can shorten it.

Wow, that's one long ass URL.

Native GUI development for MacOS

I've been plaing with 'objc_runtime' this weekend, and wanted to show how I created a subclass of NSObject with methods, property, and iVar. Idea came from this`StackOverflow post `

Question about "thread-local heap" garbage collectors and threads.

@tsojtsoj: Yes, spawning as per your code is still fine (as long as you use `--threads:on` in your compiling command line and import `threadpool`) but you should make sure the object pointed to doesn't get collected due to no reference, as per the following working code: # compil

Question about "thread-local heap" garbage collectors and threads.

Hi, What are the implications of using a "thread-local heap" garbage collector (e.g. `--gc:refc`) when I am spawning new threads? For example, is this still allowed: func doStuff(data: ptr seq[Type]) = ... var data: seq[Type] = ... spawn doStuff(addr data)

Which macOS installation method for Nim?

Good to know -- thanks.

Quora, the Q&A site, now has a space purely for Nim discussion. If you are on Quora, please consider contributing to the space.

reverse cipher

No great reason. I was probably too suggestible Re performance concerns which likely don't matter (yet!). I _almost_ said "there are several ways to do this". That'll teach me to be brief! Lol. So, here, @deoxyt2... import strutils; echo translated.join # A 3rd way Ru

Why would you `cast` and not `join()`

If you really are only reversing, that is an included battery: import algorithm var message = "mensaje secreto" message.reverse echo message # Another way... let translated = "mensaje secreto".reversed echo cast[string](translated) Run (The `cas

Base method when returning an iterator

See this example . The warning comes from the fact that the return type is a generic iterator. If you change the return type to an iterator that returns `coldata` then the warning isn't issued, ie. the warning is only issued on the second `getIter` method (you

Base method when returning an iterator

Ok, by changing method to proc fixes the problem. Is this something about `proc` vs `method` ? static vs dynamic dispatch ?

problem of run procedure with interval and stop the running

I guess this is what you want. import asyncdispatch type Action = proc(): void {.gcsafe.} proc runInterval(cb: Action, interval: int): Future[Action] {.async.} = var running = true result = proc() = running = false proc loop() =

Base method when returning an iterator

I'm pretty much a beginner method fetchDataInterval(self : dbHandle): iterator {.base.} = return iterator (): coldata = for i in self.db.fastRows(sql(self.fetchstring)): yield i.mapIt(parseInt(it)) Run I get a warning > Warning: gene

problem of run procedure with interval and stop the running

Maybe what you want is async with cancelation? Chronos supports that, and mashingan gave an example for Nim async here:

And a modified faster variant: #reverse cipher var message = "mensaje secreto" i = message.high translated: string = newString(i + 1) for j, c in message: translated[i - j] = c echo translated Run
