two questions on Import relating to strip

Hello, too bad that strip, align is also in unicode under the same name, we are forced to make exceptions ... Second question: in my source can I for example mysource: import strutils import mymodule mymodule : import strutils except strip import unicode and if I understood correctly the impor

More Nim on more Microcontrollers!? (Arm CMSIS / Zephyr RTOS)

Came across this, could be an interesting approach? It's a code generator that takes in SVD files, which describe hardware and peripherals in a standardized XML format, and outputs zig code. Bonus: we wouldn't need clojure to parse the xml :P For example, i

Excellent explanation, thanks.

Many thanks for that -- I realize now the parentheses are crucial to make the `proc` into some kind of expression.

Relative small community and fragmentation (says an old git who loved USENET).

What is the purpose of do notation

It does not really make sense to put two-three line procedure (that might also be a closure btw, so it can't really be moved to toplevel) to the toplevel, and cramming all of this in the `=>` notation is not always possible as well.

What is the purpose of do notation

Regarding `quote do`, I see no reason why the `do` is necessary for this. Still waiting for someone to explain why it uses `do`. Why can't `quote` just work? Regarding @yglukhov's examples, personally I think the proc syntax is perfectly good, your style just needs a tweak :) foo(a

What is the purpose of do notation

This is the same old problem — Nim doesn't have backward type inference. The `=>` macro does argument type “inference” in a hacky way by making the function generic, but I'm not sure if that's appropriate for a language construct.

Need confirmation this code causes a `SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access`

Declaring a proc with name is a statement. If it was an expression, we have to declare procedures like `discard proc foo() =`. An anonymous proc is an expression and we have to pass it into other procedure, store it to variable or return from a proc. Otherwise, there is no way to call it. I th

What is the purpose of do notation

We have 873 `do`\- lambda occurrences in our private codebase :) . Although they can be replaced with anonymous procs, they slightly add to syntactical ergonomics and readability IMO. Compare this: foo(a, b) do(c, d: int) -> int: # Some body here return c + d
