Proposed table changes - get and getOrDefault

@Varriount \- it's just a matter of what you want to be consistent with. `mapIt`, `filterIt`, and `sortedByIt` seem _really_ popular and `filterIt` at least goes back to 2011. This may be a naming convention too old to change, realistically. `withItem`/`item` (choosing consistency with iterator

Why generic converter doesn't work?

Nim can inferences generic type from arguments, but cannot inference return type. import strutils type Direction = enum top, right, bottom, left proc to_enum[T: enum](s: string): T = parse_enum[T](s) # Compile Error: cannot instantiate: 'T' # let d: Dir

Nim enters top 50 programming languages list on TIOBE Index!

Wow. Thanks for posting about this. This is amazing. I actually thought they use just Google for their rankings, but it seems they use far more now. Their methodology is explained here: . If anyone has the will and time, would

Why generic converter doesn't work?

There is no way for this converter to know what type you want to convert to.

Proposed table changes - get and getOrDefault

Great library! I'm also interested playing with WKWebView, JSBridge and other Web/Webkit related APIs for wrapping advanced web apps with custom UIs <3

Nim earns mention in the news (unfortunately?)

The idea that they code in specific languages to avoid detection is absurd. The malware is in the binary. These are really good coders, and they are adopting agile languages because they are agile. Nim is particularly agile, and still low-level. I'd say this is a sign that Nim is about to explo
