is there any default type of generic type [T]

I don't entirely understand your question, but default(T) Run exists. You can create a seq of a specific type with `newSeq[T]()`

is there any default type of generic type [T]

when argument of function has any generic type or some types, can those types have default type? I have trouble that when empty sequence is set on argument of function with sequence having generic type, like following proc f[T](a: seq[T]) = discard f(@[])

Nice! Signing infrastructure seems to be a pain afaict. Google just announced an "[Secure Open Source](https://security.googleblog.com/2021/10/introducing-secure-open-source-pilot.html)" project. One effort they're funding is setting up signing infra for open source projects. There's some metr

> Does Nim have something for this? Yes, you can use a closure or a `RootRef` (which is a `ref` so you get automatic memory management).

Nim's types related questions

Hello. In C I can use void pointer to store any pointer to some data. It can be helpful when type is unknown because it related to external source (something can use my library but replaces some functions to own and wants store own's object inside of my object). Does Nim have something for this

Design choice advice for Python-to-Nim transpiler (Python Devs)

This is actually used in the Nim stdlib as a way to implement interface-like objects -

Design choice advice for Python-to-Nim transpiler (Python Devs)

You could do something like this type Foo = object addTwoImpl : proc(a : Foo, x : int): int proc addTwo(a : Foo, x : int): int = a.addTwoImpl(a,x) proc `addTwo=`(a : var Foo, b : proc (a : Foo, x : int) : int) = a.addTwoImpl = b

Design choice advice for Python-to-Nim transpiler (Python Devs)

thats not entirely right either, because you need to pass an instance of the type too

So I picked the worst example lol that will teach me 🙂 and I learned something about nim too. Ah well I guess time will tell then.

Design choice advice for Python-to-Nim transpiler (Python Devs)

This can be done in Nim as well, but you'd just have to translate the default for `add_two`: type Foo = object addTwo: proc(x: int): int var foo = Foo() foo.addTwo = proc(x: int): int = x + 2 assert foo.addTwo(2) == 4 var bar = Foo() b

Apparently, this company provides free signing for open source projects: Maybe it's worth a contact?

Pretty sure we all are! The people who aren't is corporate/university IT. Good news for the signed binaries!
