Neat. That's probably the only real thing about that thread / story.

Need explanation of static compiling warning message

I fixed the problem by using musl to generate target exe file. I was trying to compile a program which connects to postgresql, I would like to have the client to be static without dynamic lib.

Show Nim: Forematics is a Metamath verifier written in Nim.

[Metamath](http://us.metamath.org/) is project that attempts to describe mathematics from ground up starting from very simple axioms, following very simple rules, building more and more complex theorems on top. While having everything machine checked using a very simple verifier. It has one of t

Advent of Nim 2021

new blogpost for day07 with visualization based on [nanim](https://github.com/EriKWDev/nanim)! I had issues with the video and I was finally able to produce the final videos for Crab Dance 🦀🕺 using an accumulation of wrong fixes... eventually (hopefully) it will al be fixed!

Sorted, seems like I had a double installation. nim is now reporting 1.6.0 and countit is recognised

Advent of Nim 2021

Hi all! I decided to try Nim this year with Aoc, and so far I really like it! Nim is very readable and easy to understand. My code can be found here:

Or perhaps not. Choosenim stable reports that 1.6.0 is installed nim - h reports that version 1.0.4 is being used. what do I do next?

compiles fine on my machine. > @minran To be equally opaque, why why? `new State` allocates State on the heap and returns reference, while your program gains nothing from it.

@SolitudeSF Thanks for the feedback. I'm using nim version 1.6. I'm doing advent of code in nim as a challenge from amateur coding (i don't get paid...) in VBA. So there are lots of concepts in nim I need to get my head around. Look like tonighht's reading is about when and where to use new.

@yhfle, @SolitudeSF. Compilation fails with 'attempting to call undeclared routine: 'countIt'' @minran To be equally opaque, why why?

For loop using iterator `..`

Does no one here take any pride in the fact that nim is so good that newbies just expect a..b to work when a>b. C'mon guys, take a compliment, even when its indirect.

Windows stack corruption - a journey into the bowels of the beast

Ever had unexplained stack corruption on Windows? Any curious crash while raising exceptions? One that went away after some unrelated code changes? This is why:

For loop using iterator `..`

I feel your pain. Nim is so good you are encouraged to explore without reading the manual, then you get tripped up by a template It only took me about 10 mins to find countdown to resulve the same issue.

For loop using iterator `..`

The alternative "design" makes no sense, that's why: let a = stdin.readLine.parseInt let b = stdin.readLine.parseInt for i in a..b: echo "so the iteration order depends on the input? Terrible..." Run No other programming language that I know of does this e

For loop using iterator `..`

iterator count[T: SomeInteger](x, y: T): T = if x < y: for n in countup(x, y): yield n else: for n in countdown(x, y): yield n Run This is what I used. This retains the direction.

For loop using iterator `..`

Hello Everyone, I am quite new to Nim and solve puzzles of Advent of Code 2021 using Nim. 🙂 I enjoy the flexibility, compactness and elegance of the language. Tanks for Nim. 🙏 I ran into a unexpected behavior. The for loop for i in 1..3: echo i Run would iterate o

For that, you can use `countdown(3, 1)`.

Hello all! I've done past AoC with a different language each year, and this year I've picked Nim: / My solutions are more functional-like in nature, because that's how I usually orientate my problem-solving steps. No surprise then that I've used `foldl` daily

MetaCall now has initial support for Nim

This kind of thing seems very similar to what ex. OpenBinder does (did). Will have to take a look at some point.

TinyCC/tcc vs zig cc compile-times/etc.

tcc looks to have been around in Nimrod/Nim over the entire 13 year history, since the first public release in 2008. In that time, only 22 issues mention "tcc". Many of these are dups or mention it only incidentally. (For comparison, clang which didn't really show up until 2011 has 305 mentionin

Thanks @Zoom ! Yes, the parsing became simple, still it took too much time writing it. 😀 I am new to Nim, "chunk iterator extension for zero_functional" sounds frightening. 🙂 Thanks for sharing you repo and the Matrix link. 🙏

TinyCC/tcc vs zig cc compile-times/etc.

@cblake Thank you for the reminder of `tcc`. I found that `tcc` works noticeably faster for small tasks, like AoC because you do a lot of runs - and the `tcc` makes it fills like you use interpreter, which is good for the kind of tasks. Unfortunately tcc does not work ideal and I have error lik
