Context is important here. Certainly a keyboard first approach in a user environment designed for mouse interaction is going to be slower. But imo using a keyboard in an environment designed for keyboards (i3 wm) will almost always be faster than using a mouse in an environment designed for mice

Geniune question about JS backend support

Thank you Araq. It's nice to hear that you have this vision of separating JS to its own repo and having its own release cycle. Will this be on the roadmap of Nim2 or the release after? If it does happen, I suppose it's a breaking change and require a lot of changes to documentation etc.

Geniune question about JS backend support

Thank you for your reply. I understand the JS backend is decent and there are web frameworks like Karax built on top of it. I'm curious how well it can hold in the long run. When people start to do all sorts of things, like integrate with React and JSX, or if people want a Nim type behave like a

Issues with proxy authentication

Ah, cool. looking at it looks like most schemes are named with the capital first letter. You have to create pull request to nim code :)

Geniune question about JS backend support

The JS backend is 3000 lines of code and it is reasonably stable and is not too expensive to support. It also does support pointers. In 5 years from now we might have extracted and moved it to its own git repository, `nim-lang/nimjs` and will come with its own libraries and release cycle.

Using C, C#, Java, Wasm, Ruby, Python NodeJS, TypeScript... libraries from Nim with MetaCall

Do you have an example calling a C library from nim? Or maybe importing a C library in nim, then allowing nim to use the functions?

Wrapperless interop with C/C++

Anyway you have time to get me started with diligent engine and nim?

Let me take this chance to wish everyone a happy holiday! I have this question lingering in my mind for some time and found time today to write them down. I hope it doesn't create anxiousness while you enjoy your days off. There is no urgent need to reply to me.

Geniune question about JS backend support

Hi, I've used Nim for over a year and really liked it. Prior to learning Nim, I spent a year learning Rust but gave up because it felt too complex and I kept fighting with the borrow checker and the compiler. My productivity was not good. So I tried Nim and was able to pick up easily and get a

What approach can I use to fix a number of parameters in some functions?

I think this is what makes me feel more confortable. Thank you eveybody for the sugestions.

Pythons None in Nim

I think it maps to either nil or Option none type. works better with option. also, u can type: some val (without parentheses) or val.some I personally think the options module should be in the Nim's prelude, receiving the blessing :-)

What approach can I use to fix a number of parameters in some functions?

You can have setGrp, setWp, on System object. they can be saved in that type, and then you use the more flexible parameters... if I understood your usecase. I think that's the best way. other options are a singleton or an external json etc. just some ideas. i think the first solution is the most

What approach can I use to fix a number of parameters in some functions?

Why not create a new type that holds these objects and pass this to the procs?

What approach can I use to fix a number of parameters in some functions?

You can use templates template fname: untyped = fname(sys, p1, p2) Run

What approach can I use to fix a number of parameters in some functions?

Either with default parameters or overloading the function definition. Check the manual () for these. My guess is you come from a dynamic language like python, ruby, javascript

What approach can I use to fix a number of parameters in some functions?

But it looks like `using` simplifies the definition of the functions. I am looking to simplify the way in which I use the functions.

What approach can I use to fix a number of parameters in some functions?

First sorry for the thread's subject, but I don't know how to explain it well. I have several functions that follow a pattern simular to this: proc fname(sys:var System; param1:P1; param2:P2; .; wp:Workplane; grp:Group):Whatever = Run But once known `

Pythons None in Nim

Fwiw I find `int.low` so useless (as there is no positive equivalent) that using it as `None` is perfectly fine.

Pythons None in Nim

Yea, that's what I did. Looks like it is the best solution

Pythons None in Nim

You can use type class to pass int or nil. Unlike `std/options`, which type of value you pass must be determined at compile time. Please read this for more details: proc foo(x: int or typeof(nil); y: int or typeof(nil))

Nim 1.6.2 released

Sweet. Happy holidays!

Pythons None in Nim

and since I am just running into this example while writing Python code, another case where a None in Python can be replaced by something else in Nim, is the case where a None stands for a value that has a default in terms of previous parameters. For example: def constant(size=5, s

Pythons None in Nim

Will probably go with that, always having to write some(value) Run is kinda annoying

Pythons None in Nim

yea, I already did that for other procs but it doesn't really make sense in my case right now

A rant about Nim bugs

I can add that features are added randomly without any real roadmap and as said by @konsumlamm without any proper testing and documenting. One is forced to dig into Nim sources to understand how the feature should work and might be used. Also I see that there's no understanding of the difference

A rant about Nim bugs

A big problem is that if a language has n features, there are O(n²) interactions between them. And Nim has a lot of features.

A rant about Nim bugs

The compiler being hard to understand would not necessarily be fixed by documenting it. It just isn't always written in some mathematically perfect way. Ideally you would make things more straightforward over time but realistically only the original author can do that if it's so eldritch. The "i
