Nim 1.6.6 release candidate

Seems to be working fine for me!

xml-rpc client lib?

I was searching for the same a while ago but couldn't find any. But implementing on top of `std/xmltree, xmlparser` with `net`/`httpclient` seemed doable with my limited experience with both Nim and XMLRPC. Here is some scribbles: (in the context of ROS clien

Confusion about proc forward declarations

Ah, I see now that the supposed "working example" was a red herring. When I comment out the `meaning` forward declaration, then the compiler complains about `test_proc`. I had assumed that the declarations would be checked in the order they were written and also that they would both be checked.

Concurrent File Download with Async

First of all, threads != async and your code won't be executed in threads (just in case, as you're using `threads` here as an argument). Secondly, you don't need to copy `urls`. Just make a counter `x = urls.len` for remaining URLs, `let currentUrl = urls[x - 1]` and decrease `x` until 0.

Confusion about proc forward declarations

> These functions are neither actually defined nor used in the file; I have > commented out their usage. It is an error to have "forward declaration" but no "later declaration". I think that is your error. Yes, you can forward declare non generic function.

Confusion about proc forward declarations

The following `proc` forward declaration example compiles: (Taken from ) proc test_proc[T, U](arg1: T, arg2: U): float # All good! Run The following does not: proc meaning[T]( s_expr: T ): Atom # Error: implem

Concurrent File Download with Async

Cool, seems to work. This is the code that I've come up with. proc downloadLevels(urls: seq[Uri], folder: string, threads: int = 8): Future[void] = ## Concurrently downloads multiple urls into given folder. ## `threads` is the maximum concurrency of the download. va

xml-rpc client lib?

I see, I think `std/`{`asynchttpserver`, `httpclient`, `xmlparser`} will be my starting place(s) as well. If I produce anything substantive, I will link to it in this thread.

Concurrent File Download with Async

This is fairly simple to do, first create a list of all the files you want to download. Then spin up N async tasks to fetch the files, then simply attach a callback to each which will pop an element from the queue and fetch that (again with the same callback). Then when it fetches the last eleme

xml-rpc client lib?

I've not yet started. Since I don't need a server, my plan was to just use `httpclient` and `xmlparser` from the nim std lib.

Map complex C++ types into Nim

I learned it by reading the generated C code.

Map complex C++ types into Nim

Yes, that did work!! Thanks! Is that on the docs? Couldnt find it

Do name the array element

Alternatively, you may use a tuple or object. var a: tuple[left: int, middle: int, right: int] a.left = 7 a.middle = 8 a.right = 9 Run
