Convert Python codes to Nim codes

For the slicing syntax, try the simpler option of the previously suggested `collect` together with `countUp`, which supports strided for, like python's `range`.

I once had to overcome the same thing for scraping a site that used a rotating cipher of obfuscating links through various js schemes. My solution was overkill, but future proof - embed the entire v8 js engine, evaluate the code, then extract what was necessary. It's an option. This was before d

Thanks all for the great responses! But I'm still not sure how to use the slice function. #--- # Name:WordSearch.nim # Purpose: Find word in a grid of letters in any directions. #---

Nimble and two different C files with the same name

I don't know how to solve your main problem, it feels like a c compiler bug? But implement gzip decompression in native nim and is very fast, beating or matching zlib. It also uses different SIMD for x86 and arm. Maybe no need to wrap libdeflate?

Nim v2: what would you change?

Ah, I didn't know that the Nim VM was equivalent to the entire Nim compiler. I was under the impression that there were improvements to be made in using Nim as a library that would help reduce executable size, and make it work with arc/orc etc. I should take another look at it then, thanks!

It sounds like you're in for a world of pain and/or fun :) Writing an interpreter is no joke, and it looks like you may need to account for complex behavior that has already been done by someone else. Might I suggest using an already made Javascript interpreter and see if that works for you? [D

Yeah, I also think a blog post calling the antivirus companies out is our best bet. In the meantime I noticed replit has the same problems and I tweeted at a Microsoft PM who has helped them:

Nimble and two different C files with the same name

Hi, I'm trying to wrap libdeflate in Nim. I would like to create a package which doesn't depend on any external library so I embedded C sources of libdeflate inside my Nimble package. Now I use following `compile` directives in my source code: {.compile: "libdeflate_gzip/private/l

Unfortunately it's more complex than that. Here is the rube goldberg code I need to convert to Nim. These are steps operating on an array. (youtubes anti-piracy measure) try{try{4=c[62-Math.pow(3,3)%497]&&(c[33]>30*Math.pow(2,1)-53||((0,c[44])(c[0]),void 0))&&(0,c[56])(c[0]),1=c[1

Since you want to convert the javascript to nim I assume you want to use symbols defined in javascript in nim. This is impractical unless you use nimscript somehow, but if you just want to run javascript, you can bind to [QuickJS](https://bellard.org/quickjs/), there is a [wrapper for it alread

Nim v2: what would you change?

there is no way you can load NimScript at runtime without embedding the nimscript interpreter at run-time, and increasing your executable size. The nimscript interpreter being the same as the nim compiler.

Nim v2: what would you change?

I don't see a way of doing this officially that wouldn't have the problems you describe. Maybe something like `nimscripter` could be made into a static library.

"Transpiling" implies translation. Nim is meant to produce C code, not translate to it. The key difference is that you generally can't translate from the C output back to Nim. Sorry this conversation is unrelated to the original post.

The power of macros is exactly what you seem to perceive as a weakness. Most languages doesn't allow you to modify your own code on compile-time, some offer limited support. Nim is really one of the few languages which offers this level of compile-time modification of code, which is a really pow

Sourcehut is cool, especially their stance on open source collaboration. But the problem with them is that they have a high learning curve, you need to understand the git VCS in depth in order to be able to use sourcehut to the fullest, the reason platforms like github are used is because they t

This is not "harmless", for example a lot of dependency repositories contain analytics to track how often and who downloads the dependencies, if I am pulling dependencies I do not want to be tracked. Yes they can be useful, to understand what is no longer needed, or which is not being used at a

How about no analytics, that would be ideal!

Any way to compile with `-O2` or `-Ofast`?

I would disagree with this, typescript is transpiled to javascript because they have similar levels of abstraction, and also they have pretty much the same syntax, one implements a type system, the other doesn't, that is the major difference between the two languages. Furthermore I disagree with

Whether or not Nim transpiles is up for debate:

Many antiviruses offer a way to report false positives, so they can (and will, in my own experience) update their signatures. Obviously not ideal, but ideal may not exist.

But why, `Chan[T]` already has reference semantics so you can pass it as is through over Chan[T] Otherwise what you asked to do is the following (but i see no point in actually doing it) let chanPtr = createShared(Chan[int]) chanPtr[] = newChan[int]() Run
