My Nim Development Weekly Report (3/5)

This is awesome thank you! Do you have an idea of how far we are from the official Nim 2.0 release?

Overflow Checks

Nim prescribes to the ideology that "unsigned integers are not to be used normally, and when used you likely want wrapping" as such they're unchecked. It only makes the result inaccurate if you disregard the suggestion of using the signed variation.

Overflow Checks

Why are overflow checks not performed on unsigned integers? Doesn't it probably make the result inaccurate? For example echo uint.high + 1 Run outputs `0`, even if the overflow can be detected at the compile-time. Also, the checks seem to always be performed on signe

ROS2 Library port (Robotics)

Hey guys, it's been a while but I've started making progress on this again. Instead of making a pure Nim implementation I've start wrapping the ROS2 libraries. They're all auto-generated using a new tool for automating c2nim. So far I've created wrappers for: * RCUTILS:

Cannot get library demos running due to linker errors

For the libui errors, were you using `uing`? If so, can you submit an issue on GitHub? Linking errors are often caused by the library. In addition, a pastebin with _all_ of the errors would be nice.

iterators composition

My package Slicerator contains a `ForloopStmt` macro which gives a relatively ergonomic API to filter, map, and unpack(I need to figure out a pluggable way of making operations). const data = "1000\n2000\n3000\n4000\n5000\n6000" for x in chain data.splitLines.map(parseint(x) * 2

iterators composition

Came up with this on the forum a while ago:

zero_functional all the way

Debugging Memory Usage in Nim

+1 for valgrind, dead simple usage. All my tests were passing until I added valgrind and it caught bunches of mem leaks

[sugar collect](https://nim-lang.org/docs/sugar.html#collect.m%2Cuntyped%2Cuntyped) may help

NimForUE

ive seen this project on a few gaming channels on youtube, the reception has been very positive

iterators composition

How should I perform iterators composition? Should I use [zero-functional](https://github.com/zero-functional/zero-functional)? maybe [itertools](https://github.com/narimiran/itertools)? or are there other recommendations? I want to do something like: for item in thisIsMyIterator

nimqt - bindings to Qt

Yes, you are completely right.

nimqt - bindings to Qt

I haven't looked much into QML, and at the moment not planning to neither. There is , though, which seems to be usable? Why should I try to integrate it into nimqt? :)

RST in nim.

In my case that is sub-optimal, how would I change that? Also, I found your example works, by my simple `print("Hello World")` does not, is there a reason for this? Run

In the corporate and governmental world there is an enormous amount of old software. Stuff running flawless for 45 years or more. Why change? Why rewrite? Just maintain and extend a bit.

Tiobe is weird, first "Classic Visual Basic" is on position 15. Is there such a large installed base with Visual Basic? Assembly language is on position 11 but is assembly language really a language? Fortran is on place 17, which was old even before I started programming. There is a lot of weir

Cannot get library demos running due to linker errors

Hello everyone, I am very new to Nim: I accidentally stumbled upon it across Reddit, and it intrigued me. I want to give it a try! Forgive me if I'm forgetting something important, but I have not been able to get a demo for two different libraries up and running: both give me linker errors, in
