State of HTTP Servers in Nim

Yeah, it's a real problem. Basically anywhere I touch strings I get poor performance. Unrelated to that, but I'd like to hear your thoughts (and anyone else's), what do you think of having HTTP server context instances be thread-local for multithreading purposes? You'd need to set up a server c

Makes sense. The lack of non-experimental compiler supported string views makes it really easy to write string parsing code that makes unnecessary temporary copies. For instance, this will copy in some cases: var readOnlyObject = ObjectType(readOnlyString: “foobar”) … let re

How to make os (e.g. ubuntu) interpret nimscript shebang

I've done something like this before. I wrote a nimscript program and for any strange reason I don't remember anymore I wanted it to have no file extension. (Though usualy I prefer file extensions for the same reasons Araq mentioned.) I just looked it up and tested it once more. For me works:

Be that as it may, they're fairly common, so supporting them in something like nimcr would be welcome.

execProgram() - Managing encoding outputs / indentation
