nim for quantum computing?

I'm not very familiar with Quantum computer, but when we're talking about radically different architectural design, you should be asking whether C can be used for it. I tend to believe C wouldn't work as well as you'd imagine because it's actually missing some things that can speed up programs,

Article on wrapping C libraries in Nim

@PMunch nice writeup! I look forward to reading more. Any plans to do write ups on dynlib's? @adokitkat I'm planning at some point of setting up Nesper to use [cimporter](https://github.com/elcritch/cimporter). It automates c2nim by taking some ideas from Futhark. Importantly, it uses the C com

nim for quantum computing?

Any code/examples/blog posts on quantum computing with nimlang? recently reading a paper on [twist by MIT](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3498691) and wondered if Nim is so versatile, could there be a use-case here?

Design discussion for KommandKit - async, multithreaded, ORC-ready web framework

That might work. I think in my case it would have to be an object with proc pointers since it would handle startup and shutdown events. I'll see what happens. @Araq Do you have any suggestions in terms of event bus implementation, particularly about receiving events from channels on the async s

Nim for mobile

Also you can use Unreal to target mobile and as a cross platform environment really. Dont think there is a much better developer workflow for Nim outhere: fast hot reloading with access to the VM as an interpreter too (no comp times). I want to explore the path of building an example GUI soon. A

Writing a wrapper for ML libraries how-to

XGBoost has a C API: I've never used CatBoost though.

Avoid copying large string?

Wondering if this the correct usage of avoiding copying the string? Or there is a better way to avoid dealing with `parser.text[]` dereferencing inconveniences? import std/strutils type Parser = object text: ref string i:int var parser = Parser()

Nim for mobile

Also, naylib (Nim wrapper around raylib gamedev library) [provides steb by step instructions](https://github.com/planetis-m/naylib#building-for-android) how to build Android app.

And this would be it in more idiomatic Nim: proc buildApp: App = let todo = TodoApp() result = proc(events: seq[InEvent]): seq[OutEvent] = todo.process(events) Run

Nim for mobile

Nothing that makes it easy or a boxed setup kind of deal. But there have been some mobile gamedev done, and you have which deals with interfacing against the JNI and which builds Android apps without the Android

Type mismatch with echo and trouble accessing Type fields

If you do this, you will encounter problems if your ref type contains fields which are also references. At what depth will you stop? And, worse, if there are cycles, you will enter in an infinite recursion.

Type mismatch with echo and trouble accessing Type fields

proc `$`*[T: typed](x: ref T): string = "->" & $(x[]) type MyType = ref object child: MyType val: int var a = MyType() a.child = a echo a Run Way too naive it requires a cyclic check

Article on wrapping C libraries in Nim

@cmc, not really. To build I just need `--passL:"-lcoap-3"` and that tells Nim where to find all the missing symbols introduced by Futhark and to require that dynamic library when it loads. You could of course also static link, or even compile the library into the code directly as I do for stb i

Type mismatch with echo and trouble accessing Type fields

It would be much better to update echo to work with ref

State of HTTP Servers in Nim

I don't know CherryPy, but yes, at the first glance, it looks similar to channels / messages based parallelism.

Design discussion for KommandKit - async, multithreaded, ORC-ready web framework

The actors wouldn't be stored inside of the application shared object or anywhere where a concrete definition is required, but you're probably right that I'll have limited flexibility when using a concept. Probably best to do the classic inheritance thing in this case

Nim for mobile

Sure, Nim did run on mobile 3 years ago and it received 3 years of development and still runs on mobile.
