Yes, fewer chars, but it isn't a matter of fewer chars…

Well it's not like I'll change the language because you "don't find that very nice" so any further discussion is futile.

EU Cyber Resilience Act impact on Open Source community

The EU will fuck it up, as always. Like it did with all the crazy annoying enforced "danger zone: cookies used here" banners or the ban on drinking straws. Now that we don't use drinking straw made of plastic anymore the oceans are finally recovering. Sure, sure.

Small experiment with compiling the Nim compiler with PGO

Interesting - I wonder if the results hold up on slightly larger projects as well! Compiling Nimbus () now is creeping up into the minutes range, most of the time being spent in the garbage collector (see ) - th

Viability of a website generator using nim.

Yep its not that complicated, I have written a small library called [polyrpc](https://github.com/choltreppe/polyrpc) for doing that for different server/client pairs (including a simple way to define your own interface, if its not included). Its not in nimble yet because its not tested that ext

Small experiment with compiling the Nim compiler with PGO

I've made some code to automatically PGO the Nim compiler quite a long time ago, but never got to actually get something useful out of it until now :) If you don't know, PGO allows you to profile programs on real data and then feed that profile to the compiler (the C compiler in our case) so it

Viability of a website generator using nim.

> A pipe dream? Doesn't look that hard. Call the compiler twice, one time for the native code generation that produces the HTML so you need to run the binary, one time to produce JS code.

Viability of a website generator using nim.

@alexeypetrushin A good set of goals is a good thing! A website development tool that creates the content for two servers: A front-end with: 1. a clean mix of single-page-apps for reading (think live reading with ajax etc); each sub-app at a different URL for good bookmarking. Each sub app i

Viability of a website generator using nim.

I know of this type of thing: I covered it in one of my videos; IIRC. The catch is that you are not compiling to html/js; but compiling to an executable that, in turn, generates the html. Using the above file as an example.

It would be better to clearly specify the goal, what do you want from this wramework. Right now it sounds like good farmer tractor, that also should be good ennough for car racing. 1. interactive mobile/desktop web app b) classical web2.0 website like shopify e-commerce? etc. c) ...

The Karax DSL can also be used in a native code setting to produce static websites. I'm sure the repo contains an example for that somewhere...

Viability of a website generator using nim.

The website generators written in nim tend to fall into two types: 1. An all-in-one website dynamic generator that is meant to build an actual web server. Think Karax and the like. 2. Static website-generators written in Nim but use generic text templating. The benefit of type #1 is that t

Viability of a website generator using nim.

For a double-bonus: have this generator framework also create the website's API server. So that at compile-time the front-end JS content is verified against the API server code.

Yes, fork away! I wanted to like in, but it often misses the indentation, even if typed correctly. Also hot code reloading would be a massive improvement.

Just don't forget that with the solutions above the string will have newlines where you have a newline, so you should remove them afterwards, e.g. with replace. Since your variable is static you could do all that in a const.

Hi! I necessarily don't want to create a new separate project if you're open to change up nesper. I was not aware of `cimporter` either. I don't quite like that futhark bundles everything to one file as well. To be fair I just experimented with futhark and I'll try cimporter next. Maybe we could

This is just my opinion, but if the maintainers are unresponsive, or even if your opinion just diverges from the maintainers', then its perfectly reasonable to fork the project (with a name change) to continue development. That's what open source is for! Most discussion happens either here or i

wasMoved and =destroy does not cancel each other out

What do you think about generalizing the destructor removal rule like this: * a `=destroy` is removed if the object is (un|default|zero)initialized in all paths leading to it * a (zero|default)-initialization is removed if it's not used (including `=destroy` calls) until it's assigned. AFAIK
