Nimble for Nim v2

+1 for monorepo. Also, it's very annoying that nimble requires for package that sources be put into subfolder. In many projects I put sources at top-level. And many Nimble features are just overkill, a library should be basically just a path for compiler, and all the docs should be less than hal

I'd say Next.js, mainly because of React being reactive and having excellent tooling.

Any fuzzy or trigram substring search library, with index, so it's instant?

Wondering if there's fuzzy or trigram substring search library in Nim. It should be fast, so it should use some sort of index, in-memory index would be fine. let doc1 = "therearemultiplereasonstoaboutforexeverysingleofthoseforextrendisbigenoughto" let doc2 = "someothertext"

How to create modular program (like main with future addons) ?

I'd suggest using WASM over using a system library if you plan on shipping code that way. It's sandboxed by design and is cross platform. Eitherway using a plugin system for DLC is a grand way to enable a modding api. :D

Algebraic data types and structural pattern matching RFC

Hmm, `if circ as Circle(binding):` seems nice.

Algebraic data types and structural pattern matching RFC

`circl as Circle` is possible to being implemented if I recall correctly. The one downside is that you cannot do `var circ: Circle` could even do `if shape as Circle(circ)` or similar. Given that j-james has suggested just binding the mutability to the symbol type the `as` syntax could be a fine

Algebraic data types and structural pattern matching RFC

Yah Rusts `if let …` just feels so ugly to me. Perhaps something like `if circ as Circle:` or `if circ into Circle:`. I think those aren’t possible to implement as a library feature though IIRC. Just overshadowing the name simplifies the syntax a lot. Maybe even an operator if it was standardiz

CherryPy, because it has a web server with a few features bolted on a bus and not much more. It lets me pick my preferred tools and does not get in the way.

How to create modular program (like main with future addons) ?

Thanks, I seem to have overlooked dynlib. Will do now. Maybe it's a bad idea coding wise, but for a game DLC it's a benefit.

How to create modular program (like main with future addons) ?

You can use DLLs for that via the `dynlib` module. But it's a bad idea because plugin systems in general are a bad idea. You're introducing a massive amount of complexity when you haven't even written the program yet and it's likely acceptable to recompile the program should a new feature arriv

How to create modular program (like main with future addons) ?

I want to be able to load/unload program modules depending on user selection and availability. It's about a program which feeds data (always the same format) to a (helper/sub)program which simulates hardware. While the main program remains the same, the hardware changes and new hardware is intr

Most of these are ripped from the java world, since any other feature I would want are more ORM related, which I'm not sure if they are within the scope of your project. 1. Automatic catching of any exception that is thrown while executing a handler proc (a proc that handles an HTTP request,

There is Doing better that than is hard because we generate the stdlib documentation statically and it's only updated for a new release.

Maybe OT, can library documentation automatic be added/incorporated into the local nim docs? And be removed upon removal of the lib. For example Supercollider has such a system.

Algebraic data types and structural pattern matching RFC

The word unions / tagged unions / discriminated unions have a standard meaning in computer science. It's fine because with context it's hard to confuse the two. Using `modulo` for `remainder` is a way worse offense because both are used in the same context. For example the term `field` has a v

Algebraic data types and structural pattern matching RFC

The word “union” has a standard meaning in mathematics. And is there any language other than Rust that calls sum types “enums”? Yeah, `sum` would be bad as a keyword. Perhaps `variant`?

Algebraic data types and structural pattern matching RFC

I would argue with you there: computer science terminology is far from standardized (just look at dynamic arrays! every language uses a totally different name). I would consider the implementation of this to be a tagged union, and in type theory `enum` is a standard synonym for sum types. I've

Algebraic data types and structural pattern matching RFC

Yeah, I'd really like an equivalent of Rust's `if let`: but **not** `if let`! I hate the syntax there too :-D Definitely taking suggestions there (and everywhere, but especially there). My current thought is `if Circle(binding) == variable` but I don't really like it either: it's clean but very
