Suggestion to improve proc type infer, and some complains

You should use `on_click do():` instead of `on_click do:`. The latter is a different syntactic construct. (This should be fixed since it's confusing, but unfortunately that would require breaking backward compatibility.)

Suggestion to improve proc type infer, and some complains

This should work: type Event = object proc on_click(fn: proc()) = discard proc on_click(fn: proc(e: Event)) = discard on_click => echo e on_click proc = echo e on_click do: echo e on_click (e) => echo e on_click proc (e) = echo e on_clic

That's an interesting project to stress-test Nim. Just some ideas: Would be interesting to have echo "Hi" You can test Fersu Compatibility with randomly generated HTML & CSS, take screenshot in Ferus and Chrome, and compare images.

Suggestion to improve proc type infer, and some complains

I think procs could be improved, have better type infer. And to my understanding it shouldn't harm the compilation time and don't require reverse-type infer. Let's consider analogy, imagine that `let a = 1` wouldn't work and you had to use something like: import std/var_sugar # a

I agree with @SpotlightKid, using imgui-type UIs suck. Textboxes don't work right, keybinds are missing, and in the Nim ImGui project demo, there was no unicode support.

That demo looks quite nice actually, and the widgets could serve most use cases just fine. Since their resurgence, have such immediate mode guis gotten any better as far as not redrawing when not in use, etc.?

Always great to see more browser engines in development. I've been working on a similar project for a while, and only recently released it; maybe you will find it interesting. Though our end goals are different (I target terminals), and my approach is in large part "NIH for fun", so it's more o

Hello everyone, I've been working on a tiny web engine (if you can call it that), called Ferus. It did get mentioned in the Nim Blog's May&April update, but at that time it didn't even have proper layout. Now, a few weeks after that, we've added a ton of new stuff. Ferus is designed to be anti-m

realloc and self referencing array problem

Sure, the point is that you need to keep your references pointing to something which won't move. As you've discovered realloc can move everything in your sequence, so to avoid this you can store references to your objects in your sequence instead of your actual objects. But if you want them to l

Like gc:arc can replace kalloc?

realloc and self referencing array problem

"allocate chunks at a time or something" Its the same thing as linked list of arrays, but from different angle :P

realloc and self referencing array problem

The easiest would simply be to store the references in the sequence to begin with. The order would be kept by the sequence, and you're free to link to each object as you see fit. Of course this might hurt cache locality, so if that's of concern I guess you'd need to allocate chunks at a time or

realloc and self referencing array problem

When you expand an array/tree where each member has a pointer to other member, but realloc sometimes copy the old data and the pointers are gone. What im doing now is instead of pointers im using indexes, but its not enough flexible if you want to go up/down to parent/child trees. Other solution

Hmm, do you mean that I mentioned `--threads:off` in readme, in examples? I used single-threaded server and async, to keep things simple and avoid possible unexpected surprises with multicore. Mono itself is not tied nether to async nor to single-thread.

Thanks for the detailed response. I think everything but the reply to #4 makes sense and cuts down on scope. The user isn't going to be able to fix the fact that you have a single threaded http server handling all requests. If the server is overburdened- there's nothing the user can do, and it's
