Saying : turn on release build , not debug build .

custom pragmas are not supported for enum fields

Also : type MajorType* = enum mtPositiveInteger mtNegativeInteger mtBinaryString mtUnicodeString mtArray mtMap mtSemantic mtSpecial const id_key = [ mtPositiveInteger: 0, mtNega

Brackets and unary operators

`$(input.type)` is function call other language , `$` normal identifier in JavaScript used in JQuery , but operator in Nim . That is confusion . `-(input.type).toUpper` no confusion .

Concepts in Nim v2

You need use Die to make Die Distribution. You not define sample on Die , you define sample for Distribution , which infinite recursive ( define sample for type with sample defined )

Another Pythonish Compiled Language: Lobster

It not compiled it JIT ... Implementation > Choose between running directly using the convenient JIT, or compilation to > C++ for extra speed.

Concepts in Nim v2

`` Die[float] = object `` mean what ?? Float is not generic parameter ! func sample(d: Distribution): float = rand(1..d.sides) This infinite recursive definition ! Distribution not concrete type ! Need use Die !

2.0 RC new and old

sigh... The real problem is there are not enough versions... Nim add features all the time but release very slow, everyone has to change code all at once for all the new features. Then too many features, old code is "broken" but would be fixed easily if it was gradual release. Look at Rust, they
