Mastering Nim: A complete guide to the programming language

As an e-book for 19.99$ I would buy it immediately, even today, but for over 60$ I will never buy it as a hobby programmer.

Mastering Nim: A complete guide to the programming language

In Germany there is a saying: "Jemand hat die Rechnung ohne den Wirt gemacht". That danger exists here. The price of the book is high (20 cents per page). It could quickly annoy someone buy the book, scan it and make it available on a platform. If I were Andreas, I'd get very angry, but not pub

Is there a smarter way to change only one field value of a tuple?

Thank you!

Is there a smarter way to change only one field value of a tuple?

This one works, but is ugly, especially if the tuple consists of very many fields. var frameTextDefaults = ( author: "Thomas", version: "unknown") frameTextDefaults = ( author: "Ralf", version: frameTextDefaults.version) Run A

How to run testament Exe-Test-Files in a different Folder

I am just working my way into `testament` and wonder if it is possible to have the .exe files that `testament` creates for each test in the same folder, automatically created in a different folder (like: `project/builds/test/bin`) One possibility I have found is to include something like this in

"nimble init" creates Unittest-Example-Files that do not work

One additional question. Why is nimble demo code used by "unittest" when it is clearly proclaimed better to use "testament"?

"nimble init" creates Unittest-Example-Files that do not work

Hi I just created a Nimble package for the first time in a still empty git project (exept: Folders are already created) via `nimble init`. Nimble created some sample files for me right away. Among others: * src/private/submodule.nim * tests/config.nims * tests/test1.nim In the manual i

Very good hint. The fact that this has not yet been done shows that there is something wrong here (in the minds of those responsible).

nimsuggest Issue processing ``runnableExamples``

Will such contributions automatically lead to a bugfix or is there more to be done from my side? And if the fix comes. Is this usually a matter of days, weeks or months?

nimsuggest Issue processing ``runnableExamples``

Exactly! Like here:

nimsuggest Issue processing ``runnableExamples``

Recently I noticed that in Visual Studio Code, in cooperation with the nim-lang extension of "Saem", the display of `runnableExamples` does not work. The code-block statement, on the other hand, is processed and displayed correctly. Since it is, as I read on several pages, a better way to work w
