Compile times normal or my fault?

thanks! I had tried a config file previously, but i was doing it wrong. I misread the compiler guide and had it as `muh_app/config/nim.cfg` and it was just silently ignored. now i have `muh_app/muh_app.nim.cfg`, which is used by the compiler. .exe="gcc-13" --warnings: "off"

Fedora 40 has gcc13 available in the repos and i installed it, but i'm not seeing how to specify a specific binary name with compiler options in the command. I want to try gcc13 out and see if the slowness is due to my code or the compiler version.

I asked why you needed authentication at all, so i could see if there were some other features that would depend on it which might change what nim libs you might choose. Oh well. I'm using Guildenstern and sqliteral with sqlite. Mummy is also a fine option if you don't need streaming multipart

Is this a good idea?

It would be nice if people write better forum post titles, so others can find topics in the future with a search. Titles like "help", "look at this", or "is this a good idea" make for poor searchability. Usually the OP explains what they meant in the beginning of the actual post anyways. In this

It looks like clang and gcc are only using one thread at a time while compiling. Is there a way to make the compilation process use all 12 of my threads at like 80% or something? or 10 threads at 100%? I thought i needed to just get a more powerful processor, but it seems like it's barely using

thanks @araq. That's what i suspect too, since i think this started once i upgraded to fedora 40, possibly 39. what does `-c` do? when i run `nim --help` there is no `-c` option. Running without `-r`, but without `-c` does not necessarily help, but `-c` seems to work everytime, so far.

Introducing an async library inspired by Go in Nim

If Go's implementation was the primary inspiration for this package, than to me, it's fun/nice to give them a nod. It's also a nice, shiny hook for people with Go experience to try Nim. Beyond that, I don't consider the history of the underlying feature all that important, but I don't have a dog

Cool project, but i don't love the name. It's not specific enough and IMHO, "NimGo" would be for something that implements, or interfaces/converts to/from, the whole Go lang in some way, not for a project that implements some specific Go feature, or feature set, in Nim. I think it would be best

I guess i should clarify what i mean by `i agree...`. I think Nim still needs the right kind of web framework, alluded to by the OP. Whether it is adopted by the masses is not as important to me as it is that Nim users or potential users have the framework they need. Certain needs are already me

no simple way to import files from dir recusively?

`Importing the whole directories of code is usually a rare case` This is true and most project files don't have huge import blocks. I didn't really notice that i only have one file that has so many imports, so it's possible i could refactor, though i doubt that will make those imports go away,
