choosenim 0.8.5 release announcement?

> The 0.8.5 version is basically the exact same as the 0.8.4 version A bit of an understatement, isn't it? I think the fix for #5 / #320 alone (use https URLs) is pretty significant.

choosenim 0.8.5 release announcement?

I see that the choosenim fork under the nim-lang GH organisation released a new version 0.8.5 two days ago: It's good to see that choosenim emerges from it's limbo state and has been adopted by the nim-lang org! I think that warrants

getting started question, jester vs. karax?

@hamidrb80 Never heard of unpoly before (but I don't do much frontend work). It seems similar in goals to [htmx](https://htmx.org). If you do know htmx, can you elaborate how the two compare?

`nph` opinonated formatter v0.2

IMHO, the linked FAQ entry doesn't give a satisfactory answer. I get it that consistency is an important goal,. But IMO this should apply to a project's or organisation's code base, not the whole world's Nim codebase. We're not Borg and different code bases have different requirements. But it's

Hello `nph`, an opinionated source code formatter for Nim

`isort` distinguishes between stdlib, third-party, project and local imports heuristically and gives you options to sort within a section or across all imports and also has options how to sort symbols within one import line.

Formatting (and optionally re-grouping and re-sorting) imports could be an extra step / tool, like Python's `isort`.

Package-Rot as growth hindrance

Hello `nph`, an opinionated source code formatter for Nim

What's the rationale behind this style choice? import std/[parseopt, strutils, os, sequtils] Run Seems unnecessary wasteful with vertical space to me.

Advent of Nim 2023

So, if you're not on the first private leaderboard can you at least somehow see it?

Operators.

Please provide more context. In Nim you can define / override the behaviour for operators based on the type of the operand(s), so we need to see the code where the operator is used.

Advent of Nim 2023

Here are my solutions in using Nim so far: I'm not sure, though, how many days I'll be able to participate.

Improving Examples and Documentation

> Examples are too sparse or don't cover enough cases That's the main deficiency of the official docs, atm, imho. Especially the stdlib docs could benefit most from (way) more examples, I think.

Get C code output

https://nim-lang.org/docs/backends.html#interfacing

PODS: Easy to read and type text format for serialization and config files.

Interesting. Is there some sort of specification for the format? For example, from the examples, it looks like it distinguishes between (named)tuples and dictionaries/hashes/tables/whatever-you-call-them? How do you have strings with embedded single quotes? Is there a binary data type or base64

Wrapping Tkinter GUI in Nim?

While Tkinter interfaces are ok on Windows and maybe macOS (I don't really know), they are IMHO horrible on Linux systems. They have non-standard keyboard bindings, look like they're from the 90s, and just lack many things you expect from a modern desktop UI framework. My advice would be to loo

With this the callback becomes: proc btn_clicked_cb(e: ptr lv_event_t) {.cdecl.} = let btn = cast[ptr lv_obj_t](lv_event_get_target(e)) var cnt = cast[ptr int](lv_event_get_user_data(e)) echo now().utc, " clicked" cnt[] += 1 let label = lv_obj_get_

Yeah, let us be tolerant - but only if it doesn't offend me.

HttpClient - Requesting with proxy settings

Your proxy string probably has a trailing newline or CRLF.

It would be easier to diagnose, if you post the error with the full traceback or even better a minimal failing example, which we can run.

how to make a dll in nim-lang?

You need to pass a byte string from the Python side: import ctypes lib = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('./libhello.so') lib.hello(b"Hello World!") Run Also, your Nim function should probably return `void` instead of `cstring`.
