Problems installing nimlangserver

Hi, I try to install nimlangserver, but it won't compile and always complains with the same error, that a file is missing. when I compile with nim 2.0.8 (or devel@#head) it complains about `@sserialization@sobject_serialization.nim.c` missing nimble install nimlangserver Downlo

nim name origin?

when I first found nim (Nimrod at that time) the name remembered me at a scene from a Bugs Bunny cartoon where Elmer Fudd was hunting Bugs (what else) and Bugs Bunny called him "mighty hunter Nimrod". So I thought cool - Nimrod is a language for hunting bugs.

Tips on how to avoid Nim pointer instability bugs?

IMHO that's not on the same level as the original problems. You will get the same result on any language that has the concept of `var` parameters and you are working with a pointer type. The result is as expected. The problem is a side effect in code flow. Here the same program in pascal.

Nim v2: what would you change?

> re-implement methods as vtables and use the mechanism of the target language (C++, js) if available (and possible ?)

Must check to decide whether this current iteration in a loop is the last

if you really need the last item of an iteration, you could do something like this: template lastItem(last: untyped, iteration: untyped, body: untyped): bool = var hasLast = false var `last` {.inject.}: typeof(iteration()) for it in iteration(): hasLast = tr

Setting up a Nim foundation

was ich bisher gelesen hat ein Verein den Nachteil (oder Vorteil) das er demokratisch geführt werden muss - das macht eine geschäftliche Nutzung komplizierter. Eine Alternative ist eine gGmbH (gemeinnützige GmbH) oder wenn man kleiner Anfangen will eine gUG. Hier ist ein Link zu weiterführenden

Nim 2.0 -- thoughts

cool, this could open the way for other backends.

Nim 2.0 -- thoughts

> backends can be built directly on Nim's ".rod" file mechanism does this mean a backend generator "just" needs to process the `.rod` file(s) then ?

A look at Dart's null safety syntax

When you look at a `string` as a _value_ , I don't like to distinguish between `null` and `""` \- `null` means always the absence of information and a empty `string` carries no information. Hiding this inside an option does not help unless you really need to distinguish these cases.

Embarcadero C++ and bcc target - change old or create new

ok - than that way

Embarcadero C++ and bcc target - change old or create new

Hi, I am obviously one of the few (=1) people which use the actual Embarcadero C++ :). It is now a Clang compiler with some Embarcadero specialities. Therefore it compiles most of the nim generated C or C++ code (I can boot compile the nim compiler with it). For this I had to introduce some `wh

Associate an enum with strings

I wouldn't use a table. An array fits better for this purpose for more elegant you could write a macro of course. But I think its an overkill for such a simple task.

winim - onenote

some guesses: * are you compiling to 32bit ? - or * in your python example you wrote OneNote.Application.12 not OneNote.Application.15, maybe GetHierarchy was removed * you are not using the return result ! try `var res = obj.GetHierarchy("", 2)`

new blogpost: pattern matching (and fusion)

Hm ok - with 1.4.4 it compiles - somehow - but I can use it with `--gc:arc` or `--gc:orc`. There I get other errors, which is unlucky for me because I need `--gc:arc` or `--gc:orc`

new blogpost: pattern matching (and fusion)

I have 1.5.1 from git 4bfc5a955120b90faf07f50b54ae29f2c6e6f123

new blogpost: pattern matching (and fusion)

Is there a compiler flag needed to compile it with fusion (installed via nimble) ? I get an error in the line of the `case..`: `Error: attempting to call undeclared routine: 'case'` when I try to compile: import fusion/matching {.experimental: "caseStmtMacros".} case [

What Nim projects are you working on?
