I just wanted to make it absolutely clear that my remark was never intended as critique or attempt to belittle your work. You've done a great job with Glaucus, in a domain very few people even attempt to do anything in. You have every right to name things how you please without paying attention

NimConf 2024 - registrations

@miran could you please verify my submission was sent? After I've submitted the form it just reloaded and I blinked and didn't see if there was an error there.

Nim rose to the top of median salary leaderboard in 2024 Stack Overflow Developer Survey

Looks really nice! Hopefully, employers will see it and start listing more Nim jobs :-)

Nim 2.2.0 RC1 available

Great news! 👑 What are the new features to expect in 2.2.0?

simpleargs - Dead simple CLI parsing.

This code sample inspired me to add a new demo to Climate: <https://github.com/moigagoo/climate/blob/develop/demo/battleship/battleship.nim>

Absytree: Text editor (and tree based language framework) in Nim

Great project! I hope to be able to switch to it some day. When I launch the editor and move the cursor down, several blank lines appear at the top of the page. Is it a bug or a feature?

I still think Climate is the best CLIP lib for Nim and it's criminally underrated 😁

choosenim: what is the development state?

I tried it and it's actually pretty cool. It feels a little abandoned though but it seems like updating it is just a matter of adding the new versions to the repo, no logic update necessary.

I think the steps to be taken are: 1. Prioritize. What are the most critical problems with choosenim? What features are lacking? 2. Announce. Make a blog post with the list of issues sorted by priority and invite the community to contribute. 3. (Optional) Reward. Offer a signed copy of Mas

About the audio. It seems like it was indeed just me. I've watched the video later with headphones and the sound was much better.

Sorry about that. Try adding the site to you Home Screen and running it from there. That helps sometimes. However, as I said in the comment above, iPhone support is VERY limited.

I strongly NOT recommend using an iPhone. PWA support is crap, and I don't even have a Mac or an iPhone to debug it. I know about the blank screen issue: It's not by design of course, it's because Apply actively refuses PWA as a viable technology on their pla

Hi! I'd like to share a pet project of mine, an anonymous chat service called Cannon: It's a chat that's designed to mimic real-life talk. There is no registration and no history—just like in real life. * The SPA is written in Nim using Karax, Karkas and Kraut.

good day everyone does jester have support for google oauth?

Jester per se doesn't ship with Google Auth but you can implement it with Jester for sure. You can even have Google Auth on the frontend only with Jester uninvolved.

Glaucus Linux

The man sure likes inventing new and unnecessarily complicated terms 😅

Would Nim modules or available Nim web frameworks suffice for an e-commerce back-end?

The frameworks and the language are fine but you'll have to write a lot of code yourself as the ecosystem is not as rich as it is for Python or Ruby or Go. Karax allows component-based code organization but doesn't enforce it or offer a single right way to do it. I'm using Karkas for layouting,

To connect to a specific table, use `tableName` pragma:

FYI Docker images got updated:

Karkas: Karax library to build layouts and work with styles

I'm all for passing the repo to nim-lang organization. Another important thing that's missing now is CI integration.

Template in template: should this work?

I'm working on component system for Karax as part of my Sauer tool. One of the things I want to standardize are container components: the kind of components that have content in them. Like a panel or a layout. My approach is that a component exposes a `render` template that accepts a code block

To add to the previous comments, if by unsigned you really mean positive, use Positive or Natural types. Then you'll have your checks, both for positivity and overflow.

JS backend: Can't return a proc that iterates over an openArray

Thanks for the good point! I'll update my code, I like your variant. It's clear and safe. My PR that enables this syntax for JS brackend has already been merged. So I think it may stay there. The current behavior is probably better than the obscure compiler error.

I'm seeing 27 open PR in the packages repo: Some have been sitting there for days, some for weeks. Is this the way it's supposed to work? Are we waiting for a human to merge them?

JS backend: Can't return a proc that iterates over an openArray

> If I'm not mistaken, you can't really close over an openArray because it's > just a pointer+size pair I think, from the JS backend perspective, open array and sequence are indistinguishable. It's just that currently `openArray` is just missing from `compiler/jstypes.nim` entirely, so I think

> I do not understand the code, you try to do a Closure? This is just a stripped down code sample to demo the issue. I'm working on a router for Karax. To do that, I need a proc that returns a proc. And this proc in turn would have to check the available routes, meaning iterating over them. It

Proc type won't match despite identical signatures

You're right, the syntax is incorrect in the message you're replying to. But you can see it failing with the proper syntax downstream.

Proc type won't match despite identical signatures

OK, I made it compile. 1. I forgot to convert string to kstring in `r` definition. Fixed. 2. I've explicitly added `{.noSideEffect, gcsafe, nimcall.}` to the `Route` definition. Here's the working version: import std/tables import karax/[karaxdsl, kbase, vdom]

Changing seq to openArray doesn't help.

Proc type won't match despite identical signatures

Here's a more complete example that doesn't compile: import std/tables import karax/[karaxdsl, kbase, vdom] type Context = ref object of RootObj urlParams: TableRef[kstring, kstring] Renderer = proc(context: Context): VNode Route = tupl

Proc type won't match despite identical signatures

Thanks! No I don't need to use `is`, it's just an example. The problem is that when I later construct an array of `(kstring, Renderer)`, it won't match a proc that expects an `openArray(kstring, Renderer)`.

Proc type won't match despite identical signatures

Hi! I'm writing a router for Karax and want to formalize what a renderer is. The definition I'm going with is that it's a proc that accepts a Context and returns a VNode. However, when I define a proc with this exact signature, it won't match. Here's a minimal isolated example: i

Delete items in a seq while iterating over it?

If your goal is to filter out elements based on some criteria, I'd say the idiomatic way tondi that would be to use filter/filterIt or keepIf/keepItIf procs from std/sequtils.

Choosing Nim out of a crowded market for systems programming languages

It's a real-life story, those can't be unopionated. This shouldn't be posted as a official statement on behalf of the Nim team, sure. But as a person sharing there experience, this is a legitimately good story IMHO.
