Projectile Motion Simulation Website

Very cool app, entertaining as well as educational. Are you planning on adding (c x)?

We are past the predictions. For better and worse, the emergence of AI will be as significant as going from pagers to cell phones and than to mobile phones. AI is at pagers level right now. Dismiss it at your own peril.

Sometimes (when the load is high?) ChatGPT 4o gets dumb.

Why not use AI to create momentum in Nim?

AI can already write full programs in more popular languages. I think LLM with very large context window with user provided Nim content would be the best to limit hallucinations. GPT-4o maybe pretty good once corrected a few times.

Why not use AI to create momentum in Nim?

Programmers will be replaced with prompt engineers.

How do you handle incomplete nimble packages?

Safety and integrity of packages is (or should be) a valid concern. This accident happened before 90% of internet was malicious: More recently, browser plugins are being turned malicious after becoming

avr_io v0.3.0 + avrman release

Great. Do you have plans on implementing USB peripheral?

Is `concept` similar to `interface` / `trait`?

You may already know it, below Github search string will find all the nim code using concept "= concept" language:Nim path:/ Run

Swift, Godot and c/c++ interop

Seems like all the arguments for Swift for Godot are also arguments for Nim:

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

@nimaoth I just noticed that you mentioned as the inspiration. Their ideas are great - can you say more about features you have implemented or planning to? Also, in the future, is the smooth scrolling going to be a possibility?

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

Since you mentioned MPS, are you planning for Absytree to be a Projectional Editor?

Maybe nappgui is best cross platform gui lib for nim

What's so ugly about it? Looks pretty good to me:

The nim installer for Windows contains malware

Adding a comment here could assuage some fears:

Nim community can help: report false positive to AV companies: @Araq can Nim team add a community comment in VirusTotal for nim official binaries?

Ptr byte to cstring?

@Araq How about submitting a reply explaining why the post is wrong instead of editing it and appending, quite illogical, "Do not give wrong advice" comment. It is discouraging participation if one's comment is censored, even when it's wrong.

Package-Rot as growth hindrance

maybe nimble should be extended to keep anonymous (and opt-in?) usage statistics?

Package-Rot as growth hindrance

Discoverability is a foundation of good package ecosystem, which is why I liked this recent [announcement](https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/10633) of this site:

Nimforum custom theme

Is there a Stylus equivalent for WebKit based browsers?

proc/func/method: syntax

Visual Studio editor supports semantic colorization. Here's how it works for cpp:

`nimpkgs` the nimble.directory alternative no one asked for

Nimble should be extracting last change date from git repo and store it in JSON Schema so it can be easier to tell which packages are stale.

related_post_gen benchmark

Interesting hash function comparison: taken from this article:

Customizable Nimble-badge with latest tag

It's a great looking tag. I think NIMBLE should also be also vertically centered, like the original.

Is it possible to make an extension for the browser on nim-lang?

nim documention

I have not tried it, but it appears one could run local version of nim-lang via HappyX:

Is there a way to tell the compiler to include/export unused functions

Thank you for doing this. The easier it is to analyze malware written in Nim the less popular it will be to write malware code in Nim.

Are any of you as excited about the Zed editer

Only if you have given them that right (maybe in another paragraph?). Paragraph 5 states that they do not relinquish any right, title, interest they already have.

Are any of you as excited about the Zed editer

Apple moat has successfully limited this project to MacOS only.

Is there a way to see the NIM version in an NIM executable (binary) ?

On the other hand, if every release had a unique fingerprint malware creators would have to recompile every every new version for their code to stay current.

Can I download Nim on my iOS or Android device?

I stumbled upon this the other day - since it's possible to make c programs run directly on Android, nim could do it too:

EU Cyber Resilience Act impact on Open Source community

I like common charger standard and many Americans wish they had GDRP, California actually did copy parts of it with CCPA. Security regulations for consumer products are needed, since security is as good as it's weakest link, which is IoT.

EU Cyber Resilience Act impact on Open Source community

“A natural or legal person, other than the manufacturer, the importer or the distributor, that carries out a substantial modification of the product with digital elements shall be considered a manufacturer for the purposes of this Regulation.” If that's the case, that would include, for example

EU Cyber Resilience Act impact on Open Source community

Has anyone read it? Paragraph 10 says: `In order not to hamper innovation or research, free and open-source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity should not be covered by this Regulation. This is in particular the case for software, including its source code

Who wants to do a GSoC about FreeCAD? Program in Nim!

Interesting, Solverspace is what CAD sketcher, add-on for Blender, is using:

Who wants to do a GSoC about FreeCAD? Program in Nim!

I use Fusion360 and every so often I revisit FreeCAD. I am starting to believe that Blender with CAD addon will eventually surpass it given how slow FreeCADs progress had been. For example, FreeCAD had issues with topological naming which have been solved in a fork (by realthunder) two years ago

Getting started with Nim on attiny85

NordicSemi name comes up when battery operation is a requirement and it's used widely in commercial products but I don't know much about it. As you pointed out Pi Pico and especially Espressif SoC power consumption is not great. I love Pi Pico for ease of use with it's build in USB (MSC mode!)

Getting started with Nim on attiny85

Is it really Attiny85? Probably depends on a project. At least for IoT the choice seems to be NordicSemi, Espressif ($3ea) as well as Pi Pico ($1ea).

Nim for Beginners video series discussion thread

Just wanted to say that your videos are very accessible, good pacing, flow, structure and length. Thank you for making them.

Why I stopped programming in Nim

Isn't this fix just for Windows Nim distribution, related to installer activity, which is entirely different issue then what OP is describing: Carbon Black, VMware's analog to MS Defender marking Nim binaries as malware?

Ttop - System monitoring service tool with tui and historical data

I see graphs, historical data, and I wonder if you're considering to extend the utility to monitor sensors data. When I was trying to underclock my Alder Lake CPU I found very few Linux utilities (s-tui) that track thread/core temp/utilization/throttling, especially for processors with >20 threa
