Dear Araq, how do I create a programming language?

Hi bajith, I recently stumbled upon this: [My First Language Frontend with LLVM Tutorial](https://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/MyFirstLanguageFrontend/index.html) Maybe that could serve as a starting point.

Use of typeof() in object member definition inside macro fails

Hi Beef, your help is appreciated and valuable as always, and your suggestion solves my problem, thanks a lot! Interestingly using `typeof(T.color)` outside the macro does indeed compile and work, maybe a bug in the compiler? But of course using `default()` does make much more sense :)

Use of typeof() in object member definition inside macro fails

Hi y'all! I wrote a macro for conveniently declaring widget types when using [traitor](https://github.com/beef331/traitor), it is used to create a type that conforms to the interface built with traitor with the corresponding member variables. The widget type is generic, where the parameter is t

Trying to get "interfaced" to run with latest nim

Just for reference: I tried `traitor` as suggested by Beef and it works like a charm!

Trying to get "interfaced" to run with latest nim

Hi Beef, thanks again for your help! I think I now better understand what the macro is actually doing, and at the moment I suspect it might be the same problem as here: I'll wait for a fix, and if it still won't work, I try it with traitor, which

Trying to get "interfaced" to run with latest nim

/test_expanded.nim> This compiles fine (`nim --run compile test_expanded.nim`). But if I try to compile the original test (`nim --run compile test`), I get this error: `/home/sei/git/interfaced/interfaced.nim(54, 20) Error: internal error: environment misses: this` I'm a bit in over my head with this, so hopefully someone here knows how to fix this.

Which Nim Paradigm could I use instead of OOP with Generics and Inheritance?

Hi Beef, thanks a lot for your suggestions! Not sure if want to go down the pointer road, but gooey looks like it is what I need! I'll try and rip out its skeleton so I can adapt it :)

Which Nim Paradigm could I use instead of OOP with Generics and Inheritance?

Hi y'all! I'm working on graphics/ui Library for the fantastic [picostdlib](https://forum.nim-lang.org/postActivity.xml#picostdlib) (actually I'm using the nice [rework](https://forum.nim-lang.org/postActivity.xml#rework)) Right now I'm pondering on how to organize the widgets and make them si

Reuse generic Type of Concept as field Type of another generic Type

Yes it works and looks simple enough, many thanks!

Reuse generic Type of Concept as field Type of another generic Type

Hi y'all! I'm trying to reuse the type `T` of a generic concept `AnyFoo[T]` as a type of a field of another generic `Bar[A: AnyFoo]`, the code looks like this: type AnyFoo[T] = concept foo foo.color is T TheFoo = object color: int Bar[

Using Concepts for abstracting display graphics

Thanks for the handy tutorial, quite a nice color scheme you have there :)

Using Concepts for abstracting display graphics

Ah I see, I looked at the repo a while ago but haven't tried it yet, maybe I should!

Using Concepts for abstracting display graphics

That's quite a lot stuff you have in your repo, I will definitively check it out, thanks!

Using Concepts for abstracting display graphics

Thank you very much, that works perfectly! I've to read about `mixin` though, haven't encountered that so far :)

Using Concepts for abstracting display graphics

Ah thanks! Missed that one entiely, I removed the color argument and now the `disp: AnyDisplay[T]` argument of `drawQuad` is matched correctly. Unfortunately, it still does not compile, and fails to match the first argument of `setPixel`: /home/sei/projects/nimoled/test.nim(50, 5

Using Concepts for abstracting display graphics

Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm afraid that won't quite work for me: This library will only be useful embedded programming, and the difficulty with these kinds of displays is that you can have a variety of color types, such as monochromatic with on byte describing 8 pixels, or 16 bit colo
