Thank you @amjadBHD Also, someone looking for information about how to setup debugging with SublimeText + lldb may find the following useful: Adding `"preRunCommands": ["command script import --allow-reload PATH_TO/nimlldb.py"]` to an lldb debug configuration does some symbol demangling. Exam

"pre_debug_task" was hanging because "shell_cmd" expects a string and I was passing an array of strings instead. It was easy to find out what was wrong with this task once I figured 'Debugger->Run Task' does report errors on the console. Running the same task as part of starting a debug session

Thanks. I decided to keep them separate, and recommend each plugin from the other. Btw, [LSP-nimlangserver](https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP-nimlangserver) is now on Package Control.

option to disable LSP would be great.

Sublime Text user experience

As someone who uses Sublime text and NimLime with LSP, I am of the opinion that it's safe to merge both plugins as long as there is an option to disable LSP in NimLIme. Thanks for your work btw, it's great to see Sublime getting some love :)

No idea what to answer for your latest question, but seems like I missed one from last year. I did have semantic highlighting planned, but the spec wasn't finalised last time I looked at it. Probably it's more stable now though

Sublime Text user experience

There is now an [LSP-nimlangserver](https://github.com/AmjadHD/LSP-nimlangserver) plugin. Should I publish this on package control or instead merge the plugin with NimLime ? See the [issue](https://github.com/nim-lang/NimLime/issues/185).

Sublime Text user experience

Are you planning to support semantic highlighting in nimLSP ? It is supported in sublimeLSP.

Sublime Text user experience

There's , you're welcomed to test and review.

> Semantic highlighting is in fact better Does it work without causing high CPU load? I tested it some years ago with my NEd editor, only with nimsuggest without lsp, but for nearly all edits there was a lot of nimsuggest traffic generated. I had no idea how I could avoid the traffic, so I stop

Sublime Text user experience

Why though? Semantic highlighting is in fact better than normal syntax definitions, because with semantic highlighting you know the tokens as the compiler sees them, so it's always correct.

Sublime Text user experience

As for sublime there was a lengthy discussion on the ST discord server about semantic highlighting and whether or not sublime should provide API to support it without a final say for now. See also: and

Sublime Text user experience

I don't think semantic highlighting reduces the need for good syntax definitions. But works as a complementary to it.

Sublime Text user experience

There is a proposed extension to LSP to support semantic highlighting. Hopefully that will get officially included someday (the Vim LSP client already supports this, not sure about Sublime). If we implement that into NimLSP then we would have highlighting as well in the same plug-in.

I'm pretty new to Nim, and to be honest - so far, editor support is the biggest gripe I have about the language. The vs-code plugin is unuseable for me because it won't stop repositioning my cursor to where it thinks it should be for some reason. The intellij plugin is not really feature comple

I primarily use sublimetext (with nimlime) and disagree maintaining it is not worth it, it's one of the best editors (nim aside) and quite usable with nim thanks to nimlime, but yes it would benefit more contributors. One of its best features are being lightweight, and its plugin infrastructure

Interesting topic. I am using Sublime myself. What are you guys using?

I use ST with nimlsp and it works great. There's currently only one issue I find critical, it's reported and waiting to be fixed (it's something to do with Windows paths, nothing extraordinary).

This plugin just provides the syntax (grammar), indentation, comments and symbol rules, no python logic included. nimlsp should be used alongside this plugin.

Hint: I didn't even really read your post because whenever certain "red flags" appear (like 'rust', 'go', 'xml') I immediately loose interest and switch off. If however you were to create reasonably good support for Nim in sublime (in C, lua, or python iirc) I'd volunteer to serve as lab rat _(f

It's not about ram it's about speed and responsiveness. As for popularity all editors lost popularity to the multi-million-dollar-company-driven VSCode that M$ provides it for free just because it loves developpers. Anyway this is not the subject of the thread.
