Re: Future of Nim ?

2019-05-31 Thread shevegen
Two comments, one about nim, one about C: (1) Whether nim has a future or not depends primarily on active development AND user adoption. The second part can be very difficult, since you have to compete with other languages; and a large user size counts a lot. I know too little about nim to eval

Re: Should we get rid of style insensitivity?

2018-11-21 Thread shevegen
I just read that dom prefers "I want a vote" or "I don't want a vote", but actually I don't really care about the style insensitivity either way. I think many people who dislike it do so largely because they think of it as "impure" for people to have to care about style sensitivity (e. g. you ar

Personally I do not care either way. To me the issue of case sensitivity or not has never been one that existed. For me personally the biggest problem is time :D - however had, past that point, I may wish to be able to use a "sub-dialect" of nim that is more light-weight in syntax. For example,

PS: Can we not edit our own posts? I did want to edit it to clarify what I meant ... but I can not see an edit-button or so. I only see "reply", a heart icon, and the time ... quite strange forum here. Is it written in nim? :) I swear this also changes every some months... :P

AddOns to Nim? (a bit similar to rubygems.org + projects)

2018-10-08 Thread shevegen
Is there a way to get something in Nim similar to rubygems.org? With specific descriptions of projects too? I remember dom96 has had something like that but it was a bit cumbersome to use (e. g. compared to how I use rubygems.org). What I plan to do in the long run is, if addons exist in nim, i

Re: Drop RST and join the Markdown train?

2018-10-08 Thread shevegen
I have no real preference either way, but personally I use Markdown a lot in ruby and also in my local files. I do not even use markdown directly for ruby, but instead have a template ending with .gen, and a ruby script then expands this with more information when I upload a gem in ruby. What

Re: Incredible Nim vs lame rust censorship

2017-01-09 Thread shevegen
I do not feel that the CoC's add anything meaningful or relevant. They are unnecessary in my opinion. It usually is about censorship and "rules to effect censorship". In this context though, while I dislike CoC's, your wording but also your nick is a dead-give away NastyRigger. For some reason
