I have no idea if Araq has any children but I suspect he would leave any legacy
for them. I think this is how much he hates inheritance.
On my own behalf, I dont care much, selfishly, if it is methods or
vtables/interfaces as long as it will support some kind of polymorphism because

Definitely, obviously. I could implement Spry in plain C - if I wanted to write

Note, bitops module was provided by Mr Parashurama some months ago:

Ok, sorry, I mistakenly thought it was obvious that I meant that I use methods
in the Spry implementation (Spry is written in Nim). But reading what I wrote I
can understand it wasn't clear. The original "obviously" was referring to the
fact that since Spry code is dynamic it leads to a lot of

Do you mean, you use them whilst coding in Spry, or while coding the Spry
interpreter? Certainly in a Smalltalk like language, or in Java, you'll use
methods a lot, as there aren't other options.

In [Spry](http://sprylang.org) I use methods a lot, obviously, since Spry is
dynamically typed. I think I use multimethods only a tad, for things like plus,
minus etc to properly dispatch on combinations of integers and floats. But
nothing that you couldn't solve using a bit of conditionals or

Agreed on documentation. The VTable section of the manual is short, and there's
no tutorial. IMO it would

If you do, you may consider put some words into documentation what to do to
achieve similar behaviour because there is quite a lot of people that are
comfortable with that

Ahhh damn, I thought you'd go for the first option and add the feature soon
I'm really happy to read that **method** is on the chopping block. If it's any
consolation, I think it was a bold and promising experiment, and even if it was
a mistake

This is a big deal for me. I do a lot of web backend work, and this macro will
make my life so much easier. I've been playing around with Mongodb recently,
and I can see this particular macro massively simplifying my code.

Yeah sorry about that,
Congratulations!
Also bitops module (very useful) added.
First, congratulations! This is a really good release, I've been waiting for
Nim concepts.

They're not in the compiler sources at all. This section should be removed from
the manual, or the
I am eager to try it!
Cool ! Awesome and nice job !!
congrats! How can I activate the VTable types described in the manual
[https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#generics-vtable-types](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#generics-vtable-types)
? I tried thy example from the manual but the compiler complains about
undeclared identifier vtref.
Yay!
When can we expect docker image to be updated?
Thanks.
Congratulations, lots of fixes and sensible additions. World domination is
inevitable.
congrats!
Hooray, nimers!
> Yes, all the concepts enhancements made it into this release!
Could you (or Zahary) please give a short overview of the concept improvements
in 0.17.0?
Congratulations!
It's one of those days ...
