Can we realistically expect a competent, officially supported REPL for Nim over time? I would be immediately sold if this otherwise very promising looking language could remove this obstacle.
- TylerE 11y agoWhat's wrong with `nim i`? That's a repl, and it's hardly possible to get more official than that
- perturbation 11y agoIt's been removed* - provided a bad UX for people coming into Nim since it doesn't support C extensions / importing of modules that use C extensions, which can be a fair bit. If you try to use them regardless, it's easy to crash the REPL. * It's not entirely removed, just obfuscated so that if needed it can be still used as long as you "know what you're doing" and are willing to put up with it not being a general purpose REPL. Use nim secret to run it.
- pathsjs 11y agoI certainly hope so. It is of course the biggest missing element in sight, but I do not think we will see anything before 1.0 comes out
