Is there IDE debugging support for Nim yet (language server?). Or a REPL, Online or off? Thanks

  Both in progress. Language server: https://github.com/nim-lang/langserver https://github.com/nim-lang/langserver https://github.com/nim-lang/langserver/issues/1 https://github.com/nim-lang/langserver/issues/1 As for a REPL, there is already `nim secret`, but there is work being done to create a better interactive environment. https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/8927 https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/8927

  I use Org Babel in Emacs as a "REPL", and an Org Babel package for Nim exists: ob-nim[0], and it's awesome. For folks uninitiated about Org Babel, it allows one to write small code snippets and quickly evaluate the results and have them inserted below. I keep a nim-scratch.org handy to quickly try out new snippets. Unlike traditional REPL's, this approach allows me to keep on saving new snippets and their results too! Here's how it looks: https://i.imgtc.com/FAnay93.png https://i.imgtc.com/FAnay93.png Here's another example: https://i.imgtc.com/xLfiR6p.png https://i.imgtc.com/xLfiR6p.png. The beauty of this approach is that then I can simply export that my blog[1] (you can correlate 1-1 how that screenshot matches with the content on that blog) :).

  Language server is in construction, but you can use gdb with VSCode quite well within the editor.
