i'd say so: i think many rails/django concepts are translate-able to metaprogramming in nim, not always with the same idioms, but usually there is a way to do it, and you can typecheck some things

But industrializing fast just gets you to one point: two problems with that in Bulgaria. First: yeah, this was a good thing .. until technology moved forward which was very hard to replicate in plan economies.. in Bulgaria hard industry and

Listen, I like your enthusiasm: I really want to show you the other side of the story: I know that what one hears from relatives/favorite ideologs makes some things very hard to swallow. However you should search for the truth and in t

Also, if you're talking about Romania: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s_austerity_policy_in_Roma... seems true: my own father passed through there in the 80s as a part of an army exercise, local people needed

Yeah mate, you can tell that stuff to westerners, but not to local people, sorry: Bulgaria and Romania were a victim of this cultish insane "system" for ~45 years, not anymore. And closing one's eyes for communist atrocities

many modern languages have macros: rust, crystal, elixir, nim not very corporate though, but getting there? with rust(mozilla a bit and others)

you can try cligen and then argparse https://github.com/iffy/nim-argparse

it should work on nim source level as well: if there are any problems ,that's a bug,so please report it. (disclaimer: me & my partner also work on a bit more advanced commercial debugger environment which also targets nim, so I gue

i know an actual person who was hired to work on compilers/lang design there, so it's not out of the question, but it might require some kind of involvement with the language/community before that (if there are any open slots

so show this as a hint in the UI :) people can still solve problems better than machines often

and you can do it in a rr trace on linux I think if its hard to reproduce which sometimes happen with similar programs

overally if you write an os you need to write your malloc/free .. and then you should be able (i think..) to use many of the gc-s anyway and more of stdlib. But you can also think of Nim as macro-able higher level C and write it like t

by alehander42 7y ago
overally i think for small os-es you can write easily a micro libc core in C or even in Nim where you define malloc/free etc and just use them directly as in C and zig. otherwise you should be able to use something like destructors eve

you're right, it is confusing, but it is optional: some toy kernels already work in nim , and with latest work on memory, you should be able to use most of the language for kernel development ! not the perfect language for that yet tho

Well, this is very subjective, and I am afraid if many people with <X> agenda are reading a <Y> thread, its very easy to have flagged sensible(potentially interesting) comments not because of intellectual value, but because they

Great reference! But I feel that's not exactly what Ecclesiastes means .. because it seems you ignore the context and the rest of the Bible in this hypothesis: meaningless, vanity, this is what life without God, life focused only on th

by alehander42 7y ago
but this still doesnt make much sense: if you just count your spare time normally, you can still get 4-4.5x (and probably more) than your usual pay .. honestly 4x or 5x matters less than normal time I've also had similar contract once

by alehander42 7y ago
But is it really a vacation, if you MUST work in the hotel room often? (not just rarely) Losing pay isn't so important at all, if you have enough for your family, and your pay shouldn't depend on taking merely 20-30 days vacation

by alehander42 7y ago
Mate, life, mental health and time with your family is much much much much much much much much much much much more important than a particular job and work. I am not kidding by pasting `much` so many times, please try to look this from a co

People shouldn't turn work into an idol! Work itself has no inherent moral value and workaholism can be more dangerous than many other addictions. Life isn't meaningless, I hope you can see things differently soon enough :)

Why is this comment flagged? Is antifa having its own segment/talks? this would be very useful to know, as they're indeed an extremely radical organization(you can have left views and not resort to anything resembling that IMO)

Algebraic data types are everywhere in Nim code: they are just called case objects(and they do have some differences compared to e.g. haskell, but often they are used in a similar way) There is also https://github.com/krux02
