That's really petty argument against nim and it makes me sad really. 'Hostile' fork isn't true, just a fork. I wish you the best.

That issue is about readLine specifically right? Not reading a file in general. The only time I get to ever use readLine is to solve adventofcode problems.

A borrow-checker isn't the most practical or the only way to provide safety. For example, a string type can have an offset for creating O(1) string slices and point to a shared counter. That way when mutating the string, it creates a f

My problem with rust, is that community is overzealous to promote their language, even in the cost of spreading lies and misinformation and harassment. I was routinely attacked by anonymous accounts. The common thing they say is people usin

Its not an actual issue, it is the projected experience of another language and/or IDE/ tooling. Fyi the newest GitHub ignore case. But I have been using grep with nim code daily and it was not an issue.

No one is against Python developers, you're clearly exaggerating, I would ask for a source but we both know it doesn't exist. What people try to convey the whole time to people coming from python, which I was years ago, is that ni

> It's apparent from the RFC discussion that there is no consensus on the topic. That's your take? I can see a couple of actual nim users complaining, the rest are some randos that tried to derail any productive discussion with

Thank you, makes a lot of sense. I was working on a structure aware fuzzer, and needed to know if there are even projects out there that don't use some form of grammar to produce output.

Downvoted for a question, people these days...

I assume that the random trace generator produce structured output and not random garbage that's rejected most of the time, right?

Grow up a little. Your racism stems from your governments vile propaganda against the Greek people themselves IN ORDER TO GET PEOPLES CONSENSUS ON THE EXTREME AUSTERITY THEY IMPOSED ON GREEKS. αντε μαλακα

Next time an invading force in your country, murders all civilians, starves the rest to death, maybe you'll have different opinion. Greece has the highest death toll on WW2 in normalized to the total population.

You couldn't have found a worst article than that. You've actually disproved your own point. > Greece does actually work the longest hours in Europe, as this graphic of OECD data shows.

Nim has a scientific community https://github.com/SciNim which host many science related packages like plotting and nd arrays.

I have bad experience interacting with members of the rust community. Biggest issue is that they don't keep their opinions to themselves and frankly make everyone misserable with their "join us now, you must" mentality.

I have the book, and it's an excellent resource for the language. I might be a little biased because I am a long time Nim user but definitely so are you.

Can you explain to us what's the bigger problem we should be addressing according to your opinion sir?

Hey I do, and report bugs which eventually are all getting fixed. Besides me (who's that guy anyway) there are a lot more experienced programmers who have built amazing things with Nim. Arraymancer, a deep learning library comes to min

Great read, totally agree on the last point. Hope Nim gains more traction.

Meanwhile Nim achieves similar results with a fraction of the cost. And less braindead fanfare.

Mind explaining why algebraic types are better? than cased objects and why a limitation in the fields iterator, that prevents `==` to be automatically lifted, is connected to that?

object variants are more flexible than enum types so what you see as a limitation others don't.
