Imo if it uses any uses European, western in general sub-components, like bayraktar drones do, they should be sanctioned, as they most likely were licensed only for civilian use.

Thanks for correcting me, however I consider it an example of double standards. The manhunt for whistleblower Snowden, is according to you justified. The man who revealed the mass surveillance the US is engaged in. Which by itself is beyond

If you disable all runtime checks, like integer overflows, range checks, etc..., stack traces and debug information (-d:danger) it's readable yes.

That's an obscure/not optimal way to write this code though. I mean why would you use LIST comprehension if you are going to yield each element.

nimgrep solves this, you might not like it, but people who have actually tried it are fond of it.

I really don't understand what your requirements are. Again karax is well known and better alternative than all these (i.e loops and other control flow work as expected).

Can Rust deal with linked lists as well? Nim has a cycle collector based on the trial deletion algorithm https://researcher.watson.ibm.com/researcher/files/us-bacon/... It's different than the usual GC a

We have many https://nimble.directory/search?query=template Also karax can also work as on server side, no virtual dom in that scenario. People prefer it because of type checking over string templates.

It was discussed recently: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/7905 > to Swift which can cause memory leaks The Nim compiler can detect cycles and warn you. And --gc:orc collects them successfully at runtime. Orc is going

I just love the new numeric literals syntax: proc `'i128`(n: string): Int128 = parseDecimalInt128(n) assert fib(184) == 127127879743834334146972278486287885163'i128 It's so sexy!

Yeah (rewrite) just the hotpaths like you would with Cython. Also there is https://github.com/Pebaz/Nimporter which makes it easier.

Actually it is possible, Nim compiles to C and is a viable alternative to CPython. nimpy https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy PyGotham talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVgNVJdizHg another blog post:

As a Nim user, I keep being motivated because it keeps evolving (like getting a new async implementation based on CPS, incremental compilation, destructors based stdlib), its easy to start using but can accommodate a multitude of use cases

That's just misinformation. The tutorials and manual existed long before Nim in Action was published and was the two pieces of information I learned Nim. I also looked at https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/nim/

I have used them in another language and in practise, itsnt really a useful feature. Say you implement a fixed point type or a matrix, more often than not you end up needing arithmetic ops between different "resolutions" or matrix

eh, I don't partake in the usual "actually my language is better than your language" that comes up in all posts. I just don't like people going overboard with their claims, when they try to promote any PL really, and wou
