> good built-in documentation As someone who was a beginner in QBasic, the docs left a _lot_ to be desired, especially the graphics ones. As a teenager, I had a hard time make heads or tails of them. Granted, that isn't to say I w

Just wanted to second the recommendation to build something that already exists first. Like how artists do master studies, or still life, software developers can learn a lot by actually building something that already exists. It helps educa

It depends, to be honest. For me, Love2d, Pyxel Edit and Bosca Ceol have worked well. There are things like music generators to help if you're super slow at music composition like me. Also, having a small scope helps.

It's a mystery to me as well. I didn't post it. I still don't know how it got surfaced. I've not been actively promoting that blog.

For me, I'm seeing compile times averaging around 5-10 seconds, with outlier builds taking up to 40 seconds if the files in question aren't cached. It feels faster than Go, but I think part of that is down to Nim's compile ou

Author of the article here, feel free to ask me anything if you're wanting to understand something about the article, or about Nim. I am not the author of Nim. I also want to point out that Nim does have an IRC channel (#nim) on free

So how did you use globbing on XML? Was there an existing library for it, or did you write your own?

If you can, find a copy of "A Philosophy of Software Design", and read the whole thing. It'll give you a lot of higher level things to think about as you're diving deep into your first tech stack.

ConEmu's performance for TUI apps like vim or weechat+ssh is not great. Not a factor if you don't use those sorts of applications, but a bit of a deal breaker if you do.
