nim-lang/Nim

Nim is a compiled, garbage-collected systems programming language which has an excellent productivity/performance ratio. Nim's design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, elegance (in the order of priority).

<leorize[m]> yea, can't search for it with nim science, probably due to that hash

<leorize[m]> I can fix it real quick

<leorize[m]> renamed it, it should show up next to your room now

does anybody know how I might be able to get the following code snippet to return -1?

var u_word = 0b1111_1111.uint8
echo u_word.int8

Right now I get this: Error: unhandled exception: value out of range: 255 notin -128 .. 127 [RangeDefect]

It seems nim doesn't really do C style casting?

I've more or less got to have this behavior since I'm working on a chip emulator in nim.

@BracketMaster

After some digging - I don't think its possible to do this

Making a functional chip simulator in Nim just got a lot harder
