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).
<Araq> bbl
(at least the nim package has not)
federico: I would prefer lmdb at first place. I looked at your package but it seems to rely on a c cmp proc. I have a pure nim like:
proc cmp(a, b: string): int
btw @federico3 it would be easier if your lmdb package would compile the c code instead of wrapping the dll like here: https://github.com/NimCompression/nimsnappyc/blob/master/nimsnappyc/snappyc.nim
<adeohluwa> I wonder what Machine Learning looks like in Nim right now
<adeohluwa> Yardanico bless you man!
<federico3> @tim-st: oh interesting
<ipjk> @dom96: I can try, otherwise I make an issue.
<shashlick> @ephja: nim-lang/packages#733
I meant "cannot export foo / extra"
If I move extra.nim in the same dir as foo.nim, and do "export extra", that works
But then nimble install will complain
Taking this as example: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#private-modules,
export foobar/utils will not work.
.. neither does
export "foobar/utils"
<Araq> good night
thanks, that worked:
import foobar/helpers
export helpers
<Yardanico> you can use "push" to apply a pragma to all procs in the module
<bozaloshtsh> I'll try that, thanks
<bozaloshtsh> is push's effect local to the current module or does it affect imported modules?
Trying to build the website locally and some example asserts are failing. Is this a known issue?

<dom96> There is an issue in the Nim repo about it somewhere
@rayman22201 That's a known bug, see the workaround here: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/8032#issuecomment-397086115
.. or you need to move to the east of Greenwich to bypass that bug :P
This is the template:
template defun*(self, fsym, max_args, body: untyped) {.dirty.} = ## \
## emacs_func(env: ptr emacs_env, nargs: ptrdiff_t,
## args: ptr array[0..max_args, emacs_value], data: pointer):
## emacs_value {.exportc.}
## The `fsym` is registered as the name in emacs and also
## be registered in Nim with nimEmacs prefix.
## If you include "_" in the function name, it will be converted "-"
## in Emacs.
static:
self.pushFunction(astToStr(fsym), max_args)
proc `fsym`*(env: ptr emacs_env, nargs: ptrdiff_t,
args: ptr array[0..max_args, emacs_value],
data: pointer): emacs_value {.exportc,extern: "nimEmacs_" & self.libName & "_$1".} =
body
and here is an example use of that:
emacs.defun(return_t, 1):
## Returns ``t``, always.
env.intern(env, "t")
I'd like to capture "Returns
t, always." and save it to a var inside that template defun. I plan to pass that as a new argument to that pushFunction proc.
apathetic coder at your service
