When using the import statement, how/where does Nim perform its search for modules? I know that file paths can be used, but if I don't want to use a file path, where would I put the module I defin...

I've been experimenting with Nim for about a day now and I was wondering how you could make a type inherit from a builtin (seq specifically) so that procedures that operate on seq can also handle t...

I would like to specify a sequence directly from a slice (rather than iterating through the slice and adding each element individually to the sequence). I've tried a few different ways but the obvi...

I have a C++ type like: template <typename T> class Vector { struct Iterator { }; }; And in C++ I can use Iterator as Vector<int>::Iterator. How do I wrap this to use it from Nim?...

Compiling a Nim program with nim c -r example.nim creates the output file example. I would like to create an output file in another folder with the name bin/example.o which is much easier to gitign...

I'm having issues passing math functions (procs) in Nim (version 0.10.2). import math var s1 = @[1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4] var s2 = map(s1, math.sqrt) I get the error Error: 'sqrt' cannot be passed ...

I'm planning a project with multiple modules, and I was looking for a nice solution to run all existing unit tests in the project at once. I came up with the following idea: I can run nim --define:...

Just started programming in the Nim language (which I really like so far). As a learning exercise I am writing a small matrix library. I have a bunch more code, but I'll just show the part that's r...

I'm puzzled by the following observation. On the one hand, this works: for i in 5..10: echo i But as soon as I store the slice in a variable, I can no longer iterate over it, i.e., this fails: ...

From what I understand, strings in Nim are basically a mutable sequence of bytes and that they are copied on assignment. Given that, I assumed that sizeof would tell me (like len) the number of by...

I am trying to make a simple use of typeclasses in Nim. Please, keep in mind that I only have been using Nim since this morning, so I may have been doing something stupid. Anyway, I would like to ...

Is it possible to use function pointers in Nimrod? What I've tried is: type fptr = (proc(int):int) proc f(x:int): int = result = x+1 var myf : fptr = f echo myf(0) but when I try to compil...

NOTE: I am not asking about difference between pointer and reference, and for this question it is completely irrelevant. One thing I couldn't find explicitly stated -- what model does Nim use? Li...

I found this project on GitHub; it was the only search term returned for "nimrod matrix". I took the bare bones of it and changed it a little bit so that it compiled without errors, and then I adde...

Going through the second part of Nimrod's tutorial I've reached the part were macros are explained. The documentation says they run at compile time, so I thought I could do some parsing of strings ...

today I did ask in D mailing list whether it's possible to define and use custom data types in a way similar to e.g. example from Ada's wiki page: type Day_type is range 1 .. 31; type Month_type i...

I am toying with nim (at the time of writing still called nimrod), by writing a Brainfuck interpreter in the language. Without loops implemented, I have: import os, unsigned const RamSize = 200 ...
