Nim

Inspired by a tweet from a fellow developer, I decided to take a look at Karax, a nifty framework for developing single page applications in Nim. After following the basic tutorials and examples, I searched for something more complex and found very sparse documentation, so I’ll write my findings here. As usual, the complete source code is on my github repo, where you can find also a working live demo. In this example I wanted to experiment with the component pattern, and create a stateful module that can be reused. So I modeled a nim clock object, here the source: ...

Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. It’s Efficient, expressive, elegant and definitely worth to check. While I was playing with it, I stumbled upon an interesting module that allows almost seamless interoperability betweeen Nim and Python; so I’m building a small proof of concept on this github project. first of all the Nim code: # file: demo.nim - file name should match the module name you're going to import from python import nimpy import unicode proc greet(name: string): string {.exportpy.} = return "Hello, " & name & "!" proc count(names: seq[string]): int {.exportpy.} = return names.len proc lowercase(names: seq[string]): seq[string] {.exportpy.} = for n in names: result.add tolower(n) ...
