The Asynchronous IO API has been designed to -take advantage of Linux's epoll and Windows' IOCP APIs, support for BSD's -kqueue has not been implemented yet but will be in the future. -The Asynchronous IO API provides both -a callback interface and an interface which allows you to write code as you -would if you were writing synchronous code. The latter is done through -the use of an ``await`` macro which behaves similar to C#'s await. The -following is a very simple chat server demonstrating Nimrod's new async -capabilities. - -.. code-block::nim - import asyncnet, asyncdispatch - - var clients: seq[PAsyncSocket] = @[] - - proc processClient(client: PAsyncSocket) {.async.} = - while true: - let line = await client.recvLine() - for c in clients: - await c.send(line & "\c\L") - - proc serve() {.async.} = - var server = newAsyncSocket() - server.bindAddr(TPort(12345)) - server.listen() - - while true: - let client = await server.accept() - clients.add client - - processClient(client) - - serve() - runForever() - - -Note that this feature has been implemented with Nimrod's macro system and so -``await`` and ``async`` are no keywords. - -Syntactic sugar for anonymous procedures has also been introduced. It too has -been implemented as a macro. The following shows some simple usage of the new -syntax: - -.. code-block::nim - import future - - var s = @[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] - echo(s.map((x: int) => x * 5)) - -A list of changes follows, for a comprehensive list of changes take a look -`here <https://github.com/Araq/Nimrod/compare/v0.9.2...v0.9.4>`_. - -Library Additions ------------------ - -- Added ``macros.genSym`` builtin for AST generation. -- Added ``macros.newLit`` procs for easier AST generation. -- Added module ``logging``. -- Added module ``asyncdispatch``. -- Added module ``asyncnet``. -- Added module ``net``. -- Added module ``rawsockets``. -- Added module ``selectors``. -- Added module ``asynchttpserver``. -- Added support for the new asynchronous IO in the ``httpclient`` module. -- Added a Python-inspired ``future`` module that features upcoming additions - to the ``system`` module. - - -Changes affecting backwards compatibility ------------------------------------------ - -- The scoping rules for the ``if`` statement changed for better interaction - with the new syntactic construct ``(;)``. -- ``OSError`` family of procedures has been deprecated. Procedures with the same - name but which take different parameters have been introduced. These procs now - require an error code to be passed to them. This error code can be retrieved - using the new ``OSLastError`` proc. -- ``os.parentDir`` now returns "" if there is no parent dir. -- In CGI scripts stacktraces are shown to the user only - if ``cgi.setStackTraceStdout`` is used. -- The symbol binding rules for clean templates changed: ``bind`` for any - symbol that's not a parameter is now the default. ``mixin`` can be used - to require instantiation scope for a symbol. -- ``quoteIfContainsWhite`` now escapes argument in such way that it can be safely - passed to shell, instead of just adding double quotes. -- ``macros.dumpTree`` and ``macros.dumpLisp`` have been made ``immediate``, - ``dumpTreeImm`` and ``dumpLispImm`` are now deprecated. -- The ``nil`` statement has been deprecated, use an empty ``discard`` instead. -- ``sockets.select`` now prunes sockets that are **not** ready from the list - of sockets given to it. -- The ``noStackFrame`` pragma has been renamed to ``asmNoStackFrame`` to - ensure you only use it when you know what you're doing. -- Many of the wrappers that were present in the standard library have been - moved to separate repositories and should now be installed using Babel. - - -Compiler Additions ------------------- - -- The compiler can now warn about "uninitialized" variables. (There are no - real uninitialized variables in Nimrod as they are initialized to binary - zero). Activate via ``{.warning[Uninit]:on.}``. -- The compiler now enforces the ``not nil`` constraint. -- The compiler now supports a ``codegenDecl`` pragma for even more control - over the generated code. -- The compiler now supports a ``computedGoto`` pragma to support very fast - dispatching for interpreters and the like. -- The old evaluation engine has been replaced by a proper register based - virtual machine. This fixes numerous bugs for ``nimrod i`` and for macro - evaluation. -- ``--gc:none`` produces warnings when code uses the GC. -- A ``union`` pragma for better C interoperability is now supported. -- A ``packed`` pragma to control the memory packing/alignment of fields in - an object. -- Arrays can be annotated to be ``unchecked`` for easier low level - manipulations of memory. -- Support for the new Babel package manager. - - -Language Additions ------------------- - -- Arrays can now be declared with a single integer literal ``N`` instead of a - range; the range is then ``0..N-1``. -- Added ``requiresInit`` pragma to enforce explicit initialization. -- Exported templates are allowed to access hidden fields. -- The ``using statement`` enables you to more easily author domain-specific - languages and libraries providing OOP-like syntactic sugar. -- Added the possibility to override various dot operators in order to handle - calls to missing procs and reads from undeclared fields at compile-time. -- The overload resolution now supports ``static[T]`` params that must be - evaluable at compile-time. -- Support for user-defined type classes has been added. -- The *command syntax* is supported in a lot more contexts. -- Anonymous iterators are now supported and iterators can capture variables - of an outer proc. -- The experimental ``strongSpaces`` parsing mode has been implemented. -- You can annotate pointer types with regions for increased type safety. -- Added support for the builtin ``spawn`` for easy thread pool usage. - - -Tools improvements ------------------- - -- c2nim can deal with a subset of C++.

Version 0.10.2 contains many language -changes, some of which may break your existing code. For your convenience, we -added a new tool called `nimfix <nimfix.html>`_ that will help you convert your -existing projects so that it works with the latest version of the compiler. - -Progress towards version 1.0 -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Although Nim is still pre-1.0, we were able to keep the number of breaking -changes to a minimum so far. Starting with version 1.0, we will not introduce -any breaking changes between major release versions. -One of Nim's goals is to ensure that the compiler is as efficient as possible. -Take a look at the -`latest benchmarks <https://github.com/logicchains/LPATHBench/blob/master/writeup.md>`_, -which show that Nim is consistently near -the top and already nearly as fast as C and C++. Recent developments, such as -the new ``asyncdispatch`` module will allow you to write efficient web server -applications using non-blocking code. Nim now also has a built-in thread pool -for lightweight threading through the use of ``spawn``. - -The unpopular "T" and "P" prefixes on types have been deprecated. Nim also -became more expressive by weakening the distinction between statements and -expressions. We also added a new and searchable forum, a new website, and our -documentation generator ``docgen`` has seen major improvements. Many thanks to -Nick Greenfield for the much more beautiful documentation! - - - -What's left to be done -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The 1.0 release is actually very close. Apart from bug fixes, there are -two major features missing or incomplete: - -* ``static[T]`` needs to be defined precisely and the bugs in the - implementation need to be fixed. -* Overloading of the assignment operator is required for some generic - containers and needs to be implemented. - -This means that fancy matrix libraries will finally start to work, which used -to be a major point of pain in the language. - - -Nimble and other Nim tools -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Outside of the language and the compiler itself many Nim tools have seen -considerable improvements. - -Babel the Nim package manager has been renamed to Nimble. Nimble's purpose -is the installation of packages containing libraries and/or applications -written in Nim. -Even though Nimble is still very young it already is very -functional. It can install packages by name, it does so by accessing a -packages repository which is hosted on a GitHub repo. Packages can also be -installed via a Git repo URL or Mercurial repo URL. The package repository -is searchable through Nimble. Anyone is free to add their own packages to -the package repository by forking the -`nim-lang/packages <https://github.com/nim-lang/packages>`_ repo and creating -a pull request. Nimble is fully cross-platform and should be fully functional -on all major operating systems. -It is of course completely written in Nim. - -Changelog -~~~~~~~~~ - -Changes affecting backwards compatibility ------------------------------------------ - -- **The language has been renamed from Nimrod to Nim.** The name of the - compiler changed from ``nimrod`` to ``nim`` too. -- ``system.fileHandle`` has been renamed to ``system.getFileHandle`` to - prevent name conflicts with the new type ``FileHandle``. -- Comments are now not part of the AST anymore, as such you cannot use them - in place of ``discard``. -- Large parts of the stdlib got rid of the T/P type prefixes. Instead most - types now simply start with an uppercased letter. The - so called "partial case sensitivity" rule is now active allowing for code - like ``var foo: Foo`` in more contexts. -- String case (or any non-ordinal case) statements - without 'else' are deprecated. -- Recursive tuple types are not allowed anymore. Use ``object`` instead. -- The PEGS module returns ``nil`` instead of ``""`` when an optional capture - fails to match. -- The re module returns ``nil`` instead of ``""`` when an optional capture - fails to match. -- The "symmetric set difference" operator (``-+-``) never worked and has been - removed. -- ``defer`` is a keyword now. -- ``func`` is a keyword now. -- The ``using`` language feature now needs to be activated via the new - ``{.experimental.}`` pragma that enables experimental language features. -- Destructors are now officially *experimental*. -- Standalone ``except`` and ``finally`` statements are deprecated now. - The standalone ``finally`` can be replaced with ``defer``, - standalone ``except`` requires an explicit ``try``. -- Operators ending in ``>`` are considered as "arrow like" and have their - own priority level and are right associative. This means that - the ``=>`` and ``->`` operators from the `future <future.html>`_ module - work better. -- Field names in tuples are now ignored for type comparisons. This allows - for greater interoperability between different modules. -- Statement lists are not converted to an implicit ``do`` block anymore. This - means the confusing ``nnkDo`` nodes when working with macros are gone for - good. - - -Language Additions ------------------- - -- The new concurrency model has been implemented including ``locks`` sections, - lock levels and object field ``guards``. -- The ``parallel`` statement has been implemented. -- ``deepCopy`` has been added to the language. -- The builtin ``procCall`` can be used to get ``super``-like functionality - for multi methods. -- There is a new pragma ``{.experimental.}`` that enables experimental - language features per module, or you can enable these features on a global - level with the ``--experimental`` command line option. - - -Compiler Additions ------------------- - -- The compiler now supports *mixed* Objective C / C++ / C code generation: - The modules that use ``importCpp`` or ``importObjc`` are compiled to C++ - or Objective C code, any other module is compiled to C code. This - improves interoperability. -- There is a new ``parallel`` statement for safe fork&join parallel computing. -- ``guard`` and ``lock`` pragmas have been implemented to support safer - concurrent programming. -- The following procs are now available at compile-time:: - - math.sqrt, math.ln, math.log10, math.log2, math.exp, math.round, - math.arccos, math.arcsin, math.arctan, math.arctan2, math.cos, - math.cosh, math.hypot, math.sinh, math.sin, math.tan, math.tanh, - math.pow, math.trunc, math.floor, math.ceil, math.fmod, - os.getEnv, os.existsEnv, os.dirExists, os.fileExists, - system.writeFile - -- Two backticks now produce a single backtick within an ``emit`` or ``asm`` - statement. -- There is a new tool, `nimfix <nimfix.html>`_ to help you in updating your - code from Nimrod to Nim. -- The compiler's output has been prettified. - -Library Additions ------------------ - -- Added module ``fenv`` to control the handling of floating-point rounding and - exceptions (overflow, division by zero, etc.). -- ``system.setupForeignThreadGc`` can be used for better interaction with - foreign libraries that create threads and run a Nim callback from these - foreign threads. -- List comprehensions have been implemented as a macro in the ``future`` - module. -- The new Async module (``asyncnet``) now supports SSL. -- The ``smtp`` module now has an async implementation. -- Added module ``asyncfile`` which implements asynchronous file reading - and writing. -- ``osproc.kill`` has been added. -- ``asyncnet`` and ``asynchttpserver`` now support ``SO_REUSEADDR``. - -Bugfixes --------- - -- ``nil`` and ``NULL`` are now preserved between Nim and databases in the - ``db_*`` modules. -- Fixed issue with OS module in non-unicode mode on Windows. -- Fixed issue with ``x.low`` - (`#1366 <https://github.com/Araq/Nim/issues/1366>`_). -- Fixed tuple unpacking issue inside closure iterators - (`#1067 <https://github.com/Araq/Nim/issues/1067>`_). -- Fixed ENDB compilation issues. -- Many ``asynchttpserver`` fixes. -- Macros can now keep global state across macro calls - (`#903 <https://github.com/Araq/Nim/issues/903>`_). -- ``osproc`` fixes on Windows. -- ``osproc.terminate`` fixed. -- Improvements to exception handling in async procedures. - (`#1487 <https://github.com/Araq/Nim/issues/1487>`_). -- ``try`` now works at compile-time. -- Fixes ``T = ref T`` to be an illegal recursive type. -- Self imports are now disallowed. -- Improved effect inference. -- Fixes for the ``math`` module on Windows. -- User defined pragmas will now work for generics that have - been instantiated in different modules. -- Fixed queue exhaustion bug. -- Many, many more. diff --git a/web/news/e014_version_0_11_0.rst b/web/news/e014_version_0_11_0.rst deleted file mode 100644 index a8a58f2ae..000000000 --- a/web/news/e014_version_0_11_0.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,396 +0,0 @@ -Version 0.11.0 released -======================= - -.. container:: metadata - - Posted by Dominik Picheta on 30/04/2015 - -With this release we are one step closer to reaching version 1.0 and by -extension the persistence of the Nim specification.

This can break - templates though that used to rely on the fact that they are not. - (Bug #1915.)

Examples of operators still considered arrow like: - ``->``, ``==>``, ``+=>``. On the other hand, the following operators are now - considered regular operators again: ``|>``, ``-+>``, etc. -- Typeless parameters are now only allowed in templates and macros. The old - way turned out to be too error-prone. -- The 'addr' and 'type' operators are now parsed as unary function - application. This means ``type(x).name`` is now parsed as ``(type(x)).name`` - and not as ``type((x).name)``. Note that this also affects the AST - structure; for immediate macro parameters ``nkCall('addr', 'x')`` is - produced instead of ``nkAddr('x')``. -- ``concept`` is now a keyword and is used instead of ``generic``. -- The ``inc``, ``dec``, ``+=``, ``-=`` builtins now produce OverflowError - exceptions. This means code like the following: - -.. code-block:: nim - var x = low(T) - while x <= high(T): - echo x - inc x - -Needs to be replaced by something like this: - -.. code-block:: nim - var x = low(T).int - while x <= high(T).int: - echo x.T - inc x - -- **Negative indexing for slicing does not work anymore!** Instead - of ``a[0.. -1]`` you can - use ``a[0.. ^1]``. This also works with accessing a single - element ``a[^1]``. Note that we cannot detect this reliably as it is - determined at **runtime** whether negative indexing is used! - ``a[0.. -1]`` now produces the empty string/sequence. -- The compiler now warns about code like ``foo +=1`` which uses inconsistent - spacing around binary operators. Later versions of the language will parse - these as unary operators instead so that ``echo $foo`` finally can do what - people expect it to do. -- ``system.untyped`` and ``system.typed`` have been introduced as aliases - for ``expr`` and ``stmt``. The new names capture the semantics much better - and most likely ``expr`` and ``stmt`` will be deprecated in favor of the - new names. -- The ``split`` method in module ``re`` has changed. It now handles the case - of matches having a length of 0, and empty strings being yielded from the - iterator. A notable change might be that a pattern being matched at the - beginning and end of a string, will result in an empty string being produced - at the start and the end of the iterator. -- The compiler and nimsuggest now count columns starting with 1, not 0 for - consistency with the rest of the world. - - -Language Additions ------------------- - -- For empty ``case object`` branches ``discard`` can finally be used instead - of ``nil``. -- Automatic dereferencing is now done for the first argument of a routine - call if overloading resolution produces no match otherwise. This feature - has to be enabled with - the `experimental <0.11.0/manual.html#pragmas-experimental-pragma>`_ pragma. -- Objects that do not use inheritance nor ``case`` can be put into ``const`` - sections. This means that finally this is possible and produces rather - nice code: - -.. code-block:: nim - import tables - - const - foo = {"ah": "finally", "this": "is", "possible.": "nice!"}.toTable() - - -- Ordinary parameters can follow after a varargs parameter. This means the - following is finally accepted by the compiler: - -.. code-block:: nim - template takesBlock(a, b: int, x: varargs[expr]; blck: stmt) = - blck - echo a, b - - takesBlock 1, 2, "some", 0.90, "random stuff": - echo "yay" - -- Overloading by 'var T' is now finally possible: - -.. code-block:: nim - proc varOrConst(x: var int) = echo "var" - proc varOrConst(x: int) = echo "const" - - var x: int - varOrConst(x) # "var" - varOrConst(45) # "const" - -- Array and seq indexing can now use the builtin ``^`` operator to access - things from backwards: ``a[^1]`` is like Python's ``a[-1]``. -- A first version of the specification and implementation of the overloading - of the assignment operator has arrived! -- ``system.len`` for strings and sequences now returns 0 for nil. - -- A single underscore can now be used to discard values when unpacking tuples: - -.. code-block:: nim - let (path, _, _) = os.splitFile("path/file.ext") - - -- ``marshal.$$`` and ``marshal.to`` can be executed at compile-time. -- Interoperability with C++ improved tremendously; C++'s templates and - operators can be wrapped directly. See - `this <0.11.0/nimc.html#additional-features-importcpp-pragma>`_ - for more information. -- ``macros.getType`` can be used to query an AST's type at compile-time. This - enables more powerful macros, for instance *currying* can now be done with - a macro. - - -Library additions ------------------ - -- ``reversed`` proc added to the ``unicode`` module. -- Added multipart param to httpclient's ``post`` and ``postContent`` together - with a ``newMultipartData`` proc. -- Added `%*` operator for JSON. -- The compiler is now available as Nimble package for c2nim. -- Added ``..^`` and ``..<`` templates to system so that the rather annoying - space between ``.. <`` and ``.. ^`` is not necessary anymore. -- Added ``system.xlen`` for strings and sequences to get back the old ``len`` - operation that doesn't check for ``nil`` for efficiency. -- Added sexp.nim to parse and generate sexp. -

This has been a long time coming as the last release has been -made over 5 months ago! - -This release includes some changes which affect backwards compatibility, -one major change is that now the hash table ``[]`` operators now raise a -``KeyError`` exception when the key does not exist. - -Some of the more exciting new features include: the ability to unpack tuples -in any assignment context, the introduction of `NimScript <docs/nims.html>`_, -and improvements to the type inference of lambdas. - -There are of course many many many bug fixes included with this release. -We are getting closer and closer to a 1.0 release and are hoping that only -a few 0.x releases will be necessary before we are happy to release version 1.0. - -As always you can download the latest version of Nim from the -`download <download.html>`_ page. - -For a more detailed list of changes look below. Some of the upcoming breaking -changes are also documented in this forum -`thread <http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/1708>`_. - -Changes affecting backwards compatibility ------------------------------------------ -- The regular expression modules, ``re`` and ``nre`` now depend on version - 8.36 of PCRE. If you have an older version you may see a message similar - to ``could not import: pcre_free_study`` output when you start your - program. See `this issue <https://github.com/docopt/docopt.nim/issues/13>`_ - for more information. -- ``tables.[]``, ``strtabs.[]``, ``critbits.[]`` **now raise** - the ``KeyError`` **exception when the key does not exist**! Use the - new ``getOrDefault`` instead to get the old behaviour. Compile all your - code with ``-d:nimTableGet`` to get a listing of where your code - uses ``[]``! -- The ``rawsockets`` module has been renamed to ``nativesockets`` to avoid - confusion with TCP/IP raw sockets, so ``newNativeSocket`` should be used - instead of ``newRawSocket``. -- The ``miliseconds`` property of ``times.TimeInterval`` is now ``milliseconds``. - Code accessing that property is deprecated and code using ``miliseconds`` - during object initialization or as a named parameter of ``initInterval()`` - will need to be updated. -- ``std.logging`` functions no longer do formatting and semantically treat - their arguments just like ``echo`` does. Affected functions: ``log``, - ``debug``, ``info``, ``warn``, ``error``, ``fatal``. Custom subtypes of - ``Logger`` also need to be adjusted accordingly. -- Floating point numbers can now look like ``2d`` (float64) - and ``2f`` (float32) which means imports like ``import scene/2d/sprite`` - do not work anymore. Instead quotes have to be - used: ``import "scene/2d/sprite"``. The former code never was valid Nim. -- The Windows API wrapper (``windows.nim``) is now not part of the official - distribution anymore. Instead use the ``oldwinapi`` Nimble package. -- There is now a clear distinction between ``--os:standalone`` - and ``--gc:none``. So if you use ``--os:standalone`` ensure you also use - ``--gc:none``. ``--os:standalone`` without ``--gc:none`` is now a version - that doesn't depend on any OS but includes the GC. However this version - is currently untested! -- All procedures which construct a ``Socket``/``AsyncSocket`` now need to - specify the socket domain, type and protocol. The param name - ``typ: SockType`` (in ``newSocket``/``newAsyncSocket`` procs) was also - renamed to ``sockType``. The param ``af`` in the ``connect`` procs was - removed. This affects ``asyncnet``, ``asyncdispatch``, ``net``, and - ``rawsockets``. -- ``varargs[typed]`` and ``varargs[untyped]`` have been refined and now work - as expected. However ``varargs[untyped]`` is not an alias anymore for - ``varargs[expr]``. So if your code breaks for ``varargs[untyped]``, use - ``varargs[expr]`` instead. The same applies to ``varargs[typed]`` vs - ``varargs[stmt]``. -- ``sequtils.delete`` doesn't take confusing default arguments anymore. -- ``system.free`` was an error-prone alias to ``system.dealloc`` and has - been removed. -- ``macros.high`` never worked and the manual says ``high`` cannot be - overloaded, so we removed it with no deprecation cycle. -- To use the ``parallel`` statement you now have to - use the ``--experimental`` mode. -- Toplevel procs of calling convention ``closure`` never worked reliably - and are now deprecated and will be removed from the language. Instead you - have to insert type conversions - like ``(proc (a, b: int) {.closure.})(myToplevelProc)`` if necessary. -- The modules ``libffi``, ``sdl``, ``windows``, ``zipfiles``, ``libzip``, - ``zlib``, ``zzip``, ``dialogs``, ``expat``, ``graphics``, ``libcurl``, - ``sphinx`` have been moved out of the stdlib and are Nimble packages now. -- The constant fights between 32 and 64 bit DLLs on Windows have been put to - an end: The standard distribution now ships with 32 and 64 bit versions - of all the DLLs the standard library needs. This means that the following - DLLs are now split into 32 and 64 versions: - - * ``pcre.dll``: Split into ``pcre32.dll`` and ``pcre64.dll``. - * ``pdcurses.dll``: Split into ``pdcurses32.dll`` and ``pdcurses64.dll``. - * ``sqlite3.dll``: Split into ``sqlite3_32.dll`` and ``sqlite3_64.dll``. - * ``ssleay32.dll``: Split into ``ssleay32.dll`` and ``ssleay64.dll``. - * ``libeay32.dll``: Split into ``libeay32.dll`` and ``libeay64.dll``. - - Compile with ``-d:nimOldDLLs`` to make the stdlib use the old DLL names. -- Nim VM now treats objects as ``nkObjConstr`` nodes, and not ``nkPar`` nodes - as it was previously. Macros that generate ``nkPar`` nodes when object is - expected are likely to break. Macros that expect ``nkPar`` nodes to which - objects are passed are likely to break as well. -- Base methods now need to be annotated with the ``base`` pragma. This makes - multi methods less error-prone to use with the effect system. -- Nim's parser directive ``#!`` is now ``#?`` in order to produce no conflicts - with Unix's ``#!``. -- An implicit return type for an iterator is now deprecated. Use ``auto`` if - you want more type inference. -- The type ``auto`` is now a "multi-bind" metatype, so the following compiles: - - .. code-block:: nim - proc f(x, y: auto): auto = - result = $x & y - - echo f(0, "abc") -- The ``ftpclient`` module is now deprecated in favour of the - ``asyncftpclient`` module. -- In sequtils.nim renamed ``repeat`` function to ``cycle`` (concatenating - a sequence by itself the given times), and also introduced ``repeat``, - which repeats an element the given times. -- The function ``map`` is moved to sequtils.nim. The inplace ``map`` version - is renamed to ``apply``. -- The template ``mapIt`` now doesn't require the result's type parameter. - Also the inplace ``mapIt`` is renamed to ``apply``. -- The compiler is now stricter with what is allowed as a case object - discriminator. The following code used to compile but was not supported - completely and so now fails: - -.. code-block:: nim - type - DataType* {.pure.} = enum - Char = 1, - Int8 = 2, - Int16 = 3, - Int32 = 4, - Int64 = 5, - Float32 = 6, - Float64 = 7 - - DataSeq* = object - case kind* : DataType - of DataType.Char: charSeq* : seq[char] - of DataType.Int8: int8Seq* : seq[int8] - of DataType.Int16: int16Seq* : seq[int16] - of DataType.Int32: int32Seq* : seq[int32] - of DataType.Int64: int64Seq* : seq[int64] - of DataType.Float32: float32Seq* : seq[float32] - of DataType.Float64: float64Seq* : seq[float64] - - length* : int - - - -Library Additions ------------------ - -- The nre module has been added, providing a better interface to PCRE than re. -- The ``expandSymlink`` proc has been added to the ``os`` module. -- The ``tailDir`` proc has been added to the ``os`` module. -- Define ``nimPinToCpu`` to make the ``threadpool`` use explicit thread - affinities. This can speed up or slow down the thread pool; it's up to you - to benchmark it. -- ``strutils.formatFloat`` and ``formatBiggestFloat`` do not depend on the C - locale anymore and now take an optional ``decimalSep = '.'`` parameter. -- Added ``unicode.lastRune``, ``unicode.graphemeLen``. - - -Compiler Additions ------------------- - -- The compiler now supports a new configuration system based on - `NimScript <docs/nims.html>`_. -- The compiler finally considers symbol binding rules in templates and - generics for overloaded ``[]``, ``[]=``, ``{}``, ``{}=`` operators - (issue `#2599 <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/2599>`_). -- The compiler now supports a `bitsize pragma <docs/manual.html#pragmas-bitsize-pragma>`_ - for constructing bitfields. -- Added a new ``--reportConceptFailures`` switch for better debugging of - concept related type mismatches. This can also be used to debug - ``system.compiles`` failures. - - -Language Additions ------------------- - -- ``system.unsafeAddr`` can be used to access the address of a ``let`` - variable or parameter for C interoperability. Since technically this - makes parameters and ``let`` variables mutable, it is considered even more - unsafe than the ordinary ``addr`` builtin. -- Added ``macros.getImpl`` that can be used to access the implementation of - a routine or a constant. This allows for example for user-defined inlining - of function calls. -- Tuple unpacking finally works in a non-var/let context: ``(x, y) = f()`` - is allowed. Note that this doesn't declare ``x`` and ``y`` variables, for - this ``let (x, y) = f()`` still needs to be used. -- ``when nimvm`` can now be used for compiletime versions of some code - sections. Click `here <docs/manual.html#when-nimvm-statement>`_ for details. -- Usage of the type ``NimNode`` in a proc now implicitly annotates the proc - with ``.compileTime``. This means generics work much better for ``NimNode``. - - -Bugfixes --------- -- Fixed "Compiler internal error on iterator it(T: typedesc[Base]) called with it(Child), where Child = object of Base" - (`#2662 <https://github.com/Araq/Nim/issues/2662>`_) -- Fixed "repr() misses base object field in 2nd level derived object" - (`#2749 <https://github.com/Araq/Nim/issues/2749>`_) -- Fixed "nimsuggest doesn't work more than once on the non-main file" - (`#2694 <https://github.com/Araq/Nim/issues/2694>`_) -- Fixed "JS Codegen.

-.. container:: metadata - - Posted by Dominik Picheta on 18/01/2016 - -Once again we are proud to announce the latest release of the Nim compiler -and related tools. This release comes just 3 months after the last -release! - -A new version of Nimble which depends on this release, has also been -released. See `this <http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/1912>`_ forum thread for -more information about the Nimble release. - -This release of Nim includes over 116 bug fixes, many of which are related -to closures. The lambda lifting algorithm in the compiler has been completely -rewritten, and some changes have been made to the semantics of closures in -Nim as a result. These changes may affect backwards compatibility and are all -described in the section below. - -With this release, we are one step closer to Nim version 1.0. -The 1.0 release will be a big milestone for Nim, because after that version -is released there will be no more breaking changes made to the language -or the standard library. - -That being said, the next release will likely be Nim 0.14. It will focus on -improvements to the GC and concurrency. We will in particular be looking at -ways to add multi-core support to async await. Standard library improvements -are also on our roadmap but may not make it for Nim 0.14. - -As always you can download the latest version of Nim from the -`download <download.html>`_ page. - -Happy coding! - -Changes affecting backwards compatibility ------------------------------------------ - -- ``macros.newLit`` for ``bool`` now produces false/true symbols which - actually work with the bool datatype. -- When compiling to JS: ``Node``, ``NodeType`` and ``Document`` are no longer - defined. Use the types defined in ``dom.nim`` instead. -- The check ``x is iterator`` (used for instance in concepts) was always a - weird special case (you could not use ``x is proc``) and was removed from - the language. -- Top level routines cannot have the calling convention ``closure`` - anymore. -- The ``redis`` module has been moved out of the standard library. It can - now be installed via Nimble and is located here: - https://github.com/nim-lang/redis -- ``math.RunningStat`` and its associated procs have been moved from - the ``math`` module to a new ``stats`` module. - - -Syntax changes -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The parser now considers leading whitespace in front of operators -to determine if an operator is used in prefix or infix position. -This means that finally ``echo $foo`` is parsed as people expect, -which is as ``echo($foo)``. It used to be parsed as ``(echo) $ (foo)``. - -``echo $ foo`` continues to be parsed as ``(echo) $ (foo)``. - -This also means that ``-1`` is always parsed as prefix operator so -code like ``0..kArraySize div 2 -1`` needs to be changed to -``0..kArraySize div 2 - 1``. - -This release also adds multi-line comments to Nim. The syntax for them is: -``#[ comment here ]#``. For more details read the section of -the `manual <docs/manual.html#lexical-analysis-multiline-comments>`_. - -Iterator changes -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Implicit return type inference for iterators has been removed from the language. The following used to work: - -.. code-block:: nim - iterator it = - yield 7 - -This was a strange special case and has been removed. Now you need to write it like so which is consistent with procs: - -.. code-block:: nim - iterator it: auto = - yield 7 - - -Closure changes -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The semantics of closures changed: Capturing variables that are in loops do not produce a new environment. Nim closures behave like JavaScript closures now. - -The following used to work as the environment creation used to be attached to the loop body: - -.. code-block:: nim - - proc outer = - var s: seq[proc(): int {.closure.}] = @[] - for i in 0 ..< 30: - let ii = i - s.add(proc(): int = return ii*ii) - -This behaviour has changed in 0.13.0 and now needs to be written as: - -.. code-block:: nim - - proc outer = - var s: seq[proc(): int {.closure.}] = @[] - for i in 0 ..< 30: - (proc () = - let ii = i - s.add(proc(): int = return ii*ii))() - -The reason is that environment creations are now only performed once -per proc call. This change is subtle and unfortunate, but: - -1. Affects almost no code out there. -2. Is easier to implement and we are at a point in Nim's development process where simple+stable wins over perfect-in-theory+unstable-in-practice. -3. Implies programmers are more in control of where memory is allocated which is beneficial for a systems programming language. - -Bugfixes --------- - -The list below has been generated based on the commits in Nim's git -repository.

Indeed, the most prominent fixes are related to the GC not collecting -cycles properly. This was a major problem that was triggered typically when -applications using asynchronous I/O were left running for long periods of time. - -There have also been many fixes to the way that the compiler sources are -installed. Some applications such as Nimble depend on these sources and they -are now included in the release tarballs. This should fix many of the problems -that users experienced trying to compile the Nimble package manager. - -Finally, you will find multiple changes in the standard library.

This includes the ``random`` -procedures being moved to a new ``random`` module, HTTP headers being stored -in a new ``HttpHeaders`` object and the ``round`` procedure in the ``math`` module -being changed to return a ``float`` instead of an ``int``. You can find a full -list of such changes below. - -Together with the new release of Nim, we are also releasing a new version of -Nimble.

Previously they were relative to project directory. -- The json module now stores the name/value pairs in objects internally as a - hash table of type ``fields*: Table[string, JsonNode]`` instead of a - sequence. This means that order is no longer preserved. When using the - ``table.mpairs`` iterator only the returned values can be modified, no - longer the keys. -- The deprecated Nim shebang notation ``#!`` was removed from the language. Use ``#?`` instead. -- Typeless parameters have been removed from the language since it would - clash with ``using``. -- Procedures in ``mersenne.nim`` (Mersenne Twister implementation) no longer - accept and produce ``int`` values which have platform-dependent size - - they use ``uint32`` instead. -- The ``strutils.unindent`` procedure has been rewritten. Its parameters now - match the parameters of ``strutils.indent``. See issue `#4037 <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/4037>`_ - for more details. -- The ``matchers`` module has been deprecated. See issue `#2446 <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/2446>`_ - for more details. -- The ``json.[]`` no longer returns ``nil`` when a key is not found. Instead it - raises a ``KeyError`` exception. You can compile with the ``-d:nimJsonGet`` - flag to get a list of usages of ``[]``, as well as to restore the operator's - previous behaviour. -- When using ``useMalloc``, an additional header containing the size of the - allocation will be allocated, to support zeroing memory on realloc as expected - by the language. With this change, ``alloc`` and ``dealloc`` are no longer - aliases for ``malloc`` and ``free`` - use ``c_malloc`` and ``c_free`` if - you need that. -- The ``json.%`` operator is now overloaded for ``object``, ``ref object`` and - ``openarray[T]``. -- The procs related to ``random`` number generation in ``math.nim`` have - been moved to its own ``random`` module and been reimplemented in pure - Nim. -- The path handling changed. The project directory is not added to the - search path automatically anymore. Add this line to your project's - config to get back the old behaviour: ``--path:"$projectdir"``. (The compiler - replaces ``$projectdir`` with your project's absolute directory when compiling, - so you don't need to replace ``$projectdir`` by your project's actual - directory!). See issue `#546 <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/546>`_ - and `this forum thread <http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/2277>`_ for more - information. -- The ``round`` function in ``math.nim`` now returns a float and has been - corrected such that the C implementation always rounds up from .5 rather - than changing the operation for even and odd numbers. -- The ``round`` function now accepts a ``places`` argument to round to a - given number of places (e.g. round 4.35 to 4.4 if ``places`` is 1). -- In ``strutils.nim``, ``formatSize`` now returns a number representing the - size in conventional decimal format (e.g. 2.234GB meaning 2.234 GB rather - than meaning 2.285 GB as in the previous implementation). By default it - also uses IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB) etc and optionally uses colloquial names - (kB, MB etc) and the (SI-preferred) space. -- The ``==`` operator for ``cstring`` now implements a value comparison - for the C backend (using ``strcmp``), not reference comparisons anymore. - Convert the cstrings to pointers if you really want reference equality - for speed. -- HTTP headers are now stored in a ``HttpHeaders`` object instead of a - ``StringTableRef``. This object allows multiple values to be associated with - a single key. A new ``httpcore`` module implements it and it is used by - both ``asynchttpserver`` and ``httpclient``. - -The ``using`` statement -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The ``using`` statement now has a different meaning. - -In version 0.13.0, it -was used to provide syntactic convenience for procedures that heavily use -a single contextual parameter. For example: - -.. code-block:: nim - var socket = newSocket() - using socket - - connect("google.com", Port(80)) - send("GET / HTTP/1.1\c\l") - - -The ``connect`` and ``send`` calls are both transformed so that they pass -``socket`` as the first argument: - -.. code-block:: nim - var socket = newSocket() - - socket.connect("google.com", Port(80)) - socket.send("GET / HTTP/1.1\c\l") - -Take a look at the old version of the -`manual <http://nim-lang.org/0.13.0/manual.html#statements-and-expressions-using-statement>`_ -to learn more about the old behaviour. - -In 0.14.0, -the ``using`` statement -instead provides a syntactic convenience for procedure definitions where the -same parameter names and types are used repeatedly. For example, instead of -writing: - -.. code-block:: nim - proc foo(c: Context; n: Node) = ... - proc bar(c: Context; n: Node, counter: int) = ... - proc baz(c: Context; n: Node) = ... - - -You can simply write: - -.. code-block:: nim - {.experimental.} - using - c: Context - n: Node - counter: int - - proc foo(c, n) = ... - proc bar(c, n, counter) = ... - proc baz(c, n) = ... - -Again, the -`manual <http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#statements-and-expressions-using-statement>`_ -has more details. - -You can still achieve a similar effect to what the old ``using`` statement -tried to achieve by using the new experimental ``this`` pragma, documented -`here <http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#overloading-resolution-automatic-self-insertions>`_. - -Generic type classes -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Generic type classes are now handled properly in the compiler, but this -means code like the following does not compile any longer: - -.. code-block:: nim - type - Vec3[T] = distinct array[3, T] - - proc vec3*[T](a, b, c: T): Vec3[T] = Vec3([a, b, c]) - -While every ``Vec3[T]`` is part of the ``Vec3`` type class, the reverse -is not true, not every ``Vec3`` is a ``Vec3[T]``. Otherwise there would -be a subtype relation between ``Vec3[int]`` and ``Vec3[float]`` and there -is none for Nim. The fix is to write this instead: - -.. code-block:: nim - type - Vec3[T] = distinct array[3, T] - - proc vec3*[T](a, b, c: T): Vec3[T] = Vec3[T]([a, b, c]) - -Note that in general we don't advise to use ``distinct array``, -use ``object`` instead. - - -Library Additions ------------------ - -- The rlocks module has been added providing a reentrant lock synchronization - primitive. -- A generic "sink operator" written as ``&=`` has been added to the -``system`` and the ``net`` modules. This operator is similar to the C++ -``<<`` operator which writes data to a stream. -- Added ``strscans`` module that implements a ``scanf`` for easy input extraction. -- Added a version of ``parseutils.parseUntil`` that can deal with a string - ``until`` token. The other versions are for ``char`` and ``set[char]``. -- Added ``splitDecimal`` to ``math.nim`` to split a floating point value - into an integer part and a floating part (in the range -1<x<1). -- Added ``trimZeros`` to ``strutils.nim`` to trim trailing zeros in a - floating point number. -- Added ``formatEng`` to ``strutils.nim`` to format numbers using engineering - notation. - - -Compiler Additions ------------------- - -- Added a new ``--noCppExceptions`` switch that allows to use default exception - handling (no ``throw`` or ``try``/``catch`` generated) when compiling to C++ - code. - -Language Additions ------------------- - -- Nim now supports a ``.this`` pragma for more notational convenience. - See `automatic-self-insertions <../docs/manual.html#overloading-resolution-automatic-self-insertions>`_ for more information. -- Nim now supports a different ``using`` statement for more convenience. - Consult `using-statement <../docs/manual.html#statements-and-expressions-using-statement>`_ for more information. -- ``include`` statements are not restricted to top level statements anymore. - -.. - - Nim now supports ``partial`` object declarations to mitigate the problems - that arise when types are mutually dependent and yet should be kept in - different modules. - -Bugfixes --------- - -The list below has been generated based on the commits in Nim's git -repository. As such it lists only the issues which have been closed -via a commit, for a full list see -`this link on Github <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+closed%3A%222016-01-19+..+2016-06-06%22+>`_. -

I am happy to -say that we have received exactly 790 responses, huge thanks go to the people -that took the time to respond. We're incredibly thankful for this very valuable -feedback. - -This survey was inspired in part by the -`2016 State of Rust <https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/06/30/State-of-Rust-Survey-2016.html>`_ -survey. You will note that many of the questions were modelled after -Rust's survey. One of the reasons for doing this was to allow us to easily -compare our results against the results obtained in the Rust survey. In -addition, we of course also liked many of their questions. - -Our survey ran from the 23rd of June 2016 until the 8th of August 2016. The -response numbers are impressive considering Nim's community size; at 790 they -make up just over 25% of the Rust survey's responses. - -The goal of this survey was to primarily determine how our community is using -Nim, in order to better understand how we should be improving it. In particular, -we wanted to know what people feel is missing from Nim in the lead up to -version 1.0. We have also asked our respondents about how well the Nim tools -worked, the challenges of adopting Nim, the resources that they used to learn -Nim and more. - -It is my hope that we will be able to run a similar survey in a years time, -doing so should give us an idea of whether we are improving. -With these general facts in mind, let's begin looking at specific questions. - -How did you find out about Nim? -------------------------------- - -The rationale for the first question was simple, we wanted to know where our -respondents found out about Nim. This is an interesting question for us, as -we do occassionally get users asking us why it took so long for them to hear -about Nim. It allows us to see how effective each website is at spreading the -word about Nim. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_found.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_found.png" alt="How did you find out about Nim?" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -The majority of our respondents found Nim via Reddit, HackerNews or a search -engine such as Google. These results are not altogether surprising. There were -also a lot of "Other" responses, some of which were a bit more -interesting. These included multiple mentions of habrahabr.ru, Dr. Dobb's, -and lobste.rs. - -Do you use Nim? ---------------- - -Just like the Rust survey creators, we wanted to ensure that our survey was -open to both Nim users as well people who never used Nim. In addition to -those two groups, we have also included a third group of people: ex-Nim -users. All three are interesting, for many different reasons. -Nim users can tell us how they are using Nim and also how Nim's -tooling can improve. Ex-Nim users give us an -idea of why they stopped using Nim. Finally, respondents who never used Nim -can tell us the reasons for not adopting it. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/do_you_use_nim.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/do_you_use_nim.png" alt="Do you use Nim?" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -It's nice to see that we have such a good range of respondents. The Rust survey -had a much larger number of Rust users amongst their respondents, with -no distinction between users that never used Rust and users that stopped using -Rust. - -Should we consider your answers to be invalid? ----------------------------------------------- - -This was something I thought would be interesting to have, after I saw it -being used in another survey. While it does pinpoint possibly -invalid respondents, I have opted against filtering those out. Mainly because -that would require re-creating each of the charts generated by Google Forms -manually. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/reliability.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/reliability.png" alt="Should we consider your answers to be invalid?" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -According to the responses to this question, around 94% of our responses -can be considered reliable. - -Nim users ---------- - -The following questions were answered only by the 38.9% of our respondents -who identified themselves as Nim users. - -How long have you been using Nim? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_time.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_time.png" alt="How long have you been using Nim?" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -A large proportion of our Nim users were new. This is good news as it means that -our community is growing, with a large proportion of new Nim users that could -become long-term Nimians. In total, more than 35% of Nim users can be considered -new having used Nim for less than 3 months. With 18% of Nim users that can -be considered very new having used Nim for less than a month. -This could suggest that 18% of our users have only just found out about Nim in -the last week or so and have not yet got the chance to use it extensively. - -The high percentages of long term Nim users are encouraging. -They suggest -that many users are continuing to use Nim after making it through the first -few months. The sharp drop at 7-9 months is interesting, but may simply be -due to the fact that there were fewer newcomers during that period, or it -could be because our respondents are more likely to estimate that they have -been using Nim for a year or half a year rather than the awkward 7-9 months. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_time_rust.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_time_rust.png" alt="Time using Nim and Rust" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -The results for Nim and Rust are actually remarkably similar. They both show a -drop at 7-9 months, although Rust's isn't as dramatic. Nim on the other hand -has a significantly higher percentage of new Nim users. - -Do you use Nim at work? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -An important aspect of a language's adoption is whether it is being used for -"real" work. We wanted to know how many people are using Nim in their day -jobs and under what circumstances it is used. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_at_work.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_at_work.png" alt="Do you use Nim at work?" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -While a vast majority of our users are not using Nim at work, more than 25% -of them are. It's encouraging to see such a high number already, even before -we have released version 1.0. In fact, this percentage is likely close to 30%, -because many of the "Other" responses mention using Nim for the likes of -internal tools or small scripts to help with the respondent's work. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/images/2016-06-Survey/rust_at_work.png"> - <img src="https://blog.rust-lang.org/images/2016-06-Survey/rust_at_work.png" alt="Do you use Rust at work?" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -Interestingly, a larger percentage of Nim users are using Nim at work than -Rust users. The sample sizes are of course vastly different, but it's still an -interesting result. Combined, nearly 1/5th of Rust users are using Rust -commercially whereas more than a quarter of Nim users are using Nim -commercially. - -Approximately how large are all the Nim projects that you work on? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Finding out how large the Nim projects worked on by Nim users are is also -very valuable. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/project_size.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/project_size.png" alt="Nim project size for all users" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -This shows us that currently Nim is primarily being used for small scripts and -applications, with nearly 60% of the projects consisting of less than 1,000 -lines of code. This makes sense as many of our users are not using Nim -professionally, but are doing so in their spare time. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/project_size_work.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/project_size_work.png" alt="Nim project size for work users" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -The numbers for part-time and full-time work users of Nim tell a different -story. Over 70% of the projects written by full-time users are between 10,001 -and 100,000 lines of code. Part-time users show a slightly different trend, -with many more small projects, the majority being between 1,000 and -10,000 lines of code. - -Overall it's good to see that there is a few large projects out there which are -composed of more than 100,000 lines of code. We expect to see the amount of -large projects to grow with time, especially with version 1.0 on the way. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/project_size_nim_rust.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/project_size_nim_rust.png" alt="Nim project size for work users (Nim vs. Rust)" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -In comparison to Rust the proportion of project sizes for full-time users is -vastly different. This is likely due to our small sample size. Project sizes for -part-time users between Rust and Nim are somewhat similar, with differences of -around 10% for each project size. - -Do you plan to try to use Nim at work? -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/planning_to_use_at_work.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/planning_to_use_at_work.png" alt="Planning to use Nim at work?" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -It's also encouraging to see that over 50% of Nim users are planning to use -Nim at work! This is slightly more than Rust's 40% and should help Nim's -adoption into even more areas. - -Nim and its tools -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -In this section of the survey, we wanted to find out the tools that Nim -users are utilising when developing Nim applications. - -What editor(s) do you use when writing Nim? -___________________________________________ - -Programmers are very specific when it comes to their editor of choice, because -of that it's good to know which editor is most popular among our community. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/editors.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/editors.png" alt="Editors used by Nim users" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -Looks like Vim is the winner with almost 30%. Followed by Sublime Text and -Emacs. Aporia, the Nim IDE, gets a respectable 15.5%. There was -also more than -17% of answers which included "Other" editors, such as: Notepad++, Geany, gedit, -and Kate. - -What operating system(s) do you compile for and run your Nim projects on? -_________________________________________________________________________ - -This question gave us information about the most popular target operating -systems, as well as some of the more obscure ones. We have asked this question -to find out the platforms on which Nim applications run on most frequently. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/target_os.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/target_os.png" alt="Target operating systems" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -This question allowed multiple choices, so each percentage is out of the total -number of respondents for this question. For example, 80.7% of the -respondents selected "Linux" but only 26.6% selected OS X. - -This makes Linux by far the most popular target for Nim applications. -Some "Other" targets included: BSD (OpenBSD, FreeBSD), iOS, Android, and -JavaScript. -It's great to see Nim being used on such a wide variety of platforms. - -What operating system(s) do you develop Nim projects on? -________________________________________________________ - -With this question, we wanted to know what operating systems are used for -development. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/dev_os.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/dev_os.png" alt="Development operating systems" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -This question also allowed multiple choices and ended up with very similar -results. - -You can see that Linux is also the most popular developmental -platform for Nim. But it's more popular as a target platform. - -Which version(s) of Nim do you use for your applications? -_________________________________________________________ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_versions.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_versions.png" alt="Version use" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -At the time of this survey, version 0.14.2 was the latest stable release. -It's no wonder that it is the most commonly used release of Nim. It's good to -see that the older versions are not used as often. The high use of ``Git HEAD (devel)`` -(nightly builds) isn't surprising, Nim is still evolving rapidly and our -release schedule is not regular or frequent. - -Once we go past the 1.0 release, we expect to see much less use of the unstable -``devel`` branch. - -Has upgrading to a new version of the Nim compiler broken your code? -____________________________________________________________________ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/breakage.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/breakage.png" alt="Breakage" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -Despite the unstable nature of Nim in the lead up to version 1.0, whenever -we make breaking changes we do our best to deprecate things and ensure that -old code continues to work for our users. Of course sometimes this is not -possible and other times it is simply easier to add a breaking change. - -This question was asked to determine how much our user base is affected by -breaking changes between Nim versions. We decided to have three possible -answers for this question in order to give us an idea how frequent the -breakage was. - -It's incredible to see that over 50% of our users have not experienced any -breakage after upgrading. We expect this number to increase significantly -after version 1.0 is released. Of the users that did experience breakage, -over 80% of them said that it was a rare occurrence. - -In comparison to Rust, our results show that there was a higher percentage of -users experiencing breakage as a result of an upgrade. This is to be expected, -because Nim is still in its pre-1.0 period, whereas Rust 1.0 has been released -over a year ago now. - -Unfortunately while we are still in this pre-1.0 period, releases will likely -introduce breaking changes as we refine certain aspects of Nim such as its -standard library, so the number of users experiencing breaking changes may -increase. - -If so, how much work did it take to fix it? -___________________________________________ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/difficulty_fixing_breakage.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/difficulty_fixing_breakage.png" alt="difficulty fixing breakage" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -Thankfully most of the breakage experienced by Nim users was very easy to fix. - - -If you used Nimble, do you like it? -___________________________________ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/nimble_opinion.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/nimble_opinion.png" alt="Do you like Nimble?" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -Nimble is the Nim package manager, a tool that is very important in Nim's -ecosystem as it allows developers to easily install dependencies for their -software. - -The majority of respondents rated it as a 4, showing us that the majority does -like Nimble. With over 55% rating it a 4 or 5. This percentage isn't as -overwhelming as the 94.1% of users that rated Cargo a 4 or 5 in the Rust -survey. Based on these results I think that we definitely need to do a -better job with Nimble. - -In our next survey, it might be a good idea to ask more questions about Nimble -to determine how exactly it can be improved. - -What aspects of Nim do you find most appealing? -_______________________________________________ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_appeal.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_appeal.png" alt="What aspects of Nim do you find most appealing?" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -We were interested to know the features of Nim that appeal most to our users. -More than 80% of our respondents selected "Execution Speed" as one of the -features that appeal to them. With "Development Speed" and "Readability" -tying for second place and "Metaprogramming" at third place. - -The options given to our respondents are rather predictable, -they do show us which of these features have the highest appeal though. -What's more interesting are the "Other" answers. - -By far the most popular "Other" answer was related to Nim's compilation to C. -Many users mentioned that they like how easy it is to interface with C -libraries and the great portability that compiling to C offers. - -What aspects of Nim do you find most displeasing? -_________________________________________________ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_displeasing.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/nim_displeasing.png" alt="What aspects of Nim do you find most displeasing?" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -It was only natural to ask this question. The results are almost perfectly -opposite to the previous question's answers, with almost 50% of respondents -selecting "Debugging Tools" -as the most displeasing aspect of Nim. With "Documentation" and "Testing Tools" -in second and third place respectively. There is also a much larger number of -"Other" answers to this question. - -The "Other" answers for this question vary a lot. Here is a selection of -them, ordered by frequency: - -* Small community size. -* Lack of in-depth tutorials. -* Quality of error messages. -* Forward declarations and no cyclic imports. -* Bugs in the standard library. -* No good IDE. -* No REPL. -* No major version. -* Bugs in the compiler. -* Lack of libraries. -* Difficulty installing on Windows. -* Non-intuitive semantics of various constructs. -* Lack of immutable collections. -* Async/await not being production ready. -* Lack of shared collections for threads. -* No Haxe target. -* Memory safety. - -We hope that we can improve these things with time. Many of these issues are -already being worked on, including the removal of the need for forward -declarations. Some of these issues like our small community size are difficult -to fix, but we will nonetheless do our best. - - -Previous Nim users -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -For users that have used Nim before but decided against using it, we asked just -one specific question. The proportion of our respondents that answered it -was 24%. - -Why did you stop using Nim? -___________________________ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/ex_nim.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/ex_nim.png" alt="I stopped using Nim because..." style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -Again, this question got a lot of "Other" answers. Apart from that, the -most popular reason for leaving Nim is that it is not stable. Followed by the -a lack of needed libraries and packages and the instability of the -standard library. - -* Lack of IDE support. -* Style insensitive. -* Documentation. -* Dislike the syntax. -* Community is too small. -* Missing language features (for example RAII). -* No opportunities to use it at work. -* Messy standard library. - -The first item, "Lack of IDE support", was mentioned by multiple respondents. -In the future we should look into ensuring that major IDEs have plugins which -enable easy Nim development. - -Based on some of the "Other" answers, it seems that many of the respondents -have not used Nim for very long, for example many respondents complained about -installation issues which they would have run into before getting a chance to -use Nim. Because of this I would consider them not -ex-Nim users but developers that have not had a chance to try Nim fully. -Next time we should also ask how long the respondent has used Nim for to get a -better idea of whether they had a chance to use Nim for extended periods of -time. - -Non-Nim users -~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -We also wanted to know the reasons why developers decided against using Nim. - -Why do you not use Nim? -_______________________ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/non_user.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/non_user.png" alt="I don't use Nim because..." style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -The most common reason that people have for not using Nim is that it is -not yet ready for production. Thankfully this will improve with time. -IDE support is also a prominent factor just as we've seen in previous results. - -There is also a lot of "Other" answers, let's have a look at a selection of -them. Some of the most prominent ones, in order of frequency, include: - -* No time to use/learn it -* Syntax -* Documentation is incomplete -* Garbage Collection -* Prefer functional paradigm -* Small community -* Style insensitivity/Case insensitivity - -One respondent made a very good suggestion: they said that the -"Do you use Nim?" question should have included "No, but I intend to" as -an answer. Definitely something we will do in the next survey. Indeed, many -respondents mentioned that they were planning on trying out Nim but that they -just have no time to do so, this is very encouraging! - -Learning Resources -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -We wanted to get an idea of how Nim users are learning Nim. Every respondent -answered this question, no matter what they answered for the "Do you use Nim?" -question. - -Which learning resources, if any, did you use to learn Nim? -___________________________________________________________ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/learning_resources.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/learning_resources.png" alt="learning resources" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -The idea behind this question was to understand which learning resources -were most popular among our user base. The -`Nim tutorial <http://nim-lang.org/docs/tut1.html>`_ is by far the most -popular. In previous questions, we saw respondents mentioning that the Nim -tutorial does not go into enough detail about Nim. Thanks to this information -we can come to the conclusion that the tutorial needs to be improved -significantly to make sure that it gives our users the necessary information -to use Nim effectively. - -Indeed, many users also use the -`Nim manual <http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html>`_ to learn Nim. -This manual has been -written as a specification and so is not ideal for teaching Nim. Many of -the concepts in the Nim manual need to be explained in a lot more detail in -the Nim tutorial. - -Of course, it's exciting to see our respondents using other materials to learn -Nim. In particular I am excited to see that over 15% of the respondents have -used -`Nim in Action <https://manning.com/books/nim-in-action?a_aid=niminaction&a_bid=78a27e81>`_ -to learn Nim.

This somewhat contradicts -the majority. But perhaps most of them thought that "The language" excludes the -standard library. - -For this question, we decided to give our respondents a dedicated place to -give general feedback about what they feel is needed before v1.0 can be -released. We received over 200 responses to that. Many of these responses -reflect what we have already seen: that the documentation needs to improve, -that we need a good Nim IDE, stability for experimental features such as -concepts, the standard library needs to be cleaned up. - -Unfortunately many respondents used this question to say what needs to be fixed -in Nim in general, not what is definitely necessary before 1.0 can be released. - -Community demographics -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -What domain do you work in currently? -_____________________________________ - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/survey/domains.png"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/survey/domains.png" alt="Work domains" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - - -Nim users are working in a wide variety of domains.

To see a full list -of changes, take a look at the detailed changelog -`below <#changelog>`_. - -Some of the most significant changes in this release include: improvements to -the documentation, addition of a new ``multisync`` macro, and a new -``HttpClient`` implementation. - -Documentation -~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -All pages in the documentation now contain a search box and a drop down to -select how procedures should be sorted. This allows you to search for -procedures, types, macros and more from any documentation page. - -.. raw::html - - <a href="../assets/news/images/0.15.0/doc_search.gif"> - <img src="../assets/news/images/0.15.0/doc_search.gif" alt="Doc search" style="width:100%"/> - </a> - -Sorting the procedures by type shows a more natural table of contents.

There are now -two types: ``HttpClient`` and ``AsyncHttpClient``. Both of these implement the -same procedures and functionality, the only difference is timeout support and -whether they are blocking or not. - -See the `httpclient <http://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html>`_ module -documentation for more information. - -Changelog -~~~~~~~~~ - -Changes affecting backwards compatibility ------------------------------------------ - -- The ``json`` module now uses an ``OrderedTable`` rather than a ``Table`` - for JSON objects. - -- The ``split`` `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/strutils.html#split,string,set[char],int>`_ - procedure in the ``strutils`` module (with a delimiter of type - ``set[char]``) no longer strips and splits characters out of the target string - by the entire set of characters. Instead, it now behaves in a - similar fashion to ``split`` with ``string`` and ``char`` - delimiters. Use ``splitWhitespace`` to get the old behaviour. - -- The command invocation syntax will soon apply to open brackets - and curlies too. This means that code like ``a [i]`` will be - interpreted as ``a([i])`` and not as ``a[i]`` anymore. Likewise - ``f (a, b)`` means that the tuple ``(a, b)`` is passed to ``f``. - The compiler produces a warning for ``a [i]``:: - - Warning: a [b] will be parsed as command syntax; spacing is deprecated - - See `Issue #3898 <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/3898>`_ for the - relevant discussion. - -- Overloading the special operators ``.``, ``.()``, ``.=``, ``()`` now - needs to be enabled via the ``{.experimental.}`` pragma. - -- ``immediate`` templates and macros are now deprecated. - Use ``untyped`` `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#templates-typed-vs-untyped-parameters>`_ - parameters instead. - -- The metatype ``expr`` is deprecated. Use ``untyped`` - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#templates-typed-vs-untyped-parameters>`_ instead. - -- The metatype ``stmt`` is deprecated. Use ``typed`` - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#templates-typed-vs-untyped-parameters>`_ instead. - -- The compiler is now more picky when it comes to ``tuple`` types. The - following code used to compile, now it's rejected: - -.. code-block:: nim - - import tables - var rocketaims = initOrderedTable[string, Table[tuple[k: int8, v: int8], int64]]() - rocketaims["hi"] = {(-1.int8, 0.int8): 0.int64}.toTable() - -Instead be consistent in your tuple usage and use tuple names for named tuples: - -.. code-block:: nim - - import tables - var rocketaims = initOrderedTable[string, Table[tuple[k: int8, v: int8], int64]]() - rocketaims["hi"] = {(k: -1.int8, v: 0.int8): 0.int64}.toTable() - -- Now when you compile console applications for Windows, console output - encoding is automatically set to UTF-8. - -- Unhandled exceptions in JavaScript are now thrown regardless of whether - ``noUnhandledHandler`` is defined. But the stack traces should be much more - readable now. - -- In JavaScript, the ``system.alert`` procedure has been deprecated. - Use ``dom.alert`` instead. - -- De-deprecated ``re.nim`` because there is too much code using it - and it got the basic API right. - -- The type of ``headers`` field in the ``AsyncHttpClient`` type - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html#AsyncHttpClient>`_ - has been changed - from a string table to the specialised ``HttpHeaders`` type. - -- The ``httpclient.request`` - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html#request,AsyncHttpClient,string,string,string>`_ - procedure which takes the ``httpMethod`` as a string - value no longer requires it to be prefixed with ``"http"`` - (or similar). - -- Converting a ``HttpMethod`` - `(doc) <nim-lang.org/docs/httpcore.html#HttpMethod>`_ - value to a string using the ``$`` operator will - give string values without the ``"Http"`` prefix now. - -- The ``Request`` - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/asynchttpserver.html#Request>`_ - object defined in the ``asynchttpserver`` module now uses - the ``HttpMethod`` type for the request method. - -Library Additions ------------------ - -- Added ``readHeaderRow`` and ``rowEntry`` to the ``parsecsv`` - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/parsecsv.html>`_ module - to provide - a lightweight alternative to python's ``csv.DictReader``. - -- Added ``setStdIoUnbuffered`` proc to the ``system`` module to enable - unbuffered I/O. - -- Added ``center`` and ``rsplit`` to the ``strutils`` - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/strutils.html>`_ module - to provide similar Python functionality for Nim's strings. - -- Added ``isTitle``, ``title``, ``swapCase``, ``isUpper``, ``toUpper``, - ``isLower``, ``toLower``, ``isAlpha``, ``isSpace``, and ``capitalize`` - to the ``unicode.nim`` - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/unicode.html>`_ module - to provide unicode aware case manipulation and case - testing. - -- Added a new module ``strmisc`` - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/strmisc.html>`_ - to hold uncommon string - operations. Currently contains ``partition``, ``rpartition`` - and ``expandTabs``. - -- Split out ``walkFiles`` in the ``os`` - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/os.html>`_ module to three separate procs - in order to make a clear distinction of functionality. ``walkPattern`` iterates - over both files and directories, while ``walkFiles`` now only iterates - over files and ``walkDirs`` only iterates over directories. - -- Added a synchronous ``HttpClient`` in the ``httpclient`` - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html>`_ - module. The old - ``get``, ``post`` and similar procedures are now deprecated in favour of it. - -- Added a new macro called ``multisync`` allowing you to write procedures for - synchronous and asynchronous sockets with no duplication. - -- The ``async`` macro will now complete ``FutureVar[T]`` parameters - automatically unless they have been completed already. - -Tool Additions --------------- - -- The documentation is now searchable and sortable by type. -- Pragmas are now hidden by default in the documentation to reduce noise. -- Edit links are now present in the documentation. - - -Compiler Additions ------------------- - -- The ``-d/--define`` flag can now optionally take a value to be used - by code at compile time. - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-compile-time-define-pragmas>`_ - -Nimscript Additions -------------------- - -- It's possible to enable and disable specific hints and warnings in - Nimscript via the ``warning`` and ``hint`` procedures. - -- Nimscript exports a proc named ``patchFile`` which can be used to - patch modules or include files for different Nimble packages, including - the ``stdlib`` package. - -Language Additions ------------------- - -- Added ``{.intdefine.}`` and ``{.strdefine.}`` macros to make use of - (optional) compile time defines. - `(doc) <http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-compile-time-define-pragmas>`_ - -- If the first statement is an ``import system`` statement then ``system`` - is not imported implicitly anymore. This allows for code like - ``import system except echo`` or ``from system import nil``. - -Bugfixes --------- - -The list below has been generated based on the commits in Nim's git -repository.

Previously - redirects were handled only by ``get`` and ``post`` procs. -- The IO routines now raise ``EOFError`` for the "end of file" condition. - ``EOFError`` is a subtype of ``IOError`` and so it's easier to distinguish - between "error during read" and "error due to EOF". -- A hash procedure has been added for ``cstring`` type in ``hashes`` module. - Previously, hash of a ``cstring`` would be calculated as a hash of the - pointer. Now the hash is calculated from the contents of the string, assuming - ``cstring`` is a null-terminated string. Equal ``string`` and ``cstring`` - values produce an equal hash value. -- Macros accepting `varargs` arguments will now receive a node having the - `nkArgList` node kind. Previous code expecting the node kind to be `nkBracket` - may have to be updated. -- ``memfiles.open`` now closes file handleds/fds by default. Passing - ``allowRemap=true`` to ``memfiles.open`` recovers the old behavior. The old - behavior is only needed to call ``mapMem`` on the resulting ``MemFile``. -- ``posix.nim``: For better C++ interop the field - ``sa_sigaction*: proc (x: cint, y: var SigInfo, z: pointer) {.noconv.}`` was - changed - to ``sa_sigaction*: proc (x: cint, y: ptr SigInfo, z: pointer) {.noconv.}``. -- The compiler doesn't infer effects for ``.base`` methods anymore. This means - you need to annotate them with ``.gcsafe`` or similar to clearly declare - upfront every implementation needs to fullfill these contracts. -- ``system.getAst templateCall(x, y)`` now typechecks the ``templateCall`` - properly. You need to patch your code accordingly. -- ``macros.getType`` and ``macros.getTypeImpl`` for an enum will now return an - AST that is the same as what is used to define an enum. Previously the AST - returned had a repeated ``EnumTy`` node and was missing the initial pragma - node (which is currently empty for an enum). -- ``macros.getTypeImpl`` now correctly returns the implementation for a symbol - of type ``tyGenericBody``. -- If the dispatcher parameter's value used in multi method is ``nil``, - a ``NilError`` exception is raised. The old behavior was that the method - would be a ``nop`` then. -- ``posix.nim``: the family of ``ntohs`` procs now takes unsigned integers - instead of signed integers. -- In Nim identifiers en-dash (Unicode point U+2013) is not an alias for the - underscore anymore. Use underscores and fix your programming font instead. -- When the ``requiresInit`` pragma is applied to a record type, future versions - of Nim will also require you to initialize all the fields of the type during - object construction. For now, only a warning will be produced. -- The Object construction syntax now performs a number of additional safety - checks. When fields within case objects are initialiazed, the compiler will - now demand that the respective discriminator field has a matching known - compile-time value. -- On posix, the results of `waitForExit`, `peekExitCode`, `execCmd` will return - 128 + signal number if the application terminates via signal. -- ``ospaths.getConfigDir`` now conforms to the XDG Base Directory specification - on non-Windows OSs. It returns the value of the XDG_CONFIG_DIR environment - variable if it is set, and returns the default configuration directory, - "~/.config/", otherwise. - -Library Additions ------------------ - -- Added ``system.onThreadDestruction``. -- Added ``dial`` procedure to networking modules: ``net``, ``asyncdispatch``, - ``asyncnet``. It merges socket creation, address resolution, and connection - into single step. When using ``dial``, you don't have to worry about - IPv4 vs IPv6 problem. ``httpclient`` now supports IPv6. - -Tool Additions --------------- - -- The ``finish`` tool can now download MingW for you should it not find a - working MingW installation. - - -Compiler Additions ------------------- - -- The name mangling rules used by the C code generator changed. Most of the time - local variables and parameters are not mangled at all anymore. This improves - debugging experience. -- The compiler produces explicit name mangling files when ``--debugger:native`` - is enabled. Debuggers can read these ``.ndi`` files in order to improve - debugging Nim code. - - -Language Additions ------------------- - -- The ``try`` statement's ``except`` branches now support the binding of a -caught exception to a variable: - -.. code-block:: nim - try: - raise newException(Exception, "Hello World") - except Exception as exc: - echo(exc.msg) - -This replaces the ``getCurrentException`` and ``getCurrentExceptionMsg()`` -procedures, although these procedures will remain in the stdlib for the -foreseeable future. This new language feature is actually implemented using -these procedures. - -In the near future we will be converting all exception types to refs to -remove the need for the ``newException`` template. - -- A new pragma ``.used`` can be used for symbols to prevent -the "declared but not used" warning. More details can be -found `here <http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#pragmas-used-pragma>`_. -- The popular "colon block of statements" syntax is now also supported for - ``let`` and ``var`` statements and assignments: - -.. code-block:: nim - template ve(value, effect): untyped = - effect - val - - let x = ve(4): - echo "welcome to Nim!" - -This is particularly useful for DSLs that help in tree construction. - - -Language changes ----------------- - -- The ``.procvar`` annotation is not required anymore.

Questions and Answers -=========================================== - - -General FAQ -=========== - - -.. container:: standout - - What is Nim? - ------------ - - Nim (formerly known as "Nimrod") is a statically typed, imperative programming - language that tries to give the programmer ultimate power without compromises - on runtime efficiency. - This means it focuses on compile-time mechanisms in all their - various forms. Beneath a nice infix/indentation based syntax with a - powerful (AST based, hygienic) macro system lies a semantic model that supports - a soft realtime GC on thread local heaps. Asynchronous message passing is used - between threads, so no "stop the world" mechanism is necessary. An unsafe - shared memory heap is also provided for the increased efficiency that results - from that model. - - - -.. .. container:: standout - -.. Why should I use Nim? -.. --------------------- - -.. It's a conservative language in a sense that we stick to features that have -.. proven themselves for larger scale programming. But it's revolutionary by -.. the features which have been laid on top. - -.. One of Nim's goals is to increase developer productivity without sacrificing -.. the produced software's stability. The way that this is done is by providing - -.. Depending on your use case. - -.. Nim is one of the few programming languages in the world which allows you to - - -.. The language inventor describes it as the ultimate programming language -.. with features which make it perfect for just about any problem. - -.. container:: standout - - Why yet another programming language? - ------------------------------------- - - Nim is one of the very few *programmable* statically typed languages, and - one of the even fewer that produces native binaries that require no - runtime or interpreter. - - -.. container:: standout - - What have been the major influences in the language's design? - ------------------------------------------------------------- - - The language borrows heavily from (in order of impact): Modula 3, Delphi, Ada, - C++, Python, Lisp, Oberon. - - -.. container:: standout - - What is Nim's take on concurrency? - ---------------------------------- - - Nim primarily focusses on thread local (and garbage collected) heaps and - message passing between threads. Each thread has its own GC, so no - "stop the world" mechanism is necessary. An unsafe shared memory heap is also - provided. - - Future versions will additionally include a GC "per thread group" - and Nim's type system will be enhanced to accurately model this shared - memory heap. - - -.. container:: standout - - How is Nim licensed? - -------------------- - - The Nim compiler and the library are MIT licensed. - This means that you can use any license for your own programs developed with - Nim. - - -.. container:: standout - - How stable is Nim? - ------------------ - - The compiler is in development and some important features are still missing. - However, the compiler is quite stable already: It is able to compile itself - and a substantial body of other code. Until version 1.0.0 is released, - minor incompatibilities with older versions of the compiler will be introduced. - - -.. container:: standout - - How fast is Nim? - ---------------- - Benchmarks show it to be comparable to C. Some language features (methods, - closures, message passing) are not yet as optimized as they could and will be. - The only overhead Nim has over C is the GC which has been tuned - for years but still needs some work. - - -.. container:: standout - - What about JVM/CLR backends? - ---------------------------- - - JVM/CLR support is not in the nearest plans. However, since these VMs support FFI to C - it should be possible to create native Nim bridges, that transparenlty generate all the - glue code thanks to powerful metaprogramming capabilities of Nim. - - -.. container:: standout - - What about editor support? - -------------------------- - - - Native Nim Editor: https://github.com/nim-lang/Aporia - - Visual Studio Code: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kosz78.nim - - Emacs: https://github.com/nim-lang/nim-mode - - Vim: https://github.com/zah/nimrod.vim/ - - Scite: Included - - Gedit: The `Aporia .lang file <https://github.com/nim-lang/Aporia/blob/master/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/nim.lang>`_ - - jEdit: https://github.com/exhu/nimrod-misc/tree/master/jedit - - TextMate: Available in bundle installer (`Repository <https://github.com/textmate/nim.tmbundle>`_) - - Sublime Text: Available via Package Control (`Repository <https://github.com/Varriount/NimLime>`_) - - LiClipse: http://www.liclipse.com/ (Eclipse based plugin) - - Howl: Included - - Notepad++: Available via `plugin <https://github.com/jangko/nppnim/releases>`_ - - -.. container:: standout - - Why is it named ``proc``? - ------------------------- - - *Procedure* used to be the common term as opposed to a *function* which is a - mathematical entity that has no side effects. It is planned to have ``func`` - as syntactic sugar for ``proc {.noSideEffect.}`` and ``func`` is already a - keyword.
