cps VS godot-nim

This'll get you closer: https://github.com/nim-works/cps

Sorry, I was in a hurry.

Or a neural network DSL or for a self-contained example, einsum:

There has been a more-or-less working CPS implementation for Nim for a few years now,

https://github.com/nim-works/cps

https://github.com/nim-works/cps/tree/master/docs

Nobody seems to care though, as it has gained no traction at all and it has been mostly ignored by the core team.

Ones that have not been mentioned so far:

nlvm is an unofficial LLVM backend: https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm

npeg lets you write PEGs inline in almost normal PEG notation: https://github.com/zevv/npeg

futhark provides for much more automatic C interop: https://github.com/PMunch/futhark

nimpy allows calling Python code from Nim and vice versa: https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy

questionable provides a lot of syntax sugar surrounding Option/Result types: https://github.com/codex-storage/questionable

ratel is a framework for embedded programming: https://github.com/PMunch/ratel

cps allows arbitrary procedure rewriting to continuation passing style: https://github.com/nim-works/cps

chronos is an alternative async/await backend: https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos

zero-functional fixes some inefficiencies when chaining list operations: https://github.com/zero-functional/zero-functional

owlkettle is a declarative macro-oriented library for GTK: https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle

I think the CPS attempt in Nim could do this

https://github.com/nim-works/cps

* Goroutines are probably a lot more easier to use. Work is being done to make Nim even better in that area: https://github.com/nim-works/cps but don't expect it soonish.

* I feel like Go has less 'edge cases', but the Nim compiler is steadily getting more stable, especially consider it's not backed up by a major company!

* Metaprogramming is really powerful, but not beginner friendly. The documentation says use macros when necessary, but personally I don't think that really happens in practice.

The advantages by far outweigh the disadvantages, especially if you are looking for a clean Go alternative(except maaaaaaybeee web application).

and the fifth: https://github.com/disruptek/cps

Since Godot 4 is gonna change their binding system the previous Nim bindings are not gonna work and the maintainers stated that they wont adapt the bindings to Godot 4.

Since Godot 4 is gonna change their binding system the previous [Nim bindings](https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim)

Another option is Nim. Looks and writes like Python but closer to C in performance. It also has static typing so I prefer it for scripting as well.

People have built a few games with the Nim Godot bindings:

There’s also an interesting project to do hot reloading using dlls:

Enu is a 3D live-programming/learning/game development environment written in Nim using Godot 3, godot-nim, and godot_voxel. I use it to run a small local coding club with a group of 12 year olds, and think it is (or at least will be) a great tool for learning to code, and for making games quickly.

It uses a python-like language, is free & open-source (MIT License), has a fantastic GUI creation system, exports to all major OS's, and produces single small binaries. You could eventually incorporate Nim as well, as there are Nim bindings for Godot.

Ant then install the bindings. And thats where I'm a bit lost even after reading Godot docs. Not sure if I'm right, but seems to be necessary to compile Godot?

Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!):

* Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell

* Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library.

* Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue

* Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim

* Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort=

* Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C and C++ interop, you get access to a lot of gamedev libraries!

* Embedded: this is a domain I know very little about but for example https://github.com/elcritch/nesper or https://github.com/PMunch/badger for fun Nim+embedded stuff!

Most of the disadvantages come from tooling and lack of $$$ support.

As for gdnim, it's my framework built on top of godot-nim. https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim-stub

I've renewed my enjoyment of programming through game development (an area I haven't been active in before) and had a great time implementing a Quadtree in GDScript but then the other problem of raw execution speed for any script language made that a bit disappointing as well (it worked well but was only an improvement for larger numbers). So now I'm learning Nim (which has godot-nim bindings) to be able to write really performant code in an easy way.
