parinfer-rust VS Nim

Compare parinfer-rust vs Nim and see what are their differences.

Nim

Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority). (by nim-lang)

  • neovim plugins that have improved your workflow
    20 projects | /r/neovim | 23 Oct 2022
    parinfer-rust, while LISP only for reasons, is still absolutely amazing overall for its performance compared to the Lua version. I do wish there were more bracketing/scope algorithms out there for other languages. With a parinfer plugin, you only need to start a bracket for it to close what it believes is your scope. Great for enclosing things in functions
  • Why is parinfer not as good as I think it is?
    1 project | /r/Clojure | 11 Aug 2022
    While my main daily driver is also IntelliJ, and also for Parinfer, I have found that Neovim + Rust-parinfer works remarkably well.
  • Why Rust ?

    Another example where rust's benefits show is something like parfiner. Currently I'm using my own ffi interface to https://github.com/eraserhd/parinfer-rust, and it feels significantly faster than the plain-lua version I had before. Getting to write the whole thing in rust just makes life easier and simpler

  • Can vim become an emacs or is it already one or not?

    My personal configuration is also written in fennel if you would like to take. look: https://github.com/shaunsingh/nyoom.nvim. Neovim's come a long way in what you can do with it. Fennel has a macro system as with any lisp, so you can make the syntax feel right at home with emacs https://github.com/shaunsingh/nyoom.nvim/tree/main/fnl/macros. You can even create dynamic-module like integrations with rust programs (see https://github.com/shaunsingh/nyoom.nvim/blob/main/fnl/parinfer/init.fnl, interacting with https://github.com/eraserhd/parinfer-rust/tree/master/src)

  • Why Clojure in a single Orgpad diagram
    1 project | /r/Clojure | 28 Dec 2021
    Clojure is an amazing language, and so is Rust. In fact, I think learning both of them is a wonderful way to introduce ourselves to such a broad range of programming ideas that it covers over half of the seven programing ur-languages. It's even worth investigating the differences in the way these languages have developed over time (Clojure being Rich's project and Rust taking a community approach). These ideas aren't in opposition to each other. If they were, the indispensable editor plugin I use to write Clojure wouldn't exist for crying out loud.

    Have you seen an excellent parinfer-rust implementation of Parinfer? It's quite fast and can be integrated with other editors, like Emacs, Kakoune, Vim, etc. I think you can try to see if your integration passes their tests.

    I am currently using parinfer. It’s not exactly minimal, but it doesn’t require much configuration and doesn’t have any special keybinds.

    I think the right answer to your question would be NimLang[0]. In reality, if you're seeking to use this in any enterprise context, you'd most likely want to select the subset of C++ that makes sense for you or just use C#.

  • Ask HN: Interest in a Rust-Inspired Language Compiling to JavaScript?
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Dec 2023
    I don't think it's a rust-inspired language, but since it has strong typing and compiles to javascript, did you give a look at nim [0] ?

    For what it takes, I find the language very expressive without the verbosity in rust that reminds me java. And it is also very flexible.

    You better off with using a compiled language.

    If you interested in a language that's compiled, fast, but as easy and pleasant as Python - I'd recommend you take a look at [Nim](https://nim-lang.org).

    And to prove what Nim's capable of - here's a cool repo with 100+ cli apps someone wrote in Nim: [c-blake/bu](https://github.com/c-blake/bu)

  • Mojo is now available on Mac
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Oct 2023
    Chapel has at least several full-time developers at Cray/HPE and (I think) the US national labs, and has had some for almost two decades. That's much more than $100k.

    Chapel is also just one of many other projects broadly interested in developing new programming languages for "high performance" programming. Out of that large field, Chapel is not especially related to the specific ideas or design goals of Mojo. Much more related are things like Codon (https://exaloop.io), and the metaprogramming models in Terra (https://terralang.org), Nim (https://nim-lang.org), and Zig (https://ziglang.org).

    But Chapel is great! It has a lot of good ideas, especially for distributed-memory programming, which is its historical focus. It is more related to Legion (https://legion.stanford.edu, https://regent-lang.org), parallel & distributed Fortran, ZPL, etc.
