  • How can I add graphics to my nim program?

    If the video example does not work, you can use the examples projects in the nim SDL repository. When ex101_init.nim works, there is no reason the video example does not work. If you have further issues, do not hesitate to share a minimal working example with your detailed configuration (Nim compiler version, command line you used, file directory, libraries installed) on the forum.nim-lang.org
  • Some forum software written in Rust

    Obviously forums aren't as popular as they used to be, so this topic might not be of interest to many. For folks that want to run a forum, they'd most certainly go with Discourse (Ruby), Flarum (PHP), Xenforo (PHP), NodeBB (Javascript), Nimforum (Nim) and maybe Casnode (Go)

  • How the SQLite Virtual Machine Works
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Sep 2022
    "embedded" can mean a few different things so that's a bit confusing for me, but if the intent was "show me places sqlite is used as a database backend for user-facing web software", the Nim forum (https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum) uses sqlite as its database backend.

    uses sqlite, is actively improved, they claim the nim language makes small cross-platform binaries but none for this release it seems.

  • Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database?
    19 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Apr 2022
    Many of the replies here attest to the simplicity and fast performance of SQLite particularly for serving pages or data. But how well does SQLite fare in concurrent write/insert situations?

    Although SQLite is not designed for this type of scenario, this discussion higlights there's a strong demand for a concurrent client/server RDMS that is simple, performant and easy to deploy? PostgreSQL is not simple or easy to delploy. Hence the appeal of SQlite.

    For example, could SQLite power a discussion forum of moderate (or more) activity? The Nim language forum is powered by SQLite, but activity in the forum is fairly low [1]

    Between the simplicity of SQLite and the complex, heavyweight that is PostgreSQL, there is a chasm between these database opposites. (Another poster mentions the concurrent Firebird RDMS [2] as an less heavyweight alternative to PostgreSQL.)

  • Optimizing GoAWK with a bytecode compiler and virtual machine
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Feb 2022
    Instead of interpreters, if one has less of a "must be a full featured prog.lang" mentality and a fast compiler like Go or Nim [1] (or is willing to wait, for slow optimizing compiles to apply against big data sets) then an end-to-end simpler design for "one-liners" (or similarly simple programs) is the whole program generator. Maybe "big IFs", but also maybe not.

    To back up my simplicity claim, consider rp [2] -- like 60 non-comment/import/signature lines of code for the generator. Generated programs are even smaller. But, you can deploy gcc or clang or whatever against them and make fast libraries in the host language.

    Why, if you are willing to write those little generation command options in C99 then you can compile the harness with tcc [3] in about 1 millisecond which is faster than most interpreter start-up times - byte code or otherwise - and can link against gcc -O3 (or whatever) helper libraries.

    Anyway, I only write this because in my experience few people realize how much development cost they buy into when then insist on a full featured prog.lang, not to criticize Ben's work. You also make users need to learn quirks of that new language instead of the quirks of a "harness" which may be fewer.
