vscode-nim VS cps

You may fare better hooking VSCode to nimlangserver:

https://github.com/saem/vscode-nim#nim-lanugage-server-integ...

nimlangserver is an implementation of Language Server Protocol with the goal to make nim IDE experience more mature. The main difference between nimlangserver and the existing nimlsp is that nimlangserver runs nimsuggest in a separate process and that nimlangserver is using a newly introduced version of nimsuggest v3(see bellow). nimlangserver is currently integrated in VScode via vscode-nim and in Emacs via lsp-mode but adding integraion with other editors should be trivial.

admittedly the editor support is far away from perfect, but that particular issue just sounds like https://github.com/saem/vscode-nim/issues/80

To all those wondering about IDE support , the actively maintained VSCode extension is :

https://github.com/saem/vscode-nim

The default extension suggested by VSCode which have over 43k downloads in un-maintained for Eons and it won't work.

@dom96 can you pin this somewhere on the forum or website ?

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).
