Show HN: C-ocoa, Write iOS/macOS apps in any language, with a generated C API
Interesting project, though I'd rather just use Obj-C. I guess if you wanna use it in something like JavaScript or Lua it'd make sense to have C as a bindi g layer.

Interesting, I've been using a similar project for Nim lately: https://github.com/treeform/windy
It's surprising how simple Obj-C interaction is compared to Java JNI or something. Here's the Obj-C interop for Windy:

How to detect and even save key presses
I used https://github.com/treeform/windy in my text editor. It's a pure Nim library like SDL. For separate keypresses I used a state machine where every keypress advances the state and when it reaches an end state the action performed. Works pretty well ^

Simple Gamepad Support
I made it because I really like pixie/boxy/windy combo, but there is no gamepad support built-in.

Is Fidget usable for implementation of 3D rendering?
The author Fidget actually has a number of other great libraries that are part of the rendering stack. Notably, Pixie for text and shape rendering in 2D, Boxy for rendering textures to the GPU via opengl, and then Windy for an OS window context and user events, and a number of other libraries related to 3D rendering.

I think everything depends on the scale of your ideas, see https://johanpeitz.itch.io/picocad You can make something similar with Nico https://github.com/ftsf/nico :)

Best ways to make your first contribution to Nim language
Concise and readable, small binaries, fast compile times, native performance, zero-overhead interop lets you reuse code in C, C++, JS, Objective-C, Python... Does a programming language have these fantastic features? Of course, Nim language does have the features I have been dreaming about. And what is the goal of Nim language? Simply put, the goal is "one language to rule them all", from shell scripting to web frontend and backend, scientific computing, deep learning, blockchain client, gamedev, embedded.

Raspberry Pi 4 OpenBSD based home computer/gaming console
Something to look at if you want to encourage simple game development is supporting PICO-8 [0], or the compiled Nim version Nico [1].

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).
NimForUE - Nim plugin for UE5 with native performance, hot reloading and full interop that sits between C++ and Blueprints. This allows you to do common UE workflows like for example to extend any UE class in Nim and extending it again in Blueprint if you wish so without restarting the editor. The final aim is to be able to do in Nim what you can do in C++
