INim

4 625 2.8 Nim

Interactive Nim Shell / REPL / Playground

Project mention: Nim | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-06

- `nim secret`[0]: code is interpreted with Nim's vm, it is limited to compile-time (e.g. no C/C++).
- `nlvm r`[1]: nlvm backend supports JIT compilation and repl-like interface was added in latest release.
- `inim`[2]: supports all nim code, but it's not really a true repl. It adds code to a file and recompiles it (you can see the source file with `ctrl+x`). I'd recommend to use it with clang compiler, because it's a bit faster than gcc in my experience. It's the best option right now. And I use it almost daily.
First two options have rudimentary input system. But you can get command history and left-right navigation by wrapping them with rlwrap (should be preinstalled on most *nixes): `rlwrap nim secret`, `rlwrap nlvm r`.
There are plans to support incremental compilation for the next Nim release (it is currently broken). That would improve inim and other repls experience significantly.

Project mention: Nim v2.0 Released | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-01

Congratulations to everyone involved and the entire Nim community!
Nim has been my language of choice for the past decade and I'm really happy with the new features in Nim 2.0. Some of them are real gamechangers for my projects. For example, default values for objects theoretically allow me to make Norm[1] work with object types along with object instances. And the new overloadable enums is something Karkas [2] wouldn't be possible at all (it's still WIP though).
