    You don't want nimterop, you want futhark (https://github.com/PMunch/futhark).

    The C FFI Nim library lineage goes c2nim --> nimterop --> something i forgot --> futhark.

  • Why does Nim "wrap" C, rather than allow C code to be pasted directly to .nim files?

    Have a look at Futhark . It does what you are requesting.
  • Current Goals for Nim?

    I'm not sure if Nimterop was created specifically to make Nim more mainstream. We have quite a couple different C/C++ interop tools, from c2nim in the core distribution to something like Futhark which automatically wraps things based on libclang.
  • Nim -- a modern "glue" language like Python
    9 projects | dev.to | 11 Oct 2021
    c2nim is a tool to translate ANSI C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand after the translation process. If you are tired of wrapping C library, you can try futhark which supports "simply import C header files directly into Nim". Similar to futhark, cinterop allows one to interop with C/C++ code without having to create wrappers. nimLUA is a glue code generator to bind Nim and Lua together using Nim's powerful macro. nimpy and nimporter is a bridge between Nim and Python. rnim is a bridge between R and Nim. nimjl is a bridge between Nim and Julia! Last but not least, genny generates a shared library and bindings for many languages such as Python, Node.js, C.
