11277 :: nim2_ide: Notepad++ plug-in (IDE for Nim lang)

  Hi,

  I wrote in Nim a Notepad++ plug-in that provides IDE features via nimsuggest etc.

  Also I pushed the limit on "syntax highlighting".

  I used Notepad++ a lot for a long time to program in Perl.

  Will you make the dll open source?

  Right now? I haven’t made my mind.

  But maybe some day.

  I love it when people update old posts like this showing that a project is alive and well! (No irony here!)

  Sorry, this doesn't look trustworthy enough. Only a compiled plugin is distributed, no code, no license, no other activity in the GitHub account, no other visible forum/community interactions.

  Distributing a binary through GitHub is a known deception tactic used by bad actors to provide legitimacy to malware.

  Also, If I were OK with closed source binaries I wouldn't use Notepad++.

  Sorry, this seems like a great project but it just looks bad.
