Hi,
on my company I could use nim but this was unpracticable due to antivirus blocking most of my nim activity (nimble, nimgrep, my compiled executables and so on). Everything is considered a malware... I am working on windows as you could imagine...
But today I had a simple idea: blocked code is compiled by mingw, so if I replace the compiler with clang or zig that maybe could work... and it worked! I downloaded zig and the antivirus finally does not block my compiled executables!
πππππ Yust wanted to share it!
For people reaching here as a search result:
Another way is to add nim, nimble and your project paths to your antivirus' exclusion path.
Assuming Win11 and default security:
Windows Security > Manage Settings > Add or Remove exclusions
Some typical paths:
C:\Users\yourUserId\.nimble
C:\Users\yourUserId\AppData\Local\grabnim
C:\Users\yourUserId\your\path\to\nimProjects
