I know it has been posted in the Nimony progress thread already, but in case anybody out there didn't notice...

Nimony 0.2.0 is out: https://nim-lang.github.io/nimony-website/version0_2.html

Wow, thank you for all your hard work on Nim 3.0. It always felt so far away—but with this new release, it feels like we’re finally getting closer. Thank you for continuing to improve this great language you’ve created.

Thank you! There are still so many innovations coming, it'll be incredible! :-)

I haven’t looked thoroughly or attempted to use Nimony yet, but if it still remains pleasant to write in (as someone who isn’t a professional developer) and gets what I use Nim for done properly while also allowing for better ways to handle things I already do, I’m all for it. Keep up the good work and here’s to Nim 3.0!!!

Whoa, thanks for your hard work! The first preview is finally out!

Exciting. Not much time for recreational programming these days, but I await a stable release with baited breath. It's great that the post linked uses Raylib, that's one of the most fun ways to use the language, and a great example of C lib wrapping.

Why? import std / syncio

var my_list : seq[int] = @[1, 2, 3] my_list.add 4 echo len(my_list) echo my_list

echo delegates to write and there is no write implementation for seq[int]. To find out what the standard library has, consult the manual.

May i ask you what is behind (beyond) the project? Just a codebase (a deep one) revision ? What do you want to get afterall? If there is a link (to some article or blogpost) please shere it with me

Araq (orginal) [2025-11-11T09:26:32+01:00] view original

I don't understand your question. What part of "Nimony v0.2 — early preview of Nim 3.0's compiler" is hard to comprehend? Blog post is here but it's a bit outdated.

DIzer (orginal) [2025-11-11T09:38:42+01:00] view original

No I just wanted to get the motivations (ideas) behind the WHOLE project and i got it - thanks for the link

Congratulations for the first beta release of Nimony! Cloned the repository and compiled using Nim 2.2.6 Looks like the compilation succeeded on my Ubuntu 24.04.3. I struggled a bit to find the correct compilation command. nimony c -r file.nim and nimony -r c file.nim commands work but:


nimony
too few command line arguments
# Why is it not the help printing?

nimony --help gives the -r or --run option like in Nim. It is not a command. Therefore:


nimony -r test_nimony.nim
command expected

More surprisingly:


nimony c test_nimony.nim # Contains a hello_world

Outputs nothing, exit code is 0 (success), no binary seems to have been produced. No a.out, no test_nimony. The test_nimony.nim file is unchanged. Where are the binaries in this case ?

Araq (orginal) [2025-12-01T16:00:49+01:00] view original

The binaries are in nimcache.

I tried to build nimony and it was sucdcessful. But on compiling a program, it failed.
