Hey all !
I'm on windows and I'm constantly finding that nimsuggest eats a TON of cpu. Sometimes literally to the point where I cant render web pages. How do I remove nimsuggest?
PS C:\Users\...\Desktop> .\find-nimsuggest.ps1
Found the following nimsuggest process(es):

If that doesn't work just delete nimsuggest from your Nim install (find it with something like Get-Command nimsuggest.exe | Select-Object Source).
