How can I get Nim to be supported on Jed?

Would I have to develop my own extension for it?

"This page was last updated Nov 26, 2017" -- probably even NimEdit would be more convenient than this one.

I don't know much about JED but it seems like there are extensions out there (For some reason, they're called "modes"), you might be able to make one based on an already-existing Python mode. (Since the two have quite similar syntax)

The editor is quite up to date.

Does NimEdit have its own Wikipedia page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JED_(text_editor)

😜

Lol, why would anybody care about that?

Just kidding.

It's a nice light-weight editor. I think what @penguinite said would be the way to go.
