199 :: noob question about c++ -> nimrod and asmjs

• chew (orginal) [2013-08-11T23:02:02+02:00] view original

  Hi everybody, I'm trying to find a good system language, my only experience with c++ was almost 10 years ago and since then I've been using high level languages like haskell,f#,scala... now I'm interesting in learn much more about system languages and nimrod looks pretty nice...I don't know much about it but how is the interoperability with c++/c anyone has a simple example??... I'm interesting in know if anyone has tried compile nimrod code to javascript using emscripten or even asmjs...thanks so much

  Hello and welcome!

  Interoperability with C is very good since Nimrod compiles to C. Wrapping C++ code is a bit more complex but is also possible by compiling to C++. For examples of wrapping C code take a look at any of the wrappers in Nimrod's stdlib: https://github.com/Araq/Nimrod/tree/master/lib/wrappers and here is an example of wrapping C++ code: https://github.com/Araq/Nimrod/blob/master/examples/c%2B%2Biface/irrlichtex.nim.

  Nimrod has its own javascript backend so emscripten is unnecessary. It's as simple as 'nimrod js file.nim'. Example JS project here.

  Hope this helps!
