2007 :: Nim repls

• Mgeorge (orginal) [2016-02-04T12:18:13+01:00] view original

  Hi everybody!

  I'm new to Nim and I was wondering, what's the current state of Nim repls and is there one I could use to get familiar with the language?

  Maybe I could have found an answer without asking here, but the topic of Nim repls seems confused, and I won't have the time for some days...

  You may see IRC logs from 01-02-1016: There is nimsecret and nrpl. Never tried myself.

  > 16:30:40 mahasamoot interactive (repl) mode in .16? I'm trying to learn Nim, for which repl is very helpful, I used this koch option: "-d:useLinenoise use the linenoise library for interactive mode" however, nim i doesn't work --help / --advanced doesn't say a thing about interactive. > 16:31:16 Araq mahasamoot: it's 'nim secret' now because the REPL is so poor ;-) > 16:31:43 Araq but it exists and perhaps it's good enough for learning Nim > 16:31:53 * filcuc quit (Quit: KVIrc 4.2.0 Equilibrium http://www.kvirc.net/) > 16:32:13 reactormonk mahasamoot, https://github.com/wheineman/nrpl > 16:34:50 mahasamoot Araq: I'm sorry to hear that. I'll try it out. Seeing what something does is often better than reading about it. > 16:35:35 mahasamoot reactormonk: thanks for the tip. Is nrpl better than nim secret? > 16:35:52 reactormonk mahasamoot, it's a wrapper around nim -r c, not really a repl > 16:36:34 mahasamoot oh
