  Congrats new release!

  I have a little question about the download page. Is the nim e install_tools.nims official recommended way to use nimsuggest from now? (No more supported nimble install nimsuggest?)

  Very awesome! I will enjoy my continued learning of nimrod

  install_tools is for the tar.xz based release. When you build from github, the old ways still apply though nimsuggest in particular has a compile_without_nimble script because nimble doesn't work well with packages that depend on the compiler package.

  Okay. Thanks Araq.

  Congratulations on the release. The search box is really helpful, for big modules (system for example http://nim-lang.org/docs/system.html) i'd like to have the index following the main content the way crystal does, which makes exploring a module more helpful https://crystal-lang.org/api/0.19.3/

• OderWat (orginal) [2016-10-01T15:20:11+02:00] view original

  @Arrrrrrrrr Just want to point out that the "box" in every module does a search over all (indexed) modules and is therefor not just helpful for big modules.

  Installation is failing for me on Windows 8.1 64-bit. The installation proceeds, and then docs fetch fails with a message box with something like 'HTTP://1.4.docs.zip' or close to that. Then I click the batch file on my desktop, and it asks to browse to it. The Nim directory doesn't exist in c:program filesor anywhere for that matter. No errors about failed installation at end of install.

  NEVERMIND: Had to run as administrator! Leaving post for others who might make this simple mistake. Great job!

  On Windows 10, the (64-bit) installer failed for me, too, in the same way as described by eggy above. However, that's only if I accepted the default path of c:\\Program Files\\Nim-0.15.0. If I explicitly choose c:\\Nim as the installation path, though, the installer works as expected and installs everything without requiring Administrator privilege.

  @Araq same for the () operator: it was quite useful in writin the DSL for the React.js bindings

---

• Araq (orginal) [2016-10-04T12:47:58+02:00] view original

  Because these operators need some serious tinkering in the prepasses of templates and generics to work reliably. It took weeks to get a[i] to work reliably (note that it can either mean array access or generic instantiation!) in these contexts and I am quite sure () and . are as much work. "Experimental" does not mean "will be removed" but it means "unlikely to get stable any time soon and will not prevent the release of version 1".

  FYI, the expression is "pulled the trigger". Pulling the plug on something means sending it down the drain and is not a good thing.

  Anyone else have problems with Nimble package manager? I get "Cannot find nimscriptapi.nim" error when trying to download OpenGL or SDL2 packages with Nimble. I haven't had this issue earlier (0.10 -> 0.14.2). Windows 10 x64 and Nim 0.15.0.

• Araq (orginal) [2016-10-08T10:03:14+02:00] view original

  The generated Windows installer has many problems. I will upload a new one very soon. -.-

  Couldn't render post #15933.

• abdulhaq (orginal) [2016-10-09T18:11:25+02:00] view original

  FYI I got nimble to work by building it from source and also I had to run nimble.exe from the checked out directory and not ~/.nimble/...

  Hats off to everyone involved in the nim project and I look forward to discovering more about it....

  Congrats on 0.15 release! lots of fixes and improvement. But i thought , it was mentioned before that 0.14 was latest release before API Stable 0.15? So any plan for API Stable version coming by this year? I want to use Nim on real projects !

---

• Araq (orginal) [2016-10-21T01:32:55+02:00] view original

  I did go through the open list of stdlib issues and IMO there is no need for a "big" stdlib cleanup that will break lots of code. Either way, new releases this year are coming, stability is ever improving and soon the roadmap will better reflect reality.
