3127 :: Editor profiles fo Nim

• jzakiya (orginal) [2017-08-27T18:58:11+02:00] view original

  I mostly use the KDE Kate and Atom editors for code writing and notice they don't seem to have Nim profiles for .nim files. Do you know editors that do, and have editor profiles been something the devs have on their todo list?

  I only used Atom to try Julia so I can't say. Daily, I used vim, it does have Nim plugin.

  See this document on the Nim wiki.

  As far as I know, the most advanced Nim development environment so far is VSCode + this extension.

  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. It would be nice to have a features table comparing what various editors / IDEs can do for Nim...

  I'm pretty sure you are correct. At the very least, VSCode is quite easy to set up for Nim, and works well.

  The only thing I can't get working well is the debugging. I've managed to set it up so that I can make breakpoints for Nim programs within VSCode, but I can't find a way to look at any variables. I assume it is because of the variable name problem that is present when using gdb. Has anyone had any success getting Nim debugging working within Code, and if so, how?

  Regarding a table of what editors can do with regard to Nim integration, see here: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Editor-Support

  As this is a GitHub wiki, anybody can feel free to update and ammend the entry with any other plugins/editors as they see fit.

  Notepad++ from version 7.5 has embedded support for .nim files (syntax highlighting and code folding), BTW in release notes for 7.5 Nim still is called Nimrod :)
