I have started writing a Nim Programming Cookbook similar to those in Python, Perl etc.,
The website is http://nim-cookbook.btbytes.com/ . The source code to the cookbook is on github - https://github.com/btbytes/nim-cookbook/
Please do share what topics you would like to see in the cookbook.
PRs welcome!
You don't need to declare a tuple type here: http://nim-cookbook.btbytes.com/dsalgo.html It can be done with:
let address = ("Royal Rd", "Kingville", 11234)
let (s,c,z) = address
echo s
echo c
echo z
Ideally: One of the core devs puts a mediawiki instance under the nim-lang.org server.
But failing that, Wikia is a very nice place for starting and maintaining community wikis, eg:
http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Bleach_Wiki
Edit: Should I take initiative and start it myself?
I don't want to steal anyone's thunder, or do something that's too controvercial amongst the Nim community :-)
@wizzardx, please, go ahead !
I think your initiative (following the idea of the cookbook concept of @nimboolean) is completely valid
Anyway, @nimboolean already posted some interesting content at https://github.com/btbytes/nim-cookbook/. So I think we would have to transcribe what's there for the new Wiki
Cheers !
IMO wikia is pretty bad because it includes ads and is overall very bloated.
We used to have mediawiki (8+ years ago :)) but it attracted too many spammers.
As for the cookbook, awesome job! Please add a link to it on the Nim website (by creating a PR).
Hmm, then I'll put that on hold for now :-)
Already created the wikia, but I'll see if I can nuke it.
Update: Looks like I can't delete the wiki directly!
(I think this is for good reason; on a case by case basis - so that eg, rogue admins can't take their community hostage or whatever).
Have made an official request to wikia to delete it, opening ticket #349088 on their system.
It should hopefully be deleted within 2 business days.
Wikia wiki is currently over here, but should hopefully disappear soon:
