7027 :: How exactly do i start?

• CHEEMS96 (orginal) [2020-11-03T18:51:53+01:00] view original

  Hi guys, I'm new here and I'd like to contribute to the nim project. I'm just starting to use SpaceVim after deciding that i wasn't going to spend eternity trying to configure my neovim files to make it an IDE (I'm kinda new to vim anyway but I'm learning quickly). Since nim isn't as popular, I'll have to write language plugins in order for me to test it out on vim so that i can write language bindings and stuff. what can i start on as a newbie and how do the rules work? What's the system of governance here?

  https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/contributing.html some issues have been tagged as a good fit for first time contributors: look at https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22

  as for editor, sublime + nimlime works fine, others would recommend visual studio code, etc

  That's cool. I just now switched to spacemacs after getting frustrated with vim. I'll figure that out later. Emacs is much easier to use. I plan on understanding the nim syntax so that i can help with the bugs and stuff.
