7031 :: First Nim package: Euler angle command line utility. Feedback appreciated!

• kamek (orginal) [2020-11-04T20:03:28+01:00] view original

  I recently got interested in Nim and have been reading the manual. Anxious to get my hands dirty, I decided to re-implement one of my C++ projects in Nim. It is a simple command line utility that converts Euler angles to rotation matrices and unit quaternions.

  Project is here: https://github.com/kam3k/euler-nim

  Because I don't know anyone personally that uses Nim, I have no way to get feedback about my code. Specifically, I'm looking for chances to make my code more idiomatic, learn about techniques and best practices, etc. that I may have missed going through the manual. Or even language or standard library functions that I could have used to simplify things.

  Any comments at all would be immensely helpful. It's quite a small project and shouldn't take long to read. For what I'm asking, I don't think much background knowledge in rotations is necessary.

  Thank you in advance for your time.

  I have looked at your code. I have written similar conversions for https://github.com/treeform/vmath. Nothing stands out as bad to me. Good job.

  @kamek why not use cligen to ease cmdline processing? https://github.com/c-blake/cligen

  Thanks for the suggestion, that package looks good. To be honest, I wanted to stick to the core language and the standard library. Just want to get experience with what's available out of the box before exploring other packages.
