  A couple of days into porting my database to Nim, the project stops compiling:

  Is there a bug database or any form of non-commercial support? Where do I post my example (<100 LOC in several files)? I am myself a developer capable of implementing languages. Studying Nim's internal structures can take months, but I am willing to invest a week if it helps the project.

  There is always the IRC channel and this forum and the mailing list for non-commercial support, as well as the bug tracker here: https://github.com/Araq/Nim/issues

  You don't have to fix it on your own, just report it properly and tell me it's "blocking" and it'll get fixed as fast as possible. That said, this error message is usually just a very unfriendly way of saying "you wrote 'var x = int' intead of 'var x: int'".
