Hey guys,

Im considering integrating NimScript in NimForUE to improve the workflow and potentially build a REPL on top of it. I was able to make it run and to import modules. However, I fail to see how can load it with an importcpp function. Any idea where to look? Did a quick look at nimeval.nim but there isnt anything that could there

Thanks, Juan

There is some experimental support for importing of native functions inside the VM but there is no way to make it import C++ methods. You can extend the VM though with custom native code that can call into C++. Look at "tests/compilerapi/tcompilerapi.nim" if you haven't already.

Yes, I was looking at it.

Beef pointed me on right direction on Discord

Thanks!
