This isn't nearly as sophisticated, but you can do something like this with a
regular getter/setter too. It won't work for a plain variable, but if it makes
sense to tie it to an object, you can do this:
# robots.nim
type
Robot* = object
name: string
proc `name=`*(self: var Robot, name: string) =
self.name = name
echo "Robot name has been changed"
proc name*(self: Robot): string = self.name
# main.nim
import robots
var robot = Robot()
robot.name = "Dave"
echo "Our robot is named ", robot.name
Run
