If you need it to be in 1 file, maybe you could try something like this?
#[
testing, put your dirty unprintable string here
]#
const s = staticRead("main.nim")[3..49]
echo s
Run
Output:
testing, put your dirty unprintable string here
Run
The compressed code is embedded into the block comment. The program
`staticRead`'s itself and takes a slice to get only the stuff inside the
comment. You are then free to decompress it and use it to generate the real
code at compile time.
