Note the error is basically something you'd encounter here as well:
proc x(): int =
echo "Something"
return 5
x()
Run
This will not compile because nim will throw the same error as you got. The
reasoning is:
If you call a proc that returns an output, the **vast majority** 99% of the
time you actually want the value of that output. Ignoring that output is
_typically_ a user-error. For the cases where it isn't, you have `discard` so
you can explicitly say "I only want to execute this proc, I don't care for the
output".
So to make the example above work, you'd need to explicitly discard the return
from x():
proc x(): int =
echo "Something"
return 5
discard x()
Run
