Hi all!

First post... After waiting about nine months for Nim in Action to finally be 
delivered to me, I got it 3 days ago. In the 3rd chapter, I should start to 
code. So I decided the first thing to do was obviously to install some Nim 
editor (I'm on Win10 x64). Now, after two whole evening, I haven't go a single 
one to work. I tried Aporia, but it seems to be built in x64, when calling 
"nimble install aporia", which according to the doc is the reason it doesn't 
"find the DLLs" even when they are in the path. I also tried the Visual Studio 
extension (which apparently, hasn't been updated for 3 years, and didn't 
compile) and the Notepad++ plugin (which seem to fail because it uses the name 
of an "official plugin"). So far no luck, even when I try to "build it myself". 
I wasn't expecting the "first steps" would be so hard. I guess the "VSCode" 
editor is the "main" one, since it's the first in the list, but since I already 
must have Visual Studio installed, it seemed to me like overkill to bloat my 
drive with VSCode as well just to get "syntax highlight".

So, I'd need some help getting either Aporia or the Notepad++ plugin (which 
also seems "current") to work, unless there is an "easier solution" (I don't 
use Emacs, but I can get by in vim, if all else fails).
