For anybody who is interested in converting object pascal to nim, I have
created a fork of pas2nim
[https://github.com/AdrianV/pas2nim](https://github.com/AdrianV/pas2nim) which
parses and converts a big amount of object pascal code:
* class is converted to ref object
* class, object and record can have member procedures and functions. private
declarations are marked without "*"
* class member procedures and functions get an extra self: T parameter
* object and record member procedures and functions get an extra self: var T
parameter
* class, object and record properties are converted to templates which access
the member var or getter, setter
* type procedure of object is converted to {.closure.} - this is not the same
and assignments to var of that type have to be adjusted
* constructors and destructors are converted to normal procs with self param
- but are not working yet - destructors have to wait until nim supports that
* virtual procedures and functions are converted to method
many other things are not working yet like:
* interfaces
* array properties
* ...
have fun
