I already answered that question above. Knoppix is Debian based. Try `sudo
apt-get install nim` from a terminal.
Also no need to start and end with a greeting everytime ;)
I have the KNOPPIX LINUX Computer online.
I am online with LINUX now.
How can i find the package NIM ?

An optimistic but reasonable growth goal for Nim's takeoff is a threefold
popularity increase per year for the next few years. If that was so, it would
roughly mean this a year from now:
* 10,000 [github stars](https://github.com/showcases/programming-languages).
* 10,000 [+"nim
Hi ,
Agent means to be a flexible tool between in some programming strategies.
For example : Application needs a external program with features that are not
so easy
to program in the main Apps language that is used.
or a interface app etc.
As i can see from your kindly answers in this
I have heard that 2017 will already be the year of Linux on the desktop, so Nim
might have to wait one more year.
I see that i have i386 System
Wicked sense of gallows humor, @Ar!
> When we gonna have a stable api for 1.0 ?
Over under bet: Nim 1.0 or "Winds Of Winter"? @Ar's O/U: Nim 1.0 or "A
Dream Of Spring"
Well, maybe start here, they have a lot of starting GUI tutorials -- not one
for Nim currently:

Thanks.
Yes i am new in LINUX.
Not new in programming but
i have made the programming strategy ready in the last 2 years.
So i am interested in a flexible language as a agent language.
For example : type C Code and insert that code but use another GUI library as
GTK.
I dont like GTK and
Yes, at (you may also try the unstable one):
[https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/nim/download](https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/nim/download)
You may also find other packages there. Just search for them. Sometimes you
have to download all the dependencies you are missing as
Just try them all (not only libui) and see what you like best. Create a simple
_hello word_ button. You will also learn that most GUI libraries are not that
different from each other. May be only some features.
The same counts for different programming languages as well. New paradigms are
more
Libui
Access Granted
> Do i have to learn a new GUI language for that programming ?
When you have experience in GTK3 programming in C already, you can just start
with GTK3 and Nim, it is very similar. You can even convert C GTK3 code to Nim
with the tool c2nim, do some modifications, and are done.
But to be
Yes. But for most of them you are actually using and learning the same
interface as the one you would use when using C, Python etc.
I am not sure if you are new to programming. In modern programming it is best
to be flexible about learning new libraries. The way all the different GUI
libraries
HI again ,
i have a windows computer that is online.
Is it possible to get there a .deb package with NIM ?
WBR Menno hexo
And of course nimx and QML.
And note that latest GTK 3.20 wrapper is at
[https://github.com/ngtk3](https://github.com/ngtk3), I will delete the old
3.15 wrapper in the next days...
`lim v -> 1` or buffer overflow / out of memory :D
You can also use `libui`. A simple cross platform UI library. I found a Nim
wrapper at (by Araq):
[https://github.com/nim-lang/ui](https://github.com/nim-lang/ui)
If you need a UI for use in a game or very interactive application you may try
out a Immediate Mode Graphical User Interface. Have
depending on what you want, there are wrappers for
[GTK2](https://github.com/nim-lang/gtk2)
[GTK3](https://github.com/StefanSalewski/nim-gtk3) , and
[AntTweakBar](https://github.com/krux02/nimAntTweakBar). The last one is just
meant to be used as an overlay for game development and therefore
I updated my comment above.
If the computer is offline. Download the packages from a computer with an
internet connection and store them on a USB drive.
In Debian and Ubuntu you can use `apt-get download nim`. Store the downloaded
files on a USB drive. On the offline computer, after mounting
Hello Menno,
To add a directory inside the path you can do `export ${PATH}:/some/directory`.
Modify `/some/directory` to the directory where the `nim` binary (executable)
resides.
You can also add this line inside the hidden files (every file or dir that has
a dot . in front) named `.profile`
Thank you.
You mean it is better to make a normal install with the command
apt-get install nim ?
My Linux computer is a offline computer.
Have to make it online in the next weeks.
I try further the offline installation a while.
Then swiitsch to the official Online installation procedure.
Hi ,
i am new in Linux and have installed the NIM package with sh bulid.sh in a
folder
Now i want to start the command line compiler. Dont know how.
When i type nim -v in the terminal it is not shown.
Seems i have to set the PATH to the system. export etc.
How can i set the path correct ?
Tnx. I read the document `generics.txt` before I started using the `concept`
keyword.
Somehow I was under the impression concepts could be parameterized for me to
refer to the contained value. Of course a container type may not even have
`value` (it could be a function type or have a pair of
Hmmm
var v = ".9"
while true:
echo "Before v0", v, " we need v0", v, ".9"
add v, ".9"
Either you are missing some dlls or for some reason ld can't find them:
C:/Nim/nim152/dist/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.9.1/../../../../x86
_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: "cannot find -lgdi32"
Elaborating on ambiguity.
import libfoo
import libbar
open() # open is coming from foo.
Later down the road libbar decided to add proc open(). Second developer (Not
the original author of above code) needed to use the latest version of libbar ,

I already used the edit button once. I really do like it.
When we gonna have a stable api for 1.0 ?
Can you tell me what you think the problem might be? What do you think might
become troubling with implicit imports?
I am a lurker with general interest in programming languages. I would sincerely
appreciate if any veterans here or @Araq could provide links (forum or outside)
that discusses the reasoning behind the design decisions on the nim language
grammer or code conventions.
Taking import for example
I spend some time on this 'edit' button for the documentation. Would be nice if
it were used for minor edits. It's fine to start reddit discussions about major
topics (like "how to classify macro usage?") but minor improvements can be done
directly. The 'edit' button produces pull requests so
How do you **"classify"** templates/macros?
* lifting existing procs to handle new data types
* reducing repetition of code
* lazy evaluation ([eliminate
evaluation](http://forum.nim-lang.org///nim-lang.org/docs/tut2.html#templates)

* DSL handling
