Regarding the IDE question, I'd like to point out that VS Code led the field
among popular [development environments in the 2018 Stackoverflow
survey](https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/#development-environments-and-tools),
with Vim leading in the Sysadmin/DevOps category.

I'm very happy to see so much energy in the Nim forum on Nim advocacy but let's
stop throwing mud balls at each other ;).
What was promising in this thread was starting to identify a couple of
audiences that would be interested in Nim (say system programming, embedded
devices, cryptographers, m

I don't think so. I _know_ that many don't want an IDE at all and that many
want to use their favourite edito

This is not code; This is data of some sort.
FLTK's widgets are full on pointers, and coordinates in FLTK-1.3 are at least
32-bit (they were 16-bit in FLTK-1.0 and FLTK-1.1); You might have problems
from the int16<>ptr mismatch, as well as the int16<->int32 mismatch if you ever

@moerm I agree, but the community should improve the vim/sublime/emacs
experience too: things like the @PMunch's LSP effort are going to help with it.
I am also using sublime, so I know how it feels haha
Besides the fact that almost always the large IDEs also join in once a language
already has a solid base and uptake I fully agree with you. Again: My point was
_not_ that the Nim team should create our _own_ IDE. It just so happened to be

@moerm and yet all of those basic IDE features are better served by plugins for
existing IDEs/editors. They are the best bet for "a good IDE for X". The goal

"Often distracted"? We backport fixes to the 0.19
My point wasn't that Nim must have its _own_ IDE. My point was that having an
IDE is a major point wrt uptake and that Nim just happened to have some
considerable effort going into 2 IDEs but left them unfinished.
Well noted, my line isn't what _I_ personally like or want but what is
generally
Also, no modern language was stopped by the lack of a special IDE: Go and Rust
got IDE-s from other companies(JetBrains etc) after they became popular,
Elixir/Clojure don't really have their own IDE-s IMO. I also prefer e.g.
Sublime compared to VSCode, but honestly a lot of the existing IDE-s ar
VSC isn't an IDE but a pimped up editor (and btw. a major bloatware).
Aphoria, for instance, was (meant to be) an IDE.
@moerm I am kinda glad not much effort is being put in Aporia/NimEdit: writing
an actually good IDE/editor is a project comparable to Nim/its entire ecosystem
in complexity and manwork. It's like deciding to invent a bike and then
inventing a car just to ride the bike in it: it's cool, but it's

You respond: "Yes there is, use VS Code."
Here is your problem:

# ...
proc ButtonClick (button: ptr FL_WIDGET, arg: ptr any):**cint {.cdecl.}** =
Run
In other words, `Fl_Callback` is not cdecl and its return type is void while
`ButtonClick` is
So? We do not at all disagree on that. You basically just worded differently
what I meant (modulo some minor points like "imperative" vs. "imperative with
some functional").
I'm _not_ for relaxing those points. Quite the contrary. I was addressing
another question, namely whether fully implemen
