Nothing at all. Think of it as a free gift. I'll ship it for free ( if your in
the EU ). German is cheapest for me :)
Better to give it to another person then me just putting it on the bookshelf
and not using it.

Ok. Send me a mail at nim_
As i decided to focus purely on Haxe instead of Nim, my copy of Nim In Action
book will be useless to me.
So when the physical book is printed and shipped to me in Europe ( 4 months
until it ships ), i can forward it to somebody else. Only EU programmers
because of shipping costs and stuff.

They have a place ... I still think all caps is perfectly reasonable for
constants. Variable & constants mixing makes things more difficult if they all
look the same. And marking variables like cFoo, vFoo is just silly.

It looks interesting but i reserve some doubt about having a 3th party hosting
the documentation. And it also raises questions about synchronizing the
documentation in the code with stackoverflow...

No it is not... By compiling to C and then having the "actual" compiler turn
that C code to system code, it has several advantages. One of those is simply:
You use all the optimizations that are present in the used compiler to gain
more speed.

Its not only your opinion because i also agree with you. It has advantages but
the disadvantages do seem to out way the advantages.

I solve that by using the integrated terminal in VSCode. And simply do the

Or you can use the setting from the nim plugin:

MS is surprising people lately. Try Bash ( Ubuntu ) for Windows 10 ( insiders

Interesting, VSCode is not on the editor-support list. Tried Atom ( what VSCode
is based upon it seems ) before but found it less "intuitive". I'll give VSCode
it a try. For trying it out a few minutes it feels less "hackish" then Atom.

And the whole unfriendly documentation just frustrates me more and more...
