great ! I can't wait !
I truly believe this is a fantastic idea, and we should make it happen.
However, it seems like the thread stagnated.
@Araq @dom96 maybe announce this in an official blog post?
Nothing is stagnating, the plan is progressing:
* Should be in the first week of June.
* Speakers must apply formally in an upcoming Google docs document.
* A "sound" check will be done two days before the live streaming.
I wanted to make this work onwards Nim 1.0.0 so I had to comment out some
runnableExamples.
Just realized that I had managed to comment out the whole keys iterator as well

Please, reinstall, and sorry for the inconvenience...
So, this is something that we've considered for a while now, after all these
years writing production code in Nim, we long for Python's lack of static
checking; in the end there is always a Nim code snippet that tests the part of
the Nim compiler we touched anyway, the static type system

Hey jjude - Check your calendar.
Took to long for me to realize XD
I suggest having compiler developers room as part of the conference were we can
chat about compiler internals future plans and etc. IMO, new plans. This would
require a big conference call with zoom or skype.
Also suggesting extra talks on Nim compiler internals as part of the conference.

All of NIM will be rewritten in Python or only machine learning part? Isn't
rewriting all of the language into another language waste of time rather than
spending it on improving either the language or the ecosystem?
Hello, I was wondering if you thought about setting up an e-mail newsletter for
Blog.
I saw there's a RSS feed however I don't really use RSS and using a client only
for Nim Blog would be tedious.
I'd like to get info about the news but I look on the Blog only occasionally
simply because I
Best 1 April ever XD
Read that post, peek at the calendar and have a laugh ;-)
"I think we can get away with modelling the Nim AST in C via a single void*
type"
This one line killed me haha
Writing performant code in C these days? How absolutely immoral! Have you
considered our lord and saviour Rust? /s
Also, I love this part: "The perfomance critical parts inside the Nim compiler
are probably: The lexer, the parser, the semantic checker, the overloading
resolution mechanism, the
what does this mean for us, humble mortals?
Some simple benchmarks comparing the new backend to pandas at:

Note that I ran the code on a default pandas
I'm strongly opposed to that plan! While I fully agree that Nim (currently)
does a lot of uncool stuff (e.g. static typing) I do not consider Python and C
good choices. Instead of Python we should be bold and directly walk into where
the future is: AI based image interpretation instead of
Is there some interest for natural language processing in Nim? Something like
[Spacy](https://spacy.io/) or [NTLK](http://ntlk.org/)...
I've found bits of code but not much.

or perhaps to convert a set to a sequence?
I am looking to randomly take out a member of a set but hitting a wall here.
Something like
var availableDoors : set[Directions] = {North, East, South, West}
# nextDoor = availableDoors[rand(availableDoors.len)]

How about having some regular conference calls during this days, while many
people are staying at home due to the lockdown?
Well for your specific usecase you can use
[sample]([https://nim-lang.org/docs/random.html#sample%2Cset%5BT%5D](https://nim-lang.org/docs/random.html#sample%2Cset%5BT%5D))
from the random module. Otherwise the [manual
This sounds great! I'll submit a talk, I'd love to participate.
The default threadpool library works fine for very simple cases, but if you
want to control over it, you are better off with a threadpool instance instead
of a global. I use and highly recommend this:

Does that work because the default type for a template argument is `untyped`? I
saw another post recently that said `prefix: string` doesn't work, `prefix:
untyped` is required.
