I’m curious to the reasoning behind moving a bunch of standard library stuff to external packages, listed at the end of the blog post. Faster compiling? Smaller executables? Faster development for each now separate package?
I saw that list, and figured that they were distancing themselves from obsolete encryption (MD5 & SHA-1), as well as remove database management from their scope (which seems like the right move, IMO).
I want to love Nim but during my trial run with it. It was a pain in the ass to get set up on my Mac in a way that I could use it easily ie as a repl for quick and dirty prototyping and learning
Doesn’t MacOS have
homebrew
that takes care of these things?No issue setting up Nim itself (and I realize my complaint is not fault to Nim itself) but it would be great if this complimentary jupyter kernel for Nim would work on MacOS… Hasn’t been maintained in a while: https://github.com/stisa/jupyternim/issues/38
Would be very useful for my workflow as someone who wants to explore Nim for data science-y type tasks.
Anyone know of an alternative Nim jupyter kernel?
