nimble.ini with only nimbleDir fails

19

Nothing works with a ``~/.config/nimble.ini`` like: ``` nimbleDir = "/my/home/.config/nimble" ``` where ``/my/home`` should be the user's home directory. E.g., ``` nimble install --verbose ANYTHING Reading config file at /my/home/.config/nimble/nimble.ini...

nimble file should avoid @#head when possible

1

See https://github.com/c-blake/hldiff/issues/1#issuecomment-682113924 & subsequent. Seems the opengl@#head goes back to Summer 2018 and there have been a great many releases since. Presumably there is one of them that would work...

Does not compile against recaptcha@#head

2

The recaptcha library added a second overload for `initRecaptcha`. Consequently, `nimwcpkg/webs/captchas.nim:setupReCaptcha` must provide a third argument (either a `bool` or a `Provider`) for Nim to unambiguously resolve the call. This...

non-alphabetic operator highlights

For the past year or so I've been using neovim with this plugin, but I patch in these lines: ``` syntax match nimOperator "[-,:{}()\[\]=+*/@$~&%|!?^.\\]" ``` and ``` highlight default link...

nimble file should avoid @#head versions

See https://github.com/c-blake/hldiff/issues/1#issuecomment-682113924 & subsequent. Your `requires sdl2_nim@#head` seems to have been put in place and just stuck there since January 2017. 32f7b03e4001885346127b5e7e5d3deaedb2f834 seems to be the appropriate sdl2_nim git hash...

Optional Rank Augmentation; Cursor-oriented Design

3

B-Trees can cheaply support seek-by-rank. With internal code factoring along "cursor" = `seq[tuple[ptr,index]]` lines, this can even be done both easily and optionally. See my comments here as well https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/5473

Bulk Loading Algorithm(s)

1

B-Trees have efficient algorithm(s) to populate a tree for later modification from a set of entries already in-order (or in-reverse order). The algorithm is fast both in constant factors and...

For just the loading/parsing part this is 4.7x faster than Rust-1.64 on one of my machines (single threaded). Dunno about all the webserver/json stuff as that is not really my...

Generic instantiation breaks template with untyped parameter overload resolution depending upon import order

### Example ```nim #=> asum.nim bsum.nim main.nim

NOTE: this clobbers your `nim.cfg` if that matters to you and may need leading directory creation.. ```sh echo define:nimPreviewSlimSystem > $HOME/.config/nim/nim.cfg nimble install nimble ``` yields ``` Downloading https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble using...
