Implement a central repository for packages

Open kivimango opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

Hello. This package list is very basic and after some time it will be unmaintenable if the ecosystem grows bigger. I can implement a REST API for storing and retrieving nim packages in my free time if you are interested.

Yes.Java has a richer ecosystem they are battletested and production ready, and some of the libs (securtiy, testing) i couldnt find written in nim. One could rewrite this later in nim ofc.

Do what you like, but there is a low chance we would adopt a Nim "hub" written in Python, let alone Java.
