[meta issue] make all Nim APIs generic: ctor, init, to, streams, types, etc

8

All these will simplify some API's by making them generic with less duplication: - [ ] constructors: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/7474 newFoo[T](args) => Foo.New[T](args) - [ ] initializers: (TODO: file issue) initFoo[T](args) =>...

[RFC] [performance] {.inline.} guarantees, `--stacktrace:inline`, and `--ignoreInline`

15

some of these (especially P1) will result in a large speedup for builds with --stacktrace:off (eg debug builds) ## links * originally discussed here https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/13536#issuecomment-593949915 * https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#gnu-inline describing gnu_inline semantics...

discussion: comparison with nimterop

/cc @jwollen nimline uses a very different approach compared to https://github.com/genotrance/nimterop (/cc @genotrance), although with similar end goals. Would be nice to have a rich comparison of the 2 approaches,...

what are the differences with vibe.data.json?

1

here's one: vibe.data.json.parseJsonString accepts trailing commas, but stdx.data.json.toJSONValue does not ``` { "a":"b", } ```

how to specify where to output library/executable?

9

eg: could there be options output_file and output_dir? ``` cd ~/.dub/packages/libdparse-master dub build --compiler=ldc2 --output_file=libdparse.ldc.a dub build --compiler=dmd --output_file=libdparse.dmd.a ``` or: dub build --compiler=dmd --output_dir=./dmd_build => will build in ./dmd_build/libdparse.a

performance vs GMP?

Curious how it compares to GMP, and, less importantly, to these: * tiny-bignum-c (as used in V IIRC /cc @xflywind) * https://github.com/ilia3101/Big-Integer-C/issues/1 ## links * https://github.com/kokke/tiny-bignum-c/issues/18 * https://github.com/ilia3101/Big-Integer-C/issues/1
