Some occasional weird "exotic features" found in the wild.
Code here is reduced to the minimal that still reproduces the bug,
but sometimes finding it on big code bases is not easy.
The examples use Python 3.8 and Nim 1.4,
because I was migrating source code from Python to Nim.
For Python
Nim can be used to do Python, is an alternative to Cython,
but with more Pythonic syntax, and more features.
Nim builtin features:
- Write easy as Python, runs fast as Rust.
- Runs on Backend and Frontend.
- No GIL, no virtual machine.
- Automatic deterministic memory management with No Garbage Collector.
- Strong inferred static typing, no hints required.
- Complete online HTML documentation with search.
- No Dependencies, no need to setup virtual environment.
- Side-effects free functions.
- Multi-line multi-expression fast anonymous functions.
- Arrow functions.
- Immutability.
- UFCS.
- Documentation generator with Markdown/RST doc comments.
- Unittests runner, inline runnable example unittests.
- Package manager.
- Code style formatter.
- App installer generator.
- "import" C/C++/JavaScript libraries.
- Runs on Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
- Proof engine with preconditions and postconditions (Ada like).
- Tiny native binaries, fast compilation.
- Easy to learn for Python/Ruby/D/Go developers.
- Not too verbose, similar to Python on verbosity.
