NimConf 2026: Dates Announced, Registrations Open
The Nim Team is happy to announce the next instalment of NimConf! NimConf 2026 will happen June 20, 2026 in the traditional online format where the talks are pre-recorded and revealed as premiers on YouTube while the viewers can ask questions and the presenter can answer them in the live chat.
joatMaybe one way to change the rules is to stop writing code that needs big hardware. The old options were C or C++ for speed and efficiency (which are difficult and dangerous) or Python, Ruby, NodeJS, Perl, PHP for quick and easy coding (but which are fat and slow). But we have better options now, better compromises... #RustLang, #NimLang, #GoLang, #CrystalLang ... the legacy languages have become the tools of the oppressor
big bappy pawbsCircling back to this, do any #nimlang developers have a recommendation for how to pass a pointer of an object to a foreign C function? Or dereference a C pointer?
Basically looking for the equivalent of passing &x and *x (where x is a nim object / struct).
Eray ZesenHappy new year everyone! π Iβve just released MiniECS, a minimalist ECS module for Nim. Enjoy! π
Added a new learning sample to the #kirpi framework today. This shows that small-scale platformers donβt need heavy physics engines β the collision code is just 20 lines. Enjoy. π»

Advent of Code 2025 - Day 08
Okay, this one was tough.
Tried a dozen data structures before settling on circuit IDs + HashTable.
Accidentally mutated object fields while using them as hash table keys.
Still have no idea why the puzzle counts already-connected junction boxes, had to look it up on reddit.
Time to solve:
Part 1: almost 2 hours
Part 2: 4 minutes
Runtime: 364 ms.
