book of nim

bow to the crown - Heather Dale

for fullstack appdevs & bizdevops+sec teams

a language should scale like math: the same notation describing the lowest and highest layers - Andreas

fullstack is a first principle for us; nim redefines what that means
many application developers are moving to/incorporating rust/go in their stack; suspend judgment and consider nim for (many, but definitely) these reasons

tutorials to get you familiar with nim

indepth nim syntax and API

this repo serves two purposes for programmers considering nim as their Nth language:
- primary: source code you can execute while reading
  - examples covering ~ 90%% of nim
- secondary: documentation you can read while coding
  - contextual info for the API examples with links to documentation and related references
thus each chapter consists of docs to read and code to run:
- basic to expressive nim
  - round 1:
    - hello world
  - round 2:
    - sugar and spices
- 1: data types and data wrangling
  - round 1
    - collections, strings
    - containers, lists,
    - time and calendar, maths
  - round 2
    - data protocols, data wrangling,
    - cryptography
- 2: operating system and tests
  - round 1
    - operating systems and i/o
  - round 2
    - testing with testament
- 3: concurrency, parallelism, servers
  - round 1
    - async and threads
  - round 2
    - web and application servers
- 4: compiler, packages, and memory management
  - round 1
    - pragmas and effects,
    - managing memory at runtime
  - round 2
- 5: filters, metaprogramming and interfacing with other languages
  - round 1
    - filters
    - templates and macros
  - round 2
    - foreign function interface
- 6: opensource
