Projects
Compiler
- Add support for coroutines
- Fix bugs with iterators/generics
- Fix/Expand Compiler as a Service features
Standard Library
-
Integrate and expand new async io module
-
Enhance the filesystem monitoring module "fsmonitor.nim"
- Allow the fsmonitor module to work on Windows by using native api's to gather information about changes in monitored files and directories.
- Revise the fsmonitor module api to decouple unix/linux file handle paradigms (such as using sockets.poll) from the api, allowing easier implementations of native backends.
- Integrate the fsmonitor module's polling mechanism into the new asynchronous io modules.
-
Add a cross-platform stat()-like procedure to the operating system module "os.nim"
- Implement a procedure which uses native stat-like calls on Linux, Mac, Windows, and other operating systems to gather detailed information about specific file system objects. Allow the bypassing of symlinks and hardlinks, where possible.
-
Enhance and expand standard library documentation
- Ensure that documentation exists for all public methods and modules
- Create and design new CSS and HTML layouts for the documentation, to better fit with the main website
- Add search capabilities to the documentation
Tools & Infrastructure
- Update and refactor nimrod builder
- Reduce the number of assumptions the nimrod builder makes about its host system, in order to reduce configuration restrictions. Assumptions include location and usage of external tools, such as git.
