What features would you like to see in Nimrod or the Nimrod Ecosystem:
-
gem like functionality (gem install sinatra) -
A cookbook site similar to Python, where users can share code, mostly snippets. Driven by normal users rather by experts-only.
-
A wiki functionality for parts of the documentation so that users could update the documentation in a simple way (and Araq could take these suggestions and approve or reject them quickly).
-
A pastebin for nimrod on the Nimrod Homepage or somewhere else.
-
Allow multiple ranges (eg 1..3,5..8), handle reverse ranges (eg 5..1, 3.. -3)
-
echo automatically handle simple display of sequences (similar to repr)
-
vector and matrix maths (or include a port of an existing library)
-
include a do while loop (or equivalent)
-
% formating extended to include math precision (like provided by formatFloat, but in a concise % syntax way)
-
easier sorting, that doesn't need wrestling with types.
-
a ternary condition - like ?: in C, or iif()
- You can do:
if cond: a else: b, IIRC the?:won't make it into Nimrod.
- You can do:
-
a simple way of indexing the last element of an array or sequence, to avoid long-hand code like
arr[arr.len-1]- You can do:
arr[arr.high]orarr[arr.low]for indexing the last and first element or an array or sequence.
- You can do:
-
a shorthand way of discarding the return value of a proc (to improve readability)
-
a shorthand initialization of arrays or sequences, eg var x: array[0..25, int] = -1 would initialize all elements of x to -1
