NimForUE
Nim plugin for UE5 with native performance, hot reloading and full interop that sits between C++ and Blueprints. This allows you to do common UE workflows like for example to extend any UE class in Nim and extending it again in Blueprint if you wish so without restarting the editor. The final aim is to be able to do in Nim what you can do in C++

- A Review of Nim 2: The Good and Bad with Example Code
To be clear, you can compile to WASM with emscripten. However, if you want to call JavaScript code, e.g. to interact with the DOM from WASM in browser, then the bindings that are declared in the standard library do not support this.
Instead, you will need to write your own bindings. Here's an example repository of mine using emscripten with Nim: https://github.com/miguelmartin75/nim-wasm-experiments and here are bindings to emscripten's C API for websockets: https://github.com/miguelmartin75/nim-wasm-experiments/blob/...
With emscripten, you can create bindings to JavaScript using EM_JS macros, which you can emit in Nim. Here is an example of how to do so: https://github.com/treeform/windy/blob/bc98d4642c700f0277551...
- Show HN: C-ocoa, Write iOS/macOS apps in any language, with a generated C API
Interesting project, though I'd rather just use Obj-C. I guess if you wanna use it in something like JavaScript or Lua it'd make sense to have C as a bindi g layer.

Interesting, I've been using a similar project for Nim lately: https://github.com/treeform/windy
It's surprising how simple Obj-C interaction is compared to Java JNI or something. Here's the Obj-C interop for Windy:

- How can I add graphics to my nim program?
- How to detect and even save key presses
I used https://github.com/treeform/windy in my text editor. It's a pure Nim library like SDL. For separate keypresses I used a state machine where every keypress advances the state and when it reaches an end state the action performed. Works pretty well ^
- Simple Gamepad Support
I made it because I really like pixie/boxy/windy combo, but there is no gamepad support built-in.
- Is Fidget usable for implementation of 3D rendering?
The author Fidget actually has a number of other great libraries that are part of the rendering stack. Notably, Pixie for text and shape rendering in 2D, Boxy for rendering textures to the GPU via opengl, and then Windy for an OS window context and user events, and a number of other libraries related to 3D rendering.
