had meant to comment on the image and the script, sorry for leaving it
"hanging".  the app/library example certainly looks interesting, as does the
result, and "no slouch" either :-).  RL (and in part lack of motivation) has so
far stopped me from revisiting the Nim  install etc, but I will keep watching
for further "developments" with interest.


regards, jr.

While putting all the pieces together, the thing fell apart. The problem is that
the current set of macros in the nimscripter library does not allow to push
procs over the barrier (yet). When using a template it kind of works, but for
multi threading in the end it fails.

Regarding Nim, it's fun to use, sometimes fiddly and sometimes a bit rough
around the edges. It's under constant development by a very small team.

(just implemented https://paulbourke.net/fractals/bioblob/ in it, with export to
POV-Ray or JSON)
