Rostyslav Dzinko :: Deep in Code

With this short post I'd like to introduce you my small Nim language package called native_dialogs which is intended to implement framework-agnostic way to call underlying operating system file save/open/etc. dialogues.

My latest article was on the work I currently doing on Nim programming, namely, working on nimongo , and everyday this language takes more and more of my time at work, and outside of work, as it brings a lot of fun and addiction.

It happens that sometimes I have to write console application in C for Windows, and having only ASCII output is not always an option: basically, I need to have a possibility to perform text output in Ukrainian which is okay when you use UTF-8. Unlike others, Windows use legacy code pages system to make console work with natural languages text in different countries with different localisations, and that's a weird thing for Linux/Mac user.

Lately I've spent much time coding in Nim. If you're still not acquainted with this fascinating, one of the fastest growing programming languages, please visit its official site , and get your grips on it. To be short, it's a statically typed compiled programming language that translates its source code ANSI C, which is then compiled into native executables. Such flow makes it easy to employ Nimlang on a broad range of software and hardware platforms.
