NIM packages
NIM packages, also known as Nimble packages, are collections of related source code, documentation, and metadata that can be reused and shared by developers using the Nim programming language. These packages are distributed through Nimble, the package manager for Nim, which simplifies the process of finding, installing, and managing libraries and dependencies for Nim projects.
NIM packages are defined using a special file format called .nimble, which contains information about the package, such as its name, version, dependencies, and the source code files it includes. Developers can use Nimble to search for and install packages, and the package manager takes care of downloading and installing any required dependencies.
By using NIM packages, developers can easily leverage existing code and libraries, saving time and effort when building new applications or extending existing ones. This encourages code reuse and collaboration within the Nim community, ultimately leading to more efficient and robust software development.
