Install a REPL

Although Nim is a compiled language, it also has a REPL. (Shameless plug: I also wrote a simple REPL for the C language, see here).

Nim's REPL (which is a 3rd-party library) is called INim.

$ nimble install inim

$ inim
👑 INim 1.0.0
Nim Compiler Version 2.2.8 [Linux: amd64] at /home/jabba/.nimble/bin/nim
nim> 1+1
2 == type int
nim>

It's slow, because in the background it updates and compiles a Nim file, but it's still very useful if you quickly want to try something.

Remove a package

$ nimble uninstall inim
