VS Code settings

If you use VS Code, I suggest the following:

• Install the extension "nim-lang.org" by NimLang. This is the official Nim extension, directly from the developers of the Nim language. The extension ID is "NimLang.nimlang".

In my settings.json, I have the following Nim-specific settings:

"[nim]": {
    "editor.tabSize": 2,
    "editor.insertSpaces": true,
    "editor.autoIndent": "full",
  },
  "nim.inlayHints.parameterHints.enable": false,
  "nim.inlayHints.typeHints.enable": false,

It is suggested to use 2 spaces for indentation.

Install nimlangserver:

$ nimble install nimlangserver

Autoformat

Nim also has a code beautifier (like Ruff for Python); it's called nph. However, I didn't like the default formatting, so I stopped using it.
