Champion! That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for haha

I’m trying to remove the need for external commands to compile Nim when used with ESP-IDF for embedded firmware development, which is dependent on CMake.

Going to take a crack at this today :)

Have you replaced writing C code for ESP with writing Nim and compiling it to C instead?

[girvo]

That’s exactly what we’re doing, yeah. --compileOnly gets pretty far, and I’d love to remove the need for having to run that compilation step separately before CMake builds the firmware from the generated C sources

Excellent, I've been hearing good things about Nim. I'm eager to try it out soon for a embedded project.

You'll find me (and some others) in the #embedded channel on Nim's Discord/Matrix if you have questions!

Yay! Thank you.
