Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Nim supports JavaScript by default, with optional C and C++ WebAssembly targets.
    • C and C++ targets support C interoperability, exact 64-bit integers, pointers, casts, and sizeof. Standard input and command-line arguments remain unavailable; use Nim (Wasm) for those features.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Exported and published output now reflects the script type and compiled language selected by the current configuration.
  • Documentation
    • Updated Nim documentation with target options, compiler details, and links to the C and C++ WebAssembly languages.

Walkthrough

Nim now supports JavaScript, C, and C++ targets. Compiler metadata can be static or resolved from the current configuration. The documentation describes target settings and backend differences.

Nim targets and compiler metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Config-dependent compiler metadata
src/livecodes/models.ts, src/livecodes/core.ts, src/livecodes/UI/deploy.ts, src/livecodes/export/utils.ts, src/livecodes/result/result-page.ts
Compiler metadata types now accept config-dependent functions. Consumers resolve compiled-code language and script type with the current config.
Nim backend selection and compilation
src/livecodes/languages/nim/lang-nim.ts, src/livecodes/languages/nim/__tests__/lang-nim.spec.ts, src/livecodes/vendors.ts, docs/docs/languages/nim.mdx
Nim selects and caches compilers by target. JavaScript output is wrapped in an IIFE; C and C++ output is returned directly with target-specific metadata. Tests cover target settings and compiler reuse. The documentation describes the backends, and the Nim Wasm package URL changes to version 0.5.0.

Important

CI is currently red: prettier --check rejects the new Nim spec, and npm run test runs lint:prettier. Two smaller behavior regressions in the new config-aware scriptType/compiledCodeLanguage paths are noted inline.

Reviewed changes

  • Nim targets — lang-nim.ts now selects js/c/cpp from customSettings.nim.target, caches one nimWasm compiler per target, and emits c/cpp output through the existing Clang runtime.
  • Config-aware compiler metadata — Compiler.scriptType and compiledCodeLanguage can now be functions of the config; core.ts, deploy.ts, export/utils.ts and result-page.ts were updated to resolve them.
  • Dependency bump — @live-codes/nim-wasm 0.4.0 → 0.5.0, which provides the c/cpp targets and emit: 'single'.
  • Docs and tests — nim.mdx documents backends/custom settings; a new spec covers target selection, scripts, and the per-target compiler cache.

I verified against the published @live-codes/nim-wasm@0.5.0 README that emit: 'single' is the intended amalgamated output for LiveCodes' C/C++ languages, that the assets/nim/ paths still exist, and that clang-wasm 0.3.0 handles both text/c-wasm and text/cpp-wasm. The Nim specs pass and typecheck:app is clean.

Addressed all three review threads on PR #1073 in commit 7d460ff70:

  • Reformatted the Nim spec so prettier --check passes.
  • compiledCodeLanguage now returns the canonical 'javascript' for the JS target, restoring the compiled-code viewer's redeclare workaround (spec updated).
  • result-page.ts resolves the language scriptType function before falling back to config.customSettings.scriptType and ESM autodetection.

Nim unit tests and typecheck:app pass. The push prepush hook failed only on pre-existing Storybook typecheck errors (livecodes/svelte module, unused @ts-expect-error in storybook/common), unrelated to these changes; the branch was pushed and all three threads resolved.
