Nim: How to build a HTTP server
Nim uses the Nimble package managet to bundle dependencies (it’s included with Nim as of 0.15.0). Using nimble we can install the prologue server
$ nimble install prologueand now implementing a basic web server is not to dissimilar to Sinatra, ExpressJS, or most other minimalist frameworks:
import prologue
proc hello*(ctx: Context) {.async.} =
resp "<h1>Hello World!</h1>"
let app = newApp()
app.get("/", hello)
app.run()Published: 21/03/2022
Hi, I'm Glenn! 👋
I've spent most of my career working with or at startups. You'll usually find me working in Product leadership roles, on an advisory board, or maybe as an early investor.
I've been the VP of Product & GTM @ Ockam. I led the Terraform product team @ HashiCorp, where we launched Terraform 1.0, Terraform Cloud, and a whole host of amazing capabilities that set the stage for a successful IPO. Prior to that I was part of the Startup Team @ AWS, and earlier still an early employee @ Heroku. I've also invested in a couple of dozen early stage startups.
