Default to Nim 2.0.0

[omentic]

The default "path" argument is ~/.choosenim/toolchains/nim-1.6.6. With the release of Nim 2.0.0, this should probably be changed.

Ideally it wouldn't rely on hard-coding a version, path, and specific installation manager... but I suppose there's no better way, is there?

[PMunch]

What makes you think that? There's no hard coded path and NimLSP tries to find Nim itself during compilation.

[omentic]

guh - I thought I had built and installed nimlsp from source, against Nim 2.0.0 source: but nimble appears to be silently failing to install it? I'm going to go figure out what's going on, terribly sorry for the inconvenience...

[PMunch]

Hmm, nimble should be able to install it properly. But maybe your PATH isn't set up correctly? Nimble installs things in a special folder which you need to put in your PATH. If you're on a Linux (or possibly Mac) system you can use which nimlsp to see the folder your OS thinks NimLSP is in. If it isn't in ~/.nimble/bin then it's not the Nimble installed version.

[omentic]

Hmm. ~/.nimble/bin is definitely on my path, and I saw no evidence of any nimlsp binaries or code anywhere in the ~/.nimble folder... I did eventually give up debugging it and just manually built and copied in the binaries to ~/.nimble/bin :-/

[PMunch]

Hmm that's strange. So nimble install nimlsp doesn't throw an error but NimLSP doesn't end up in that folder?

[omentic]

Yup.

Very strange! Could you run echo $NIMBLE_DIR to verify that it is in fact ~/.nimble or empty on your machine?

[omentic]

Yup, it's empty. I might try and spin up a VM or something and see if it's reproducible...

[omentic]

Appears to be reproducible.

Very strange, I think this should be raised with nimble. Maybe also attach a run with --verbose
