It is not supported and my general advice is to replace Bash scripts with Nim programs, not with NimScript.
Okay, not exactly what I was expecting but OTOH I've followed your advice and I'm now using this shebang line:
!/usr/bin/env -S nim c --hints=off -r
It works. And it solves a lot of problems I had with NimScript and stuff that doesn't exist there. Only ugly thing is the complicated shebang line. IMHO nim should auto-dect it's running from a script and use default arguments. But that's for another issue report one day ;-)
Thanks a lot for pointing me to the right direction! I wonder if NimScript should be abandoned altogether. It's just confusing for newbies. You can't even print a character without newline at the end because stdout is available etc etc. In its current state it's just a waste of time.
Summary
I've just started using NimScript and I want to replace existing Bash scripts. In Bash I can easily get a single character like Y/N. The user won't have to press Enter. I found this surprisingly hard to achieve in NimScript. It seems there's only readLineFromStdin() but this waits for a whole line. How can I read a single character? Isn't this possible?
Description
It'd be nice if getCh() or sth. like this was available in NimScript.
