I'd like to first point out that the matrix library you refer to is three years old. For a programming language in development that's a lot of time due to changes, and it doesn't compile any more with the current Nimrod git version:
$ nimrod c matrix
...
private/tmp/n/matrix/matrix.nim(97, 8) Error: ']' expected
It fails on the double array accessor, which seems to have changed syntax. I guess your attempt to create a double [][]
accessor is problematic, it could be ambiguous: are you accessing the double array accessor of the object or are you accessing the nested array returned by the first brackets? I had to change the proc
to the following:
proc `[]`*[T](x: TMatrix[T], r,c: int): T =
After that change you also need to change the way to access the matrix. Here's what I got:
for x in 0 .. <2:
for y in 0 .. <2:
echo "x: ", x, " y: ", y, " = ", m[x,y]
Basically, instead of specifying two bracket accesses you pass all the parameters inside a single bracket. That code generates:
x: 0 y: 0 = 1
x: 0 y: 1 = 2
x: 1 y: 0 = 3
x: 1 y: 1 = 4
With regards to finding software for Nimrod, I would like to recommend you using Nimble, Nimrod's package manager. Once you have it installed you can search available and maintained packages. The command nimble search math
shows two potential packages: linagl and extmath. Not sure if they are what you are looking for, but at least they seem more fresh.
