lint

nim-lint for developing

Ref RFC timotheecour/Nim#415

lint items

• code block => runnableExamples
• proc + noSideEffect => func
• assert in a test file => doAssert
• isMainModule in stdlib => recommend moving to tests/stdlib/tfoo.nim
• double backticks => single backticks
• capitalize the fist letter
• lots of testament specific checks (eg exitcode: 0 usually useless)
• etc, countless things that would be best done as a tool instead of relying on every reviewer to check all of those in every PR (plus for making it easier to improve stdlib + third party projects)

TODO

• Better messages with filename, line and col number

Usage

Type nim c -r lint.nim.
