#!/usr/bin/env sh
# A wrapper around the Nim compiler to allow for easy scripting of Nim. Puts
# all temporary files in a temporary directory and cleans up after itself.
#
# Usage:
# - add `#!/usr/bin/env nimrun` at the beginning of your script
# - execute the nim file with it, for example, `nimrun file.nim args`
#
# Possible future extentions:
# - cache compilation results for a while
# - configurable temporary directory
# - allow for custom `nim c` parameters

Note that there is another issue, i.e., line 49 and 51 should be exchanged.
