Procs

proc input(prompt: string = ""): string {....raises: [IOError, EOFError],
    tags: [WriteIOEffect, ReadIOEffect], forbids: [].}

Mimics Python's input() function, i.e. read a line from the stdin.

You can also specify a prompt.

let name = input("Name: ")

proc inputExtra(prompt: string = ""): string {....raises: [EOFError],
    tags: [ReadIOEffect, WriteIOEffect], forbids: [].}

Like Python's input() function. Arrows also work.

You can also specify a prompt. The extra thing is that the arrows also work, like in Bash. In Python you can have the same effect if you import readline. If the user presses Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D, an EOFError exception is raised that you catch on the caller side.

try:
  let name = input("Name: ")
except EOFError:
  echo "Ctrl+D was pressed"
