Nimrod differs from many other compilers in that it is really fast,
and being so fast makes it suited to provide external queries for
text editors about the source code being written. Through the
``idetools`` command of `the compiler <nimrodc.html>`_, any IDE can
query a ``.nim`` source file and obtain useful information like
`idetools`:idx: command of `the compiler <nimrodc.html>`_, any IDE
can query a ``.nim`` source file and obtain useful information like
definition of symbols or suggestions for completion.
This document will guide you through the available options. If you

like symbol suggestion, plus why wait at all if we can avoid it?
The idetools command can be run as a compiler service, where you
first launch the compiler and it will stay online as a server,
accepting queries in a telnet like fashion. The advantage of staying
on is that for many queries the compiler can cache the results of
the compilation, and subsequent queries should be fast in the
millisecond range, thus being responsive enough for IDEs.
