This is more of an issue with how the nim compiler source is packaged for nimble than an issue with nimble itself.

As mentioned in this issue you can prefix the imports with "$nim".

So

import "$nim"/compiler/ast

You could probably also just add the compiler source to the path by adding --path:"$nim" to the nim.cfg.
