It's why we have threaded conversations on HN. > Nim probably needs a killer app to get the attention it deserves. I agree, and you'll be glad that I have some ideas already. Of course time is always the problem :) > Building GUIs easily could be one way to make it easier, but I had very unpleasant experiences with gui packages for Nim. Is it nimx that you have tried? Surely it's still early days for nimx but it is looking very promising. There is also work going to be put in to make a much more robust and idiomatic libui wrapper. Unfortunately GUI libraries are difficult. It's actually no surprise that we so many projects using WebKit for a GUI these days. Can any library seriously compete? I'm not so sure anymore.
