Nim seems like a great language -- certainly people who use it seem to extoll its virtues -- but I see this getting submitted and making it to the front page essentially every month. Unless there's some news about Nim that's pertinent, perhaps we could give it a rest?
- dom96 9y agoThe reason that it was submitted this time is because of a new website that we just released. I hope you can agree that this is a valid reason for the submission.
- kbd 9y agoThanks, I wouldn't have even clicked through if you hadn't written. New website looks nice!
- akkartik 9y agoThis feels like one of the exceptions where you should be allowed to change the page title. Perhaps if you prefix the title with "Show HN: " it would be ok to not use the default title. Something like "Show HN: Nim revamped its website" might be worth a try.
- nickpsecurity 9y agoI like that. I was originally with venantius where it should be something new. That was by looking at the title alone, though. Yours would be much better.
- rdtsc 9y agoUber gets submitted. Go. Erlang. Machine learning libraries. Stratups advice. A lot of things get submitted over and over. If people want to give it a rest they won't upvote and it won't show up on the front page. It's pretty simple. But there is interest so it shows up. Don't see it as a big deal, seems to work as designed.
- spinningarrow 9y agoI think GP's point might be that the Nim homepage gets submitted fairly often. For the other examples you mentioned, there's usually more variety in the content being submitted. However, as noted in another comment, Nim has a new website up hence the post this time.
