As much as I am disappointed that Nim wasn't chosen, I am impressed that it was mentioned at all. Nim's JS backend is still rather young, and tooling is definitely lacking. But you can make some pretty cool things with it[1].

- girvo 9y agoYeah, I did a double take when I saw it on the list. We use Nim at my new work extensively for some back end stuff (mainly homomorphic encryption experiments, but a full implementation of Paillier is also in it!) and I've just started getting the team to leverage it for the front-end too :)
- dom96 9y agoThat's awesome. Can we expect a blog post from you about Nim in the near future? :)
- girvo 9y agoYep, especially because IBM just gave me a 20-core (8 hardware threads per core) POWER8 server with 256GB of RAM to run this stuff on, so I'm going to have a lot of fun getting Nim up and running on it!
- dom96 9y agoAwesome! If you want it posted on nim-lang.org then just create a PR on the website[1] repo :) 1 - https://github.com/nim-lang/website https://github.com/nim-lang/website
