Interesting. I love programming in Nim but I'm not sure if I would consider developing something like SQLite in Nim. It still has a few rough edges IMHO.

- dom96 9y ago> It still has a few rough edges Love to hear what those are and what language you would consider developing SQLite in.
- rwbt 9y agoI'm nowhere near technically competent to develop something like SQLite in any language. Richard Hipp is a legend unto himself. But, I tried working in Nim without GC and out turned out to be a bigger hassle than I expected it to be. GC was supposed to be ref counted and now they're doing memory regions? There is also a -gc:stack which I'm not sure if it works the way like in C++. Then there is the pointer free paradigm. Don't get me wrong, I'm very optimistic about Nim and would be great if it really replaces C. But I feel like it's doing too many things at once. I personally feel like Nim dev team should stop adding new features every release and work on releasing a solid 1.0.
