Until version 1.0 I mean. Depends which features you are using. The newer features (concepts for example) will likely have more breakages than the rest of the language. We already have a lot of code written in Nim and a book published (which we are committed to keep compatible with 1.0) so breakages should be minimal (unforeseen circumstances of course may happen). > how does it compare to D if I have to: > > - use a well-mantained GUI library in at least one system (multiplatform would be a big plus) I'm not sure about the status of GUI support for D. Nim has bindings to GTK/QML/libui and some other more experimental GUIs rendered using pure OpenGL (nimx). They are all cross-platform (although GTK on macOS is a PITA). > - how mature is the standard (and other libraries also if that is easy to add) library for: json handling, binary serialization, algorithmic code (a la range-v3 or ranges in D. Something along the lines of python iterators, functools, comprehensions and itertools also ok). JSON handling is very mature. I don't think we have binary serialisation in the stdlib. Algorithmic code - sequtils is what you're after I guess: http://nim-lang.org/docs/sequtils.html http://nim-lang.org/docs/sequtils.html > - would I be able to use Nim in embedded if I do a port of some software? Namely, would I be able to remove the GC? Sure, but you won't be able to use a lot of the stdlib. > One thing that worries me is that I am much more familiar with metaprogramming in C++ and D's metaprogramming I suppose Nim by Example is a good place to look, it has some good metaprogramming examples: https://nim-by-example.github.io/ https://nim-by-example.github.io/ Also my book has a chapter on metaprogramming :) https://book.picheta.me/ https://book.picheta.me/ Hope that answers your questions!
