Nim is a language that mimicks python syntax but compiles down to c. Really cool and easily gives you 'fast code'. If you are into this kind of stuff I would recommend you take a look.

- coleifer 8y agoHow's the standard library in nim? What's the 3rd party package ecosystem like? If I have questions will I be able to find a good answer on Google? How about jobs? There's a handful of languages out there you could consider "faster python". I just use cython though.
- peheje 8y agoPython is awesome don't get me wrong. I have limited knowledge about it, but mainly it isn't version 1.0 yet so the std lib stills changes and has some quirks/missing pieces or pieces that are not quite aligned yet. The package system is Nimble, seems easy enough, fetches packages from github given a version, though I'm not sure how secure that is. Not sure about Google as its relatively new, but in general the Nim forum is pretty active. I have asked around there a few times and got answers even from the language creators themselves.
