In terms of features it's powerful enough to build a Discourse-like forum enough. In terms of performance it's very well performing in the TechEmpower benchmarks[3] it is competing in. It even grabbed first place on JSON serialization on Cloud hardware.

- qaq 8y agoOK english is not my native lang so maybe I am not formulating things clearly I did not try to suggest that nim does not have good http lib. I was just saying my 2 core requirements good http lib and high quality mature PostgreSQL driver. Nim has good Http lib Nim does not have async PG driver that I would feel confident using in prod.
