I've had a similar reaction when trying Go. While I'm biased, I strongly believe Nim offers a much better alternative which solves all of the problems you mention in a much better way.
In particular, parsing JSON is a breeze, just like in Python. And there is no GOPATH weirdness.
Give Nim a try if you haven't already, it may just become your new favourite language :)
- alias_neo 8y agoI'll look into it, thanks. I was planning on Rust being my next language but I'll see what Nim offers. I take it your bias is because your the/a creator?

- alias_neo 8y agoOk! What's its standard library like compared to Go? I like that I can write powerful projects with few external dependencies. I don't like that C binding is slow and C++ binding is missing. How does it compare to Rust, which is currently top of my list to learn next? Can you suggest a reason, or a few why Nim should knock Rust from that spot?
