your recollection of your experience with Nim performance is what it is, but it is at odds with just about every other account of Nim, including by people who really dislike it. Your “it was a long time ago, I don’t remember” doesn’t make it credible either.
Other comments are more a matter of opinion or view, but with respect to speed or memory use - Nim competes favorably with C++, D, Zig and friends. Neither CPython nor PyPy is in the same league.
- Symmetry 8y agoIt's really easy to make C++ code that's slower at reading or writing files than Python if you go about it in an innocent way. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30197068/why-is-my-c-text-file-parsing-script-so-much-slower-than-my-python-script?rq=1 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30197068/why-is-my-c-tex... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9371238/why-is-reading-lines-from-stdin-much-slower-in-c-than-python https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9371238/why-is-reading-l... So I wouldn't be at all surprised if you could make the same mistakes in Nim. But of course it would be unfair to claim that that means Nim is slow in general.
