I used it a few times before but I stopped once I realized it was a long way off from being worth using.
The lack of tooling, libraries, and numerous compiler bugs meant that it would be easier for me to write the same thing in C++ even though nim is a superior language.
I'd imagine many people came to realize this before even trying it out.
- gameswithgo 7y agohow long ago? I tried it maybe 3 years ago or so, and also ran into a lot of compiler bugs, which I reported. The good news is I saw all of them get fixed! Haven't tried the language since it hit 1.0 recently.
- codexon 7y agoI don't remember, I tried it out a little before it was renamed from Nimrod I think.
- stolen_biscuit 7y agoI don't think you should be commenting about the current state of the programming language (which is how your first comment comes across) if you haven't used it in over 6 years.
- codexon 7y agoI tried it a few times after that and it still seemed like it was many years away from being competitive with C++/Java/Go
- DyslexicAtheist 7y agohave been using Nim throughout most of 2019 and never encountered compiler bugs. not once.
