Nim currently in uber-cool phase. I love it. After adding a million requested features it will end up bloated like all the others . . .

- PMunch 6y agoNim has been trimming stuff out of its stdlib instead of adding them lately. And because of its huge focus on meta-programming almost anything can fit in an external package anyways (even async is a module in Nim, without any specific support in the compiler). The Nim language as such seems to be "complete" as it is now, and I'd say it's quite unlikely to gain bloat in any way that would affect people not using the bloated parts (i.e. the compiler will still stay fast).
- m4r35n357 6y agoGreat to hear. Just hope they can resist the inevitable flood of "good ideas" and stick to their design. [EDIT] recognized your nick from IRC a while back, my "good idea" is still to add support for 80-bit floats ;)
