This is the actual blog post title but it is clickbait. Also this is HN - people have heard of Nim.
I don't want to have to click through to know what the language comparison is.
- arthtyagi 6y agoI was actually curious at first and then I was like ah shit here we go again "NiM : the python killer", it for real is not by any means gonna be able to replace python given the stark difference in usage atm in addition to Nim's inadequete marketing and advocacy present right now. Just doesn't add up.
- xiphias2 6y agoI feel the opposite: Nim is overmarketed here on HN, just like D. It's marketed as a modern systems programming language, but I don't see any benchmark comparision with C/C++/Rust on language benchmark shootout. As for me I selected Julia from the language benchmark shootout as my to go programming language, and I'm not looking back (Rust/C++ are a bit too level for my needs, but I still need performance).

- xiphias2 6y agoThat's so sad :( I learned a lot from the benchmarks themselves. Somebody could just fork it if it's not well maintained, but I know that it's extra work.
