Second that, I find Nim fun to program. Not sure exactly why.. Perhaps, it‘a a bit of the feel of the old Python 2 days, but with better package management, less OO, and static binaries. Or it has more advanced abilities that solve annoying points with static languages like C++ via proper macros. Crystal looks nice too, but I want code that compiles to C/C++, not llvm for embedded work. Not sure about Crystal, but I’ve been able to find all the packages I needed for embedded and even some ML work. That Nim can wrap C/C++ libraries really helps there, otherwise it’d be a pain. For example I wanted to load PNG images, well someone wrapped a C library [1]. Or to create Elixir NIFs (with exception safety!) [2]. Generally if there’s a C/C++ package it only takes a few hours to wrap and use. Nim has some annoying parts, like understanding the ref/var distinction and lack of examples. The documentation is fairly complete otherwise. 1: https://github.com/define-private-public/stb_image-Nim https://github.com/define-private-public/stb_image-Nim 2: https://github.com/wltsmrz/nimler https://github.com/wltsmrz/nimler
