MIC DROP!!
Wonderful article. Nim is a great programming language. I am using nim and c these days as my primary languages.
- auxym 6y agoThe "kids" part seems a bit over the top. One can make a valid criticism without ad hominem. (Saying this as a fan of Nim and lean desktop apps in general, though also someone who really doesn't get web technologies.)
- ludamad 6y agoElectron can certainly be a bad idea, but my main gripe there is that everyone embeds the runner. It has an amazing feature set, everyone can agree, no?
- qmmmur 6y agoAny recommendations for GUI program development with Nim?
- beagle3 6y agoYou can do pure Windows with wNim or Winim and its few helpers. If you are looking for cross platform, very graphical, not necessarily accessible, there's NimX. I think there's also a port of Dear ImGui called Nimgui. If you are ok with webby interface, there's a Nim port of zserge's webview. There's a discussion on the Nim forum you might find interesting: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/5632 https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/5632
