Really cool to see $100 donated to Nim as part of this, although it does pale in comparison to the $23k Rust + Rust projects have received.

- maximedupre 5y agoThen the value received for Sentry most likely also pale in comparison. I've never heard of Nim before this comment. It looks pretty cool, especially the self-contained aspect. Do you know of any big company using Nim in production?
- whit537 5y agoWe have no Nim usage in the company. One of our engineers nominated it as something they find personally interesting, and we wanted to give at least a little bit to every project that our employees nominated. By contrast, we use Rust quite heavily, including our core ingest component: https://github.com/getsentry/relay https://github.com/getsentry/relay. That's why there's such a discrepancy in this case.
- dom96 5y agoThat's absolutely fair and we appreciate the donation a lot. One additional thing that would have been fairly cheap: call out the smaller open source projects you donated to. To some the exposure can mean a lot in a blog post like this :)
- whit537 5y agoWe're thinking through how to follow up on this post with additional signal-boosting throughout the year, point taken about exposure value to small projects. We'll keep that in mind! Thanks for Nim and keep up the great work! :^)
