How does this perform on larger embedded systems where you have a fair amount of memory but no Rust toolchain with good support?
Could it possibly be useful there?
I suspect just using a tiny Lua/JS/Python would be better but maybe in some super niche case this could have a use. Probably not though.
- auxym 5y agoNim compiles to C and therefore should be able to run on anything which has a C compiler available. To my knowledge it's been demonstrated on AVR, ARM Cortex-M and ESP32. It's macro system comes in handy for embedded, too, as you can precompute so much stuff at compile time.
- eternityforest 5y agoOh yeah, I forgot about that awesome Nim feature. Kinda surprised Nim isn't 10x bigger than Zig and Go
- anta40 5y agoWhy comparing Zig with Nim, though? I think Nim has quite nice standard library and production-ready. Zig, on the other side, is still highly experimental.
