I am working on OpenStreetMap renderer in Nim - see https://github.com/severak/lunarender3/ https://github.com/severak/lunarender3/ (but work somewhat stalled)
I needed some language which is:
- compiled to binaries
- and really fast
- has needed libraries (HTTP server, protocol buffers, sqlite and image generation)
- it's easy to set up
It was nice experience and Nim simply worked for my needs. People on Nim forum were nice and helped me when I ran into problems. It has nice and usable built-in library and I was really impressed by graphic library pixie - https://github.com/treeform/pixie https://github.com/treeform/pixie
I would use Nim again when I when I will see this application is suited for it (e.g. some command line apps).
