I really like nim and have used it to create dependency free cli tools for colleagues at work to use, and for crawling, data slice/dice reporting uses that would be too slow for Python.
But had to stop using it last year when all the binaries it generated where being detected by CrowdStrike as a Trojan. The binaries would dissapear on execution and I'd be contacted by the security office. I uploaded a program to totalvirus and a few other AV systems also detected it as a trojan. At that point I stopped using it and switched to Go. Has that situation been fixed yet?
- lazypenguin 4y agoThis is not a problem exclusive to Nim. It’s a toolchain problem and happens with C/C++ projects as well. Some malware gets tagged and some part of its code is used to identify that’s some generic code generated by a compiler. The only way to fully avoid it on windows is to get an EV certificate but usually updating your tool chain works. I’ve had similar issues with other languagesz
