That's what crossed my mind too.
C++ and Rust are heavyweight and verbose, for ultimate control over execution. I have no Go experience but it seems to prefer simple over expressive.
I see that niche for Nim here: fast-ish, compiled, simple to use but also expressive.
- fwsgonzo 4y agoI added Nim support to an edge platform for that reason. I think it fits in with the others. Crucially it boils down to machine code and can be debugged with GDB.
- girvo 4y agoSame reason we’re using Nim for our IoT sensor platforms firmware: it just boils down to C, so we don’t have to give up driver support or rewrite ESP-IDF from scratch.
