Nim seems to have adopted a lot of the trappings of rust in the last few years. Sort of weird he didn't see Julia first, as it's explicitly aimed at this group.

- igorkraw 4y agoSpeaking as someone who has built things in python, rust and Julia,I have to say that while I love multiple dispatch and the possibilities the Julia ecosystem offers, I'm not surprised he went to Rust over Julia: it's not much slower to hack in (as in, change some code, try running things, see what breaks, fix) because cargo check will catch a lot of errors before actually running things and you can stub things with "todo!()", but it manages complexity much better (if you lean on the typesystem and your code compiles, it's usually almost done), integrates easier into other ecosystems (cbindgen, pyo3)and the finished product will start up faster
