I'm not so convinced. Web frameworks by and large don't need the perf/memory of C, they're always running on high powered servers. Nim feels like it would be pe

  I’d love a really good Nim web server option, too. Something lightweight but with enough to quickly build APIs, like FastAPI in Python or maybe Chi in Go. Even if the speed wouldn’t do it for many people over, say, FastAPI, the static typing and less insane package and dependency management than Python, and lower friction/boilerplate than Go might.

  > Web frameworks by and large don't need the perf/memory of C, they're always running on high powered servers But if they had perf/memory of C they wouldn't need to run on high powered servers! If a language allows you to be productive and can deliver high performance that can reduce your ops complexity and your hosting bill, what's not to like?

    That implies that we don’t already have high performance web frameworks in managed (thus more productive) languages already, which is not the case. C#, Java, Go are all such languages with plenty of examples.

      With that logic, why should anyone use nim at all? Those are the terrible languages we've come to nim to be free of.
