Nim is a strange choice to come to mind while there is Lua. Much more approachable and lightweight glue language for numerous C libs and tools existing on any os. If you go in that direction than D seems like a better choice that could also come to mind. Basically C but with gc. All these are good choices for system scripting any day.
- dizhn 4y agoI am not saying this as an expert but I needed to set an environment variable with lua and it's not supported. You can read but not write them.(There's getenv but no setenv - i just looked it up and it's due to Ansi C not having the latter) I believe it has something to do with cross platform compatibility. This is pretty basic stuff. Maybe it's just the standard library and people just import something for it.
