You should try diving into num for like a month and see how you like it. It's different enough that you need to go past a certain kind of ledge to start liking it. Or at least that was my experience.
For me, it shares the most important benefits of Rust but with quite a lot more ergonomic coding model.
- darthrupert 3y agoWoopsie. I meant s/num/nim/ of course.
- SJMG 3y agoNim on paper is great; it has many advantages over Rust in the general purpose "niche". Tragically, it's kind of stillborn. It's older than Rust, has orders of magnitude less mindshare, and has no companies with serious technical reputations backing it.
- darthrupert 3y agoYeah, you're not wrong about the mindshare problem. But it somehow at least in my mind differs from other "stillborn" older languages in that it keeps improving. The end result is that it still feels modern in the year 2023.
