It really could use a good corporate sponsor and a couple of widely known success stories.
- kitd 5mo agoAIUI, Reddit uses it for some internal tools. They would be a good backer.
- nallerooth 5mo agoFrom what I've seen it _seems_ the language's creator is not interested in corporate sponsorship. It's been some time since I was interested in Nim, so I don't have any direct references to this claim. A web search would probably provide several examples. It was one of the main reasons why I decided to focus on other languages.
- dom96 5mo agoIn many ways it already has a corporate sponsor (and has had it for many years now). It's actually the company that built this framework.
- systems 5mo agothis is a who comes first, chicken or egg Nim is one of those languages that tries to be everything for everyone, trying to fill the range from python to C++ If Nim had any strategic edge anywhere, someone smart would have picked it up to build something very successful and it would have had more sponsors
- __MatrixMan__ 5mo agoIt sits in the sweet spot for projects like nitter--which is not the kind of work that's attracting investment right now, but that's due to markets being a clumsy tool for deciding what should be done and nothing to do with Nim's merits.
