When I looked at Nimrod it seemed very raw to me: REPL malfunctions and crashes, the whole language seems to be more an enthusiast effort than a production-quality tool. Rust is very raw too, but it already looks pretty solid.
- dom96 13y agoNimrod by default compiles to C. Its REPL is just an extra feature which as of right now is not stable because few people use it. It for example doesn't even support the FFI currently. As for whether Nimrod is production quality, I would say yes. The compiler is written in Nimrod which is impressive in itself. I have written many projects in it already and even though the compiler is still not at 1.0 the projects continue to build with no (or very little) errors between new compiler versions. Examples of my nimrod projects: an IDE (https://github.com/nimrod-code/aporia https://github.com/nimrod-code/aporia), a build farm (https://github.com/nimrod-code/nimbuild https://github.com/nimrod-code/nimbuild) and a web framework (https://github.com/dom96/jester https://github.com/dom96/jester). The Nimrod forum (http://forum.nimrod-code.org http://forum.nimrod-code.org) is also written in Nimrod.
