Webdev and games are fairly well covered, not sure about IOT but as far as embedded goes I know people are using it on arduino & RPi. Check out the stdlib: http://nim-lang.org/docs/lib.html Some interesting project

Yeah, especially for things like gamedev. It's got the perfect mix of productivity and speed, yet allows complex metaprogramming and compile time evaluation. It does need more users, for sure, but I think it's a testament to the p

Ah, it's moved on quite a bit since then. I started using it around then too, but these days compiler errors are very rare indeed, in my experience anyway. Put it this way, the only compiler bugs I've had in the last year or so ha

What's the difference been naive RC and non-naive? Would the above languages (Erlang, Dart and Nim) count as naive implementations? I was under the impression Nim, at least, had pretty efficient RC implementation that performed favoura

Programmable logic on chips will be INCREDIBLE for the field of intrinsic hardware evolution, which is a slowly emerging science. This is huge for the field of AI and electronics. I've been waiting to see this kind of thing for years,
