   I think one reason is that there's no big corporation behind it, for Rust it was Mozilla and now the members of the Rust Foundation, for Go it is Google. But I totally agree, Nim is an awesome language and definitely deserves more atte

   I think Rust is popular because the end product is nice: It's usually fast and safe. However, I'm not sure if it's reasonable to pick Rust for programs which contain a lot of 'business logic' compromised of complica

   By coincidence, there is a new Nim blog post demonstrating exactly that. With the same ant example. https://nim-lang.org/blog/2021/05/01/this-month-with-nim.htm...

   This is part 2 of an ongoing series of my efforts to learn the programming language Nim. I give you a quick overview on how to create a simple macro using pattern matching as well as pragmas and reflection functions. The final code can be f

    Thanks for clarification withoutboats2! It's really confusing as Nim's move semantics "feel" very similar to Rust's (except that Nim is more relaxed regarding "use after move" - it simply performs a copy).

    I'm not an expert in Nim, so it would be great if others could jump in. But to my understanding, Nim's ORC "garbage collector" (I'd rather call it memory strategy) is very similar to Rust's approach, it's
