Its just amusing, in this thread everyone with critical thinking and skeptical is down voted, even if one expresses himself moderately. It shows how much of zealots, Rust fanboys have become.

...and it's explicitly mentioned in the manual, which makes me wonder, how someone quoting it (and thus pretends that has read it), missed that part. Most points are pure FUD imo, except the one talking about vertical space, and I beli

...except that macros don't change the syntax of the language! They just offer convenience on top of it, most common example is the `=>` lambda operator from the `sugar` module. I do agree, that the pattern matching macro presented

out of curiosity, how you manage to get the first key, instead of the last? Because it seems to me, it would be less logic/ easier for a parser to always return the last.

Maybe during history lessons you preferred a good beauty sleep instead of paying attention to the class :)

You are the same people ousting Greek refugees during the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922 (considering them Turkish because they also spoke Turkish) (known locally as the Asia Minor disaster) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

Mr, in democratic societies voicing your views is protected by the freedom of speech. However hate speech and extremist groups preaching it should be prosecuted, as criminal organizations. A Jewish philosopher has advocated for this stance

If you can tolerate a police baton up your anus, hold a rally. :) (I'm referring to human rights reports from 2016, which stated that detainees after the failed coup were sodomized by the police)

Balkans are a war torn region, I honestly don't share some of my compatriots, idiotic opinions about naming other countries. Although they haven't lived though let's say Sarajevo in the 90s, I hope we all realize, that war is

And also someone should care about the Syrian refugees, these people are being used as a pawn to make demands and their rights are violated.

Fair point, although yourself gave me the wrong impression initially. karax doesn't support stateful components indeed.

(I can't see the link, its offline) the difference is though, there is no expensive heap scans. That is new (it's called "trial deletion", see the Bacon paper) and makes it "deterministic" due to that, independ

Yeah, it values composition over inheritance (mentioned in the official tutorials) and discourages you from using methods and other OOP concepts. It's by far a procedural language. Functional style is also not preferred either, imho a

Rust algorithm is only one way to do automatic memory management. And regarded as being very restrictive. The scheme Nim implements (ORC), which is innovative as well, is more permissive and unobtrusive. I hope in the next year it becomes t

Ah debugging is very simple, just call `writeStacktrace()` (I assume you can guess what it does) It's great!

Nim compiles to js with `nim js source`. I'm not familiar with wasm but it's also possible, know people who have done that.

I have switched to `--gc:arc`/`orc` for some time but I haven't noticed any difference in compilation speed.

Reason for using Nim is its simplicity, anyone writing Python can switch to Nim, fast compile times and it's speed which is on par with C/C++

Nim has plotting, dataframe, matrix libs and even a fully featured machine learning library, I don't see the reason why it can't be used, especially by scientists. https://github.com/Vindaar/ggplotnim https:
