  • I like Nim and many concepts of it with the big point of discussion being that function names get normalized (helloWorld === hello_world).

    But I feel like that Nim is a language without purpose. It’s all nice and cool on paper, but it has no use case where I think “I have to do it in Nim”.

    Go is known for making small, fast startup web apps, Python for making small one time tasks or Data work, Rust low level programming if you like functional programming, PHP if you want yo setup a website as fast as possible.

    But Nim doesn’t have this, it doesn’t have a library that’s better than in all other languages. It’s nice but what for?
