[Discussion] Nim Programming language - thoughts? (nim-lang.org)

Anyone have experience using Nim? The TLDR that I am seeing is compiled portable python/js replacement in a way.

I was thinking about trying to write a webserver with it and was wondering if anyone had any previous experience with it.

Maybe I'll make a post about my experience with it after I ship out my startup to prod/app-stores. I was going to try to write a replacement to enms.io but since its already open source I can't really justify the 2-3 weeks to hack something out,while also adding Nim to the problem set.

I have to say though, a reads-like python but compiles like c/rust/etc. has really garnered my interest. They had an excerpt about decentralized package management with nimble and that really made me raise my eyebrows.
