I am curious about this, was also checking out V, which seems to be similar as it compiles to C, but seems to be closer to Go syntax wise. I think it would be interesting for situations where I want to just do something quickly and not have to think about or have mental blocks in the way because of some complexity in a language. If it was close enough to python where you could just sit down and bang it out, and it comes with all the conveniences of the python standard library, it might be useful.
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.
Good resources about Nim, I’ve collected for past month while learning and falling in love with it: Nim-Lang.org - Tutorials on the official website is one of the best ways to learn syntax.
