If I understood your point correctly you are talking about the binary size? Me naively compiling with `nim c -d:release` and running `strip` on it gives the server binary to be around 700kb, and it's dynamically linked to glibc. There are tricks and stuff to make this smaller [1], but it's already small enough and easy enough to deploy.

Plus Nim is fast! I can load the index page of this application at 90k requests per second single-threaded on a laptop from a few years ago.
