Late last year I switched my work site from Go to Nim. Then this year, with the help of the community and library nimterop, I was able to wrap the duckdb C api and use it in my web app for really fast analytic queries. I really like Nim syntax and the routes in jester:
routes:
get "/":
resp "Wow, nice"
The false-positive virus issue affected my workstation as well, but after consulting with our security team we were able to resolve it.I would love Nim to have more funding and support.
I like the batteries included approach, but certainly there are some libraries that do things like json better.
Sure. I maintain an internal performance dashboard web app that is fully Nim. Backend uses Jester and the frontend uses Karax + Vega-lite for charts.
Backend: Jester (Nim) Front-end: Karax (Nim) Db: sqlite/mariadb Host: digital ocean
I find that I can implement features much faster and with less code compared to my previous Go/Js stack.
