s/C/NIM

Why don’t more folks use NIM for web development. Seems like the perfect blend of performance, ergonomics and productivity.

How is NIM doing? When I first read your comment I thought you were talking about Zig ( since that is the language that seems to pop up a lot these days ). It took me a second to catch myself. It feels like I have not heard about NIM in ages.

I am sure the D and V guys are asking themselves the same question.

Last I look and played around with Nim, what I felt was missing is a good way of doing templating. Beyond that I honestly enjoyed working in Nim more that both Go and Rust, which where the other two language I attempted to learn last year.
Because there's already Java/C#/Go/Rust/C++ in that space.
Nim/Zig/Crystal - these three languages look the same to me for some reason
