Nim does not have a native ssl and regex lib in the standard library like golang or python. These libraries are taken for granted nowadays.

It doesn't? https://nim-lang.org/docs/re.html and https://nim-lang.org/docs/net.html are part of nim's standard library. Are they missing something you expect?
They are dependent on pcre and openssl respectively unlike Golang which is native.
Well, sure Golang, but to be fair they are not native pure Python in Python's stdlib either...

This is more broadly relevant since part of the appeal of Nim is its easy C/C++ interoperability (by generating to these and so only requiring some declaration).
