Congrats to all involved.

I find Nim to be an absolutely fascinating language. I've been trying to find a reason to use it on my job (my work is mobile-adjacent so the idea of compiling to JS and to ObjC is fascinating) but haven't gone beyond playing around with it so far. I've been comparing it to Rust and it's just so much simpler to get started with.

Somewhat related, you can call Nim code from Node.js/Bun using Denim: https://github.com/openpeeps/denim. It works by creating a Node add-on.

This is great for reusing Nim code in a web app, and possibly for performance critical code.
