> we don't need to call the author stupid or a fool. Sometimes I try to make a friendly face.
But when I see a fool I call him a fool, and when I see garbage I call it garbage. The author has been told about his debug mode issue 4 days ago. And did he care? Not at all. Writing about something when you have not a basic idea about the stuff is not a really good idea. For everyone reading his text it is only wasting of time. There is absolutely no value in the content. "Looks like Python". "Uses let and var keywords". Have you seen his macro example? Useless. What is the result for the reader: Well there is a tiny language called Nim, which has a syntax similar to Python, is a bit faster than Python but still a factor of 5 slower than plain C. Well his conclusion that Nim has a tiny community is correct, but that is no news. Indeed that article is also a very bad promotion for Nim.
