This is a Nim forum - for people who like or want to learn Nim. It seems that _tulayang came here to evangelize JavaScript, TypeScript, and Rust (the latter two being direct competitors to Nim). That's fine with me - we can have an open debate. Nim pursues somewhat different design goals than those languages, and I for one happen to like it, including Nim's syntax easthetics. I think TypeScript is uglier than Nim, and it is objectively more verbose. My statement was intended to be brief and humorous, but it's not a "discrediting comment". A programmer can spend 40-80+ hours a week staring at code, and when in the back of your mind you can't help but be repulsed by its ugly syntax and soulless bureaucratic design, that becomes a major drag... > Ok then. What programming language are you using? What libraries are you and > your teams using? What product are you and your teams developing? Are they > not crap? This forum was written in Nim. Its source is more readable than anything in NodeJS, and its performance / scalability should be somewhere between Go and Rust. I'm not an active programmer right now, but the last few small command line utilities I wrote were in Nim. Nim is just getting started... > I don't think so. In the future Google's ChromeOS will be a successful OS I'm sure it will. It has a huge company behind it, and any programmer can do HTML5/JS. But that doesn't mean it's the best possible platform that the best software philosophers, architects, and developers could come up with. No one here is seriously claiming that Nim [will dominate the world [a fun meme from my old FB page]](http://archive.is/GbXz6). We're the rag-tag rebel alliance here, not Oracle, Google, Microsoft, or even Mozilla. Nim is not [Peter Keating](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fountainhead#Peter_Keating); Nim is [Howard Roark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fountainhead#Howard_Roark).
