Since there's been some take about reducing the standard library, and because I was curious, I decided to generate some statistics for usage of the standard library in GitHub projects. I used the top 1000 most starred Nim projects on GitHub.
* * * **Results:** [https://gist.github.com/GULPF/6d49e74af9992f8fc65476a9264488a0](https://gist.github.com/GULPF/6d49e74af9992f8fc65476a9264488a0) Some observations: * `re` is used significantly more than `nre` * `parseopt` is used more than `parseopt2` * About ~25% of the projects use the `macros` module * `posix` is used about twice as much as `winlean` (not surprising) Note: I based the list of stdlib modules on [this](https://nim-lang.org/docs/theindex.html) listing, which includes some modules that are not listed on the main documentation page.
