I am not a developer, but I find this [thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13205899) interesting (despite there is plenty of stuff that I don't understand).
Given that nim is going into 1.0, it might be interesting for those of you with the knowledge, just to check that there is nothing fundamental in the language which prevents using it for numerical computation. They mention things like: > Multi-dimensional arrays, non-aliasing arrays and pointers, multi-dimensional > array intrinsics, intrinsic array binary operators... all come with Fortran > right out of the box > > Rust has great potential to challenge Fortran in this domain, but numerics is > mostly an afterthought in Rust. Maybe it is not the case of Nim (I am a newbie looking for a python alternative).
