I’ve written some simple tools in nim for my company. Basically some little console programs that in the past I would have written in Python. Writing them was pretty much as easy a with python but the resulting programs were very fast.
I’d say nim’s standard library is pretty good. Definitely sufficient for the kind of simple command line tools that I’ve written so far. In fact I found some of the nim standard libraries better than Python (e.g. I found nim’s path handling even better than Puthin’s Pathlib, which IMHO is sting a lot). I only miss a good built-in command line parsing library, but there are some good alternatives that you can install with nimble.
