That's some heavy stuff! And equally as interesting. Is it something you use often?

Randomness heavy stuff ;-) How is Nim's support for random number generation? What would be a typical problem solved with these?

Symbolic computation is a really cool tech. It's amazing that a computer can "understand" math to a certain extent :-D. Would be interesting to see how much easier it will be to implement in Nim compared to C++.

Your project seems really cool ;-) I really like the simplistic graphics! The integrators are my favorite part of the simulations :-D It's really interesting to compare the different integrators around. In this simulation that is written in Javascript I have implemented most of the integrators

Have you considered electronic circuit simulation like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE)

Recently I really got interested in orbits and gravitational n-body, it sounds like you are interested in this as well: [https://github.com/treeform/orbits](https://github.com/treeform/orbits) * I can do Simple Elliptical Orbits, based on orbital elements. * I can do orbits based on Kernel

Symbolic computation. When my current project is done (implementing an algorithm in C++) I want to do a comparison between C++, Nim, Ada, and perhaps something else.

I'm a computational science enthusiast and I've mostly dabbled with Python because of its ease of writing code. But it was lacking the speed I wanted for my simulations (mostly gravitational n-body) so I started looking into other options and I found Nim. And how grateful I am for that! It
