I feel like Nim made me fall in love with programming again.
Nim fixes many of the issues I had with Python. First, I can now make games with Nim because it’s super fast and easily interfaces with all of the high performance OS and graphics APIs. Second, typos no longer crash in production because the compiler checks everything. If it complies it runs. Finally, refactors are easy, because the compiler practically guides you through them. The cross compiling story is great you can compile to JS on the front end. You can use pytorch and numpy from Nim. You can write CUDA kernels in Nim. It can do everything.
