Basically lack of polish. Nim's compiler just keeps evolving around unfinished and unpolished ideas never reaching a momentum.

It's a research project of its BDFL and he is alienating the most senior developers and contributors to Nim's ecosystems (ie Zedeus).

And yet I dont see any Flutter macos apps at all.

Nim could do better with more than just 1 or 2 brilliant developers

Yeah but when you get old enough you get sacked and cant get employed anywhere and have to start frying chicken. So..

Yea there is no incentive. Why use Swift on the server or in k8s when you have gazillion other languages that are performant and have the ecosystems.

If Swift was paired with smh like QT/GTK (could have replaced Vala) it would've been interesting.

You can use swift on the server but what for? You have a gigantic ecosystems in languages X,Y,Z.

Even Apple does not use Swift on the server (AFAIK) so why would you?

Swift lives only for macOS,iOS and besides those ecosystems does not have a solid and robust ecosystem to be used for anything else.

It's a shame but it for sure needs BigTech for it to be used anywhere else.

I think it's not about that but about dogfooding Swift on the server. Apple uses Go, Java etc for a lot of its server components and refused to invest in hiring people that would extend the ecosystem for server Swift.

Thats the problem.

ARC is a form of garbage collection. Swift does not fare better than Go usually.

Nano-texture is worth the upgrade if you are on a macbookpro whatever M<cpu> and dont have it.

For those of us with astigmatism it's really night and day experience.

There are no european alternatives. These are all european companies but they dont benefit the whole union.

If a germany company gets big it will eat other european markets leaving nothing in those markets and then beg Merz for more immigrants to Germany instead of hiring other europeans.

Yes it does. Japan has a top down culture which does not see change as something useful.
