[Discussion] Nim Programming language - thoughts? (nim-lang.org)

Anyone have experience using Nim? The TLDR that I am seeing is compiled portable python/js replacement in a way.

I was thinking about trying to write a webserver with it and was wondering if anyone had any previous experience with it.

I've been using it for 2 years or so, mostly for hobby programming, and I really love it, it's been great for the kinds of things that I do at least :) Feels great and logical to write, and it'more or less works the same way my mind does, the type system is really good think something like Ada, and it can be both a pretty low level, and high level langauge. YMMV, but I really like it personally.
