I made some small things with Nim, like a reader for HTML that converts into a database.
The structure is very simple and the generics are very meta and can be combined with macros.

In programming it is like an improvement on LISP with types. And it encourages you to keep things plain and simple.
It even looks like Python.

I started working a book about it yesterday. Which says a lot. I'm not a guy easily convinced by new stuff.

But nim I just didn't know about.

I still wonder how the fuck this could happen, but that is not the point here. I wanted to try out something else than Erlang or Julia for a long time. As my main languages.

Seemingly every one of my colleagues does Rust, so nim is perfectly fine for me.

I'm always the offbeat guy. Every one knowing me knows that. I've got to defend the spin on a legend here, you know ?
