Could you elaborate? Is this about the timing of nim releases?

Calonger (orginal) [2023-11-17T16:32:58+01:00] view original

Yes . They are too scarce . Everything in 2.0 not need take 2 year to release ( time between 1.6 and 2.0 release ) .

Curious as to why you are running a survey when the frequent feedback in this forum is routinely ignored.

Because it's a tradition by now. Also, feedback is not "ignored", it's just that we know how to prioritize and who is paying our bills.

for example?

Given that the forum feedback just recently informed the decision to focus on IC I don't think I agree.

freeflow (orginal) [2023-11-19T11:05:05+01:00] view original

Its the general impression I have from reading this forum over the past few years. Citing a few recent changes doesn't change that impression.

Feedback from individuals is not the same as a poll.

I think the fact that the majority of Nim programmers have more than 10 years of professional software development experience is a huge selling point for the language.

No one here is forced to learn and code in Nim. We do it because we all enjoy it. It's pretty fun, it's easy to read and write with, it's powerful, blah blah, we know this. But all of the things Nim presents itself as and all of its features are backed by the fact it's spread by word-of-mouth and really experienced devs seem to be simply sticking to Nim when they come across it.
