304 :: Could Nimrod be used like 'Dart-to-JS'?

  I'm a newbie at Nimrod (loved the language), and I'm thinking about the scenario of writing both server and client (compiled to JS) of a Web-App/System in Nimrod. Dart, supposedly, compiles to an equal-performant idiomatic JS - while offering several modules for easing web app development.

  Since Nimrod compiles to JS (experimental right now), will Nimrod be a good choice for web apps? (I also saw some Nimrod html-DSL/Macros that looked great).

  And on a tangential question, will the compile-to-C++ allow easy integration/bindings to QT? For nice GUI-Applications?

  Just curious, forgive my naivety and thanks in advance.

  Alessandro.

  You should check out dom96's Jester web framework: https://github.com/dom96/jester

  Now that c2nim grew C++ support wrapping Qt and wxWidgets should be much easier. However c2nim's C++ support has only barely been tested, so it would be great if someone out there volunteered to take it for a test drive.
