That is a clean looking logo indeed, I like it and could be an nice alternative for people that are looking for other looks.

1. Not for C# specifically no, BUT if you know C# well learning the necessary for Nim is easy, only thing you have to stumble over is the OOP-ness which Nim doesn't enforce. The beginner resources in the "Learn" tab should work fine for you: https://nim-lang.org/learn.html

Sorry not that I know of, but if you have any questions feel free to post here or in the gitter/discord/irc.

3. Godot-nim works fine, it uses GDNative. It is usable albeit some bugs need to be ironed out because of Nim 1.0 support. It doesn't support web export. Compared to C# (a lot less edge cases) imho it's on par, however they're making a lot of progress in improving C# support. If you like a code-only workflow try out nimgame2: https://github.com/Vladar4/nimgame2

Check the 'GUI' section here: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Curated-Packages

I've never used debugging and nim before but this might help: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2017/10/02/documenting-profiling-and-debugging-nim-code.html Hoping someone else can chime in on this

For Windows, in my experience, yes. NeoVim is big too but I haven't gotten it to work on Windows (yet).

Yes! Multiple even. Personally I use: https://github.com/nimgl/nimgl but there are alternatives like: https://github.com/jackmott/easygl and a BGFX wrapper https://github.com/zacharycarter/bgfx.nim

Hi, I am a Windows + Nim user. I found VS Code is the best editor for Nim. These are the reasons

It's very good IDE

Installing a Nim extension in VS Code is very very easy.

There is an extension named code-runner, which helps us to run our nim files in VS Code.

I tried vim, but extension installation process is horrible or i am not smart enough to do it.

You don't actually have to install any other extensions than Nim to run your code. If Nim is in path you can just press F6 and the current source file will compile
