I love this language. I certainly don't need to explain why to any of you. In my job, I mostly use Python. Not because it has any fundamental advantage as a language; it's usually because I have some set of requirements that there happens to already be a pypi package for that's not in nimble yet. Still, I have completed a great many projects in pure Nim and will continue to. As an aside, one can probably imagine how ticked-off I got the other day when I stumbled across this video in my feed. The guy is clearly hand-waiving and doesn't know what he's talking about but I digress.
The point is that knowing Nim, I never start a new project needing top systems performance and think "I better do this in Go or Rust." I go straight to Nim and never regret it. I'm not particularly wealthy yet but I plan to be. As soon as that happens, I'm dumping a ton of money into Nim. I'm fairly certain that the only reason Nim doesn't yet enjoy the community size of Go or Rust is merely a matter of marketing. So I make this pledge and I hope others do too.
Those who owe their success to Nim should give Nim its cut. In fact, one need not be super-rich to do that and so I'll be making my first donation this week. Idk why I hadn't thought to before. Anyway, back to work omw to my first billions, taking Nim with me.
I believe you misunderstand the guy from the fideo. He was saying about what's the best way to make more money. And superiority of the language pays a very little role (if at all) in that.
What's important in making money - is to identify companies with tons of money, and help them do whatever they need to do. And currently most money are in Java and Python. It has absolutely nothing to do with the superiority of the language.
Sorry guys, I have to stop using Nim and I will become an Excel guru. That's the common tech everyone uses at the companies with tons of money. Even government are using it to great success to stop COVID.
I've got two commercial software in the pipeline proudly being written in pure Nim. Was never going to mention it, but 3% of profits will be going to the developers.
I agree man, this language just needs more marketing because it definitely stands strong on it's own merits.
I was even thinking of starting a YouTube channel in my off time for Nim tutorials and building cool things people would enjoy learning. Like idk.. pokemon games with sdl2, and weird shit you can do with macros.
As a Python developer I initially learned Nim because of the similar syntax and better performance, but after learning Nims metaprogramming it blew my fucking mind with the new possibilities and power it has to offer us.
