NimConf 2022 will be held tomorrow, October 22nd, from 10:00 UTC.
We have 11 pre-recorded talks, which you'll be able to watch live as they premiere and interact with the authors via YouTube live chat.
Here is a dedicated web page where you can see all the talks and their timeline: https://nim-lang.org/nimconf2022/
And here is a direct link to the YouTube playlist with all the talks.
Happy and excited about the upcoming NimConf!🥳 🚀
Very curious about all the talks but I gotta ask: @treeform what does "Scratch built games" mean? Games built from scratch? Does it has anything to do with https://scratch.mit.edu/ ?
Me and @hugogranstrom probably overdid it a bit in terms of talk duration (it was not easy doing the talk together but it was definitely fun and would do it again!), but we packed a lot of content, including some new stuff and an announcement at the very end, so I hope you will be able to stick around, and we plan anyway to be there to answer questions or tell more stuff about nimib.
I think it refers to boiling the ocean / embracing NIH syndrome / doing everything yourself / yak shaving.
Treeform and co have written their own libraries for everything, and they have similar sounding names like: jsony and pixie and netty because I guess once you start trying to do everything yourself, you end up running out of steam for naming things.
Anywho, I'm guessing the talk is going to be more about this and less about creating games with MIT Scratch.
here are the slides of our talk (me and @hugogranstrom): https://pietroppeter.github.io/nimconf22-nimib/

Had time to catch up with the talks I had not yet watched, and it was a great nimconf. Thanks to Nim team for organizing and to all other speakers to produce such great content!
And although I was not there, there are multiple reports (check #nimconf channel on discord) of Tim Sweeney congratuling Juan Gomez in the Unreal talk! 🤯
Likely unrelated, but it seems he (Tim) is also working with Simon Peyton Jones to create a new language (Verse): https://haskell.foundation/podcast/11/
So Tim, is there anything you want to tell us? 😅
