Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Nim
- `nim secret`[0]: code is interpreted with Nim's vm, it is limited to compile-time (e.g. no C/C++).
- `nlvm r`[1]: nlvm backend supports JIT compilation and repl-like interface was added in latest release.
- `inim`[2]: supports all nim code, but it's not really a true repl. It adds code to a file and recompiles it (you can see the source file with `ctrl+x`). I'd recommend to use it with clang compiler, because it's a bit faster than gcc in my experience. It's the best option right now. And I use it almost daily.
First two options have rudimentary input system. But you can get command history and left-right navigation by wrapping them with rlwrap (should be preinstalled on most *nixes): `rlwrap nim secret`, `rlwrap nlvm r`.
There are plans to support incremental compilation for the next Nim release (it is currently broken). That would improve inim and other repls experience significantly.

Writing a presentation to introduce rustlang to my dev team, and I've got to the "downsides" part.
Go must be terrible to google too! Nim's easy to google though, it's how I got to rust really. I'm actually the maintainer of inim, the nim repl: https://github.com/inim-repl/INim

Nitter (Twitter front end) is working again
The frontend uses Karax, which is my favorite frontend/SPA library. It is an absolute joy to use, even if it's a bit rough around the edges.

I learned 7 programming languages so you don't have to
I have used Nim for personal projects for 6 years now and it continues to surprise me on how well versed it is for many problem domains. I am fond of it's SPA framework, karax https://github.com/karaxnim/karax for which I wrote a translation utility https://github.com/nim-lang-cn/html2karax Latest Nimv2 release candidate has improved in the ergonomics and syntax that affect compilation to js, so I was able to cleanup my webapp's code to be less verbose. On GPU programming there has been a few projects that touch GPU programming, most notably https://github.com/treeform/shady

Web apps in pure Python.
And it's present not only in Python but in other languages as well. Check for example https://github.com/karaxnim/karax - I don't know why people would want to hide all of their HTML in Python/whatever language. Then limit their ability to script and style it in one way or another.

A Cost Model for Nim
> the real killer feature to me is the javascript target
Agree, this is amazing because you can share code and data structures between front and backend (for example: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax).
Also, it's really nice having high level stuff like metaprogramming and static typing spanning both targets. Things like reading a spec file and generating statically checked APIs for server/client is straightforward, which opens up a lot of possibilities.

How to use JS to make a front end
I recommend you to take a look at Karax. It's a front-end framework for Nim that can compile to regular JavaScript. If you want to know how to use it with a webserver, Joker is a good example. With the Joker config, all of the compiled .js files land in /public/views, where you can take a look at them. But keep in mind that the JS that Nim produces is often rather cumbersome and hundreds of lines long, even if it's just a simple program.

Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
