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.

The Toit language is now open source
Nothing about the entire ecosystem I was talking about. But my initial work on the keyboard firmware can be found here: https://github.com/PMunch/badger/tree/final. There are many different projects in Nim running on microcontrollers though, but not something on a common ecosystem.

Nim Version 1.6 Released
Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!):
* Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell
* Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library.
* Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue
* Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim
* Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort=
* Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C and C++ interop, you get access to a lot of gamedev libraries!
* Embedded: this is a domain I know very little about but for example https://github.com/elcritch/nesper or https://github.com/PMunch/badger for fun Nim+embedded stuff!
Most of the disadvantages come from tooling and lack of $$$ support.

Looking into Zig
I think the fact that Nim compiles to C is neat in that you can use it on any platform that has a C compiler.
Here is a recent project that uses nim for AVR platforms, for example: https://github.com/PMunch/badger

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.

Will Zig interop with JavaScript/Web at all?
E.g. Nim focuses on enabling what it calls "single page web apps": https://github.com/karaxnim/karax.

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).
