nexus VS Altair

Nexus: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus

This is a web framework + ORM for Nim. It's in desperate need of more work to support DBs other than PostgreSQL and make the ORM more flexible. The web side also needs more work.

I use it mainly for high-performance backend engines. E.g. I'm writing an automated trading system and the trading engine is written in Nim.

I wrote a Nim web framework that has an ORM: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus. However I mainly use the ORM with the back-end engines. You could write a Django-style web app with Nexus + Nimja, but it's difficult to compete with the huge ecosystems of React and Flutter.

It's not good for Nim, unfortunately. The language is great, but the community isn't that big.

If you're looking for a web framework with an ORM for Nim, check out Nexus: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus

There's no Discord yet, just GitHub issues. Here's an issue to track this request: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus/issues/14

I'll email you regarding what/how to help.

Django is a great MVC framework. It might be overkill for a blog as another poster wrote, but it's still a good way to learn Django.

If you ever want to learn Nim, please consider Nexus (https://github.com/jfilby/nexus) as I'm building it to be something like Django for Nim.

Nexus is a Nim development framework.

https://github.com/jfilby/nexus

The aim to create a web framework similar to Django, with a built-in ORM. The view layer needs work, and is mostly built out of available libraries with Jester for routing and Nimja for templating.

Nexus Development Framework, for Nim, is now available: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus

Nim. It's just so quick and easy to write high performance code. That's why I'm writing a web framework for it, soon to be released: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus

I like Vega-Lite: https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/

It’s built by folks from the same lab as D3, but designed as “a higher-level visual specification language on top of D3” [https://vega.github.io/vega/about/vega-and-d3/]

My favorite way to prototype a dashboard is to use Streamlit to lay things out and serve it and then use Altair [https://altair-viz.github.io/] to generate the Vega-Lite plots in Python. Then if you need to move to something besides Python to productionize, you can produce the same Vega-Lite definitions using the framework of your choice.

Feel free to open an issue to let us know which parts of the documentation you find obscure and if you have suggestions for how to improve them. We did a larger overhaul a few months back and are always open to feedback on how to improve it further! https://altair-viz.github.io/

(disclaimer: I'm a co-maintainer of Altair)

Vega-Altair is pretty great as well. It uses a grammar of graphics that’s slightly different from ggplot, but has most of the same advantages.

Github: Altair

Yeah, that's one of the main reasons I like altair. It has 10M downloads per month and the newest Git update is from two days ago.
