nexus VS Boost.Asio

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

Indeed looks like it, strand_executor_service.hpp is using a Mutex internally (otherwise it wouldn't make sense to me).

as a side note, Asio is also released as an independent library without the boost stuff https://think-async.com/Asio/

Now that vinniefalco is going to kill off the asio standalone (see deprecate standalone ) and only support boost what would people then recommend to switch over to.

The ASIO framework can be found at https://think-async.com/Asio/ and the relevant license for its use is included in the GitHub repository in the Vendor/licenses directory.

The library is found at https://think-async.com/Asio/.

Asio Extracted from the much bigger Boost C++ library, it's apparently a really good networking library. As a bonus it also handles async / threads. Here's a really good video tutorial by OneLoneCoder

Here's the main contributor to Asio. I looked at Asio's repository and this was the first guy.
