mingw-builds-binaries VS Nim

I've been using these mingw64 builds, both for amd64 and i386 (i686). There are several others out there, like winlibs.com.

I noticed most tutorials recommend downloading the installer from a sourceforge page, https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ but the official MinGW-w64 site provides a link to a GitHub page. https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases Which one is safer? Which one would you choose?

I've tried the latest MinGW-builds-binaries release, and gcc, g++ and mingw32-make seem to work just fine, I was even able to build a project using SDL2! gdb needed bcrypt.dll, so unfortunately that didn't work.

strip * can be run inside Linux, or in Windows I downloaded the posix-sjlj release for mingw64, & then appended its extracted bin directory to the Path environmental variable (from Start Menu type advanced system settings).

The https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries repository is very new, it contains only the yaml file needed to build the toolchains with GitHub Actions.

Recently he created a new repository named https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries which uses the scripts above with GitHub Actions to build windows binaries.

22. Nim - $80,000

I think the right answer to your question would be NimLang[0]. In reality, if you're seeking to use this in any enterprise context, you'd most likely want to select the subset of C++ that makes sense for you or just use C#.

I don't think it's a rust-inspired language, but since it has strong typing and compiles to javascript, did you give a look at nim [0] ?

For what it takes, I find the language very expressive without the verbosity in rust that reminds me java. And it is also very flexible.

I see a valid cert for https://nim-lang.org/

FYI, on the front page, https://nim-lang.org, in large type you have this:

> Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula.

You better off with using a compiled language.

If you interested in a language that's compiled, fast, but as easy and pleasant as Python - I'd recommend you take a look at [Nim](https://nim-lang.org).

And to prove what Nim's capable of - here's a cool repo with 100+ cli apps someone wrote in Nim: [c-blake/bu](https://github.com/c-blake/bu)

Chapel has at least several full-time developers at Cray/HPE and (I think) the US national labs, and has had some for almost two decades. That's much more than $100k.

Chapel is also just one of many other projects broadly interested in developing new programming languages for "high performance" programming. Out of that large field, Chapel is not especially related to the specific ideas or design goals of Mojo. Much more related are things like Codon (https://exaloop.io), and the metaprogramming models in Terra (https://terralang.org), Nim (https://nim-lang.org), and Zig (https://ziglang.org).

But Chapel is great! It has a lot of good ideas, especially for distributed-memory programming, which is its historical focus. It is more related to Legion (https://legion.stanford.edu, https://regent-lang.org), parallel & distributed Fortran, ZPL, etc.
