Nim v2.0 Released
Congratulations to everyone involved and the entire Nim community!
Nim has been my language of choice for the past decade and I'm really happy with the new features in Nim 2.0. Some of them are real gamechangers for my projects. For example, default values for objects theoretically allow me to make Norm[1] work with object types along with object instances. And the new overloadable enums is something Karkas [2] wouldn't be possible at all (it's still WIP though).

Nim Version 1.6 Released
In the ORM field, Norm[1] is an actively maintained package that supports SQLite and Postgres. It's framework agnostic, I've used it with Jester and Prologue (it had nothing to do with Prolog btw).
Among frameworks, Prologue is the most actively developed and feature rich.

Nim v2.0 Released
That looks interesting. Unfortunately it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while? Is that because it's complete or a lack of interest?
For example, the approach mentioned at the bottom of the README of integrating via nlvm (https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm) sounded great but appears to be unpursued.

Nim Version 1.6 Released
Being able to compile to C, C++, ObjC, and JavaScript natively (and LLVM using https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm ), along with an excellent FFI (including to and from Python) means you don't need to rewrite dependencies as you can use them directly. Nim is great at glue code - arguably better than Python.
Along with general language characteristics such as being high level and productive like Python, but with intricate "bare metal" control when you want it, really does make it suitable for writing almost everything.
