nim-chronos VS nimbus-eth1

Ones that have not been mentioned so far:

nlvm is an unofficial LLVM backend: https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm

npeg lets you write PEGs inline in almost normal PEG notation: https://github.com/zevv/npeg

futhark provides for much more automatic C interop: https://github.com/PMunch/futhark

nimpy allows calling Python code from Nim and vice versa: https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy

questionable provides a lot of syntax sugar surrounding Option/Result types: https://github.com/codex-storage/questionable

ratel is a framework for embedded programming: https://github.com/PMunch/ratel

cps allows arbitrary procedure rewriting to continuation passing style: https://github.com/nim-works/cps

chronos is an alternative async/await backend: https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos

zero-functional fixes some inefficiencies when chaining list operations: https://github.com/zero-functional/zero-functional

owlkettle is a declarative macro-oriented library for GTK: https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle

A longer list can be found at https://github.com/ringabout/awesome-nim.

don't forget your fourth option: chronos

It certainly seems it will be remembered as a major success story for open p2p protocols on the global Internet of our time.

A great multitude of developers and enthusiasts belonging or contributing to diverse teams spread across the world: developing, debating, and collaborating for years to arrive at the big event.

And it's all been done very much in the public view:

https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth1 (yes, this is also for eth2, see "About" at top right)

I expect we will see a "merged" client in the future. Nimbus could be the closest of anyone to this vision (nimbus-eth1, nimbus-eth2). Not sure when this will happen though. Anyways, you have to remember -- these are two extremely complicated pieces of software. Just the interface between the two has been developed and tests over the last 18 months. I think there will always need to be serious encapsulation of logic for it to be maintainable.
