    The frontend uses Karax, which is my favorite frontend/SPA library. It is an absolute joy to use, even if it's a bit rough around the edges.

    I have used Nim for personal projects for 6 years now and it continues to surprise me on how well versed it is for many problem domains. I am fond of it's SPA framework, karax https://github.com/karaxnim/karax for which I wrote a translation utility https://github.com/nim-lang-cn/html2karax Latest Nimv2 release candidate has improved in the ergonomics and syntax that affect compilation to js, so I was able to cleanup my webapp's code to be less verbose. On GPU programming there has been a few projects that touch GPU programming, most notably https://github.com/treeform/shady

    And it's present not only in Python but in other languages as well. Check for example https://github.com/karaxnim/karax - I don't know why people would want to hide all of their HTML in Python/whatever language. Then limit their ability to script and style it in one way or another.

    > the real killer feature to me is the javascript target

    Agree, this is amazing because you can share code and data structures between front and backend (for example: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax).

    Also, it's really nice having high level stuff like metaprogramming and static typing spanning both targets. Things like reading a spec file and generating statically checked APIs for server/client is straightforward, which opens up a lot of possibilities.

  • How to use JS to make a front end

    I recommend you to take a look at Karax. It's a front-end framework for Nim that can compile to regular JavaScript. If you want to know how to use it with a webserver, Joker is a good example. With the Joker config, all of the compiled .js files land in /public/views, where you can take a look at them. But keep in mind that the JS that Nim produces is often rather cumbersome and hundreds of lines long, even if it's just a simple program.
