Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
This is really cool! I love the JSX-like approach to UI and it's a shame it's not so common on desktop. https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle is the only thing I find comparable.

Simple Gamepad Support
Although for a GUI (if I even made one, rather than just a fixed/hardcoded setup) I'd probably use Owlkettle(though there are some things I don't like about it, see closed issue 16).

How should one start a GUI library
There's also Owlkettle that seems a bit easier/cleaner IMO, though when I tried it I had some issues (clunky container workflow, wanting better scaling) and would prefer something similar using Qt.

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.
