    Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!):

    * Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell

    * Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library.

    * Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue

    * Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim

    * Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort=

    * Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C and C++ interop, you get access to a lot of gamedev libraries!

    * Embedded: this is a domain I know very little about but for example https://github.com/elcritch/nesper or https://github.com/PMunch/badger for fun Nim+embedded stuff!

    Most of the disadvantages come from tooling and lack of $$$ support.

    Prologue is a great web framework in the Nim world. However, Prologue framework tries to avoid using macros. It is intended to reduce magic and reduce surprise. Macros could save you from redundant codebases. At the mean time, it could bring surprise. This article talks about how to extend the routing style outside Prologue without invading inside the web framework.

    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).

    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.
