  • Seq: A programming language for high-performance computational genomics
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Sep 2021
    Nim has had some success in genomics mainly thanks to the work of https://github.com/brentp

    Nim can be sold as a "A strongly-typed and statically-compiled high-performance Pythonic language" as Seq (although it is more than that and does not actually have as a goal to be Pythonic, see https://nim-lang.org/ or https://github.com/Araq/nimconf2021/blob/main/zennim.rst).

    Still, given the small size of Nim community and even smaller size of the genomics nim subcommunity, I would say it is not that odd that is not included in the benchmark. The existing nim genomics library might not even cover the functionalities requested by the benchmark.
