an apps list is here

else you have :

Vala (compiles to C, some GTK apps are written in this) - https://vala.dev/

There's also been a language called Vala, active since 2006!

https://vala.dev

The only language I can think of that fully meets these requirements is Vala. It is GNOME-centric, is available in any distro, has automatic memory management, and has bindings to a ton of open source libs.

> In my understanding, Nim at the moment is really a transpiled language, instead of compiled. Transpiled to C, then tooling uses clang or gcc to do compilation from C to target platforms.

If I understood correctly, like the Vala language: https://vala.dev/ (Note: Vala is strongly integrated with GObject).

compiler support for object construction shorthand

Well, maybe not writing. Occasionally low-level C libraries - especially those that deal with keyboard input - decide to provide identifiers differing only in case... There's a WIP RFC for providing a way to deal with identifiers that need to be verbatium by surrounding them with backticks, though.

Following The Roadmap 2023 for community building , you could join us in the matrix space where we discuss how to build a community. We appreciate doable suggestions and helps, such as improving the workflow, implementing the roadmap, suggesting doable tasks, reviewing code from contributors. United we stand. We shall work together to make the community thrive.

First of all, the Nim development follows The Roadmap 2023, which specifies what features might be implemented or removed in 2023. As we can see, completing incremental compilation and recursive module dependencies might be the most important tasks to be done in 2023. You might subscribe to the roadmap and write down your expectations of Nim in 2023 there.
