Nim in 2020: A Short Recap

• react-16.nim

  2 13 0.0 Nim

  React 16.x bindings for Nim 1.0 with example app (WIP)

For me, it's a full stack language, write the frontent with karax https://github.com/pragmagic/karax or react bindings https://github.com/kristianmandrup/react-16.nim and backend in pure nim with any of the available web frameworks (jester/prologue/looper) and orms (ormin/norm) and share code and type declaration between the two.

• Nim

  347 16,104 9.9 Nim

  Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).

  

This might have been excused if they didn't also forbid tabs unless you use a hack (https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Whitespace-FAQ#tabs-vs-...), was interested in learning until I found this out

• InfluxDB

• cligen

  32 489 8.4 Nim

  Nim library to infer/generate command-line-interfaces / option / argument parsing; Docs at

If a little CLI app to do something useful (instead of say, some shell script/batch file or something) is your entry point then you might try cligen [1]. Everyone is different, but from many and varied reports, it is hugely more probable that you get up & running with some basic skills in like 30 minutes to four hours or so with Nim than you would with Rust. Nim really seems to "scale up gracefully" for most.

• nimforum

  29 749 5.1 Nim

  Lightweight alternative to Discourse written in Nim

  

You can certainly get stateful components with Karax. Perhaps I am missing something but Karax itself doesn't need any special support for them.

In the code for NimForum I've laid out each component as a stateful component, one example is the `threadlist` module: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum/blob/master/src/fronten.... You can see the `State` type defined there and all components follow this convention.

• RFCs

  33 134 4.2

  A repository for your Nim proposals. (by nim-lang)

  

There's definitely some talk in the community on improving dev tooling as a logical next step to improve adoption, eg: https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/300
