  347 16,060 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).

  

No, it is not - Nim's compiler backend is extremely complex and full of cruft. I've been around Nim for 7+ years now and there's a reason the compiler was hard forked.

Nim's compiler is definitely not speedy, and this is why so much effort has been spent on incremental compilation, which tmk, still isn't working - https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/19757.

  The Crystal Programming Language

  

One major issue that stopped me from trying Crystal is that Windows support is being worked on since 2013 and is still WIP as of 2022 with major language features still not working...

  Very simple PostgreSQL async api for nim. (by treeform)

Glad to hear you're interested in Nexus. The ORM currently uses db_postgres (from Nim's stdlib) only. I'm going to implement support for db_mysql and db_sqlite as well, it should be easy enough given how similar the API for the stdlib DB drivers are.

Actual work on DB drivers is out-of-scope for me though. I noticed there is an async Postgres driver available: https://github.com/treeform/pg. I don't know how well tested this driver is, and no mention of pipelining support.

It would be great to see Nim's web frameworks higher up on the Techempower benchmarks. Lack of such DB driver features usually comes down to time. The support for those features in stdlib would be a good bounty issue.

  🍻 Default formulae for the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  

How would I check that? I installed it through homebrew via https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/... which doesn't seem to mention debug mode anywhere?

  A fast, ergonomic and portable tensor library in Nim with a deep learning focus for CPU, GPU and embedded devices via OpenMP, Cuda and OpenCL backends

how are u compiling (optimization, custom compilation flags etc.?) In my case https://github.com/mratsim/Arraymancer big project compile under your 4.2s so or you have like 10k+ lines of codes with macros or you just pass some debug flags to compiler :D
