nimpy reviews and mentions

• I Use Nim Instead of Python for Data Processing

• Mojo is now available on Mac

  I mean honestly, the closest language to Mojo really is Nim. In the latest Lex Fridman interview [0] when he talks about his ideas behind Mojo it pretty much sounds like he's describing Nim. Ok fair, he wants Mojo to be a full superset of Python, but honestly with nimpy [1] our Python interop is about as seamless as it can really be (without being a superset, which Mojo clearly is not yet). Even the syntax of Mojo looks a damn lot like Nim imo. Anyway, I guess he has the ability to raise enough funds to hire enough people to write his own language within ~2 years so as not have to follow random peoples whim about where to take the language. So I guess I can't blame him. But as someone who's pretty invested in the Nim community it's quite a shame to see such a hyped language receive so much attention by people who should really check out Nim. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  You can also do this in Nim, which basically means you can write any program you could in Python with libraries in Nim. https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy

• Prospects of utilising Nim in scientific computation?
  3 projects | /r/nim | 3 Jun 2023

  I use Python daily for its massive momentum for scientific stuff, but I also use Nim for everything else. Nim compiles to C, and making Python native modules with Nim is easy with Nimpy.

• Can't run compiled nim code in Python
  1 project | /r/learnpython | 28 May 2023
• Returning to Nim from Python and Rust
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Feb 2023

  If are a data scientist and come from python take a look at nimpy, a great way to just import python libraries and use them! https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy Numpy, pandas, pytorch all usable in Nim.

  Nim is the ultimate glue language, use libraries from anything: python, c, js, objc.

• Python's “Disappointing” Superpowers
  9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Feb 2023

  I've come to really enjoy programming in Nim. Note that Nim is very different language despite sharing a similar syntax. However, I feel it keeps a lot of the "feel" of Python 2 days of being a fairly simple neat language but that lets you do things at compile time (like compile time duck typing).

  There's a good Python -> Nim bridge: https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy

• Dunder methods in nimpy
  2 projects | /r/nim | 3 Jan 2023

  See this nimpy issue about it: https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy/issues/43

• What language to move to from python to speed up algo?
  4 projects | /r/algotrading | 7 Dec 2022

  It has pretty good integration with python, either for having your main code in python and writing small hot functions as nim and importing via nimporter or using python libraries in nim via nimpy.
