My only gripe with Nim is, as usual with non-mainstream languages, lack of libraries and frameworks (and lack of polish in the ones that exist, like Jester). The language itself is good and it's still evolving, so it has a chance of getting even better.
BTW: I've read your book, great job! The "Advanced concepts" part was a bit too short (I'd gladly trade some of the earlier chapters for more examples of both FFI and metaprogramming), but I generally enjoyed the book.
Also, I like how the code listings are annotated - how did you generate them? Is there some software specifically for this, or did you have to position all the arrows and lines and text manually?

We need you to help us change that :)

Thanks!

I used asciidoc to write the book and then my publisher applied some magic to format everything nicely. Not sure about the details I'm afraid.
