Nim feels like a really amazing language. There were some minor things that I wanted to do with it. Like trying to solve a codeforces question just out of mere curiosity to build something on top of it.
I felt like although it was similar to python. You can't underestimate the python's standard library features which I felt lacking. I am not sure if these were skill issues. Yes these are similar languages but I would still say that I really welcome a language like SPy too.
The funny thing is that I ended up architecting a really complicated solution to a simple problem in nim and I was proud of it and then I asked chatgpt thinking no way there can be anything simpler for it in nim and I found something that worked in 7-10 or 12* lines and my jaw dropped lol. Maybe chatgpt could be decent to learn nim imo or reading some nim books for sure but the packages environment etc. felt really brittle as well.
I think that there are good features of both nim and SPy and I welcome both personally.
GPT is amazing at Nim. Ive used it to find a subtle bug in a macro that’s hundreds of lines of code.
