Nim visits GTUG Stockholm

Thu, 26 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Yesterday I had the pleasure of presenting the programming language Nim at the Stockholm GTUG . This evening we were around 50 people, I would guess mainly developers, listening to three presentations:

Rust , by Johan Burell, EVRY
Nim , by Göran Krampe, 3DICC
Go , by Marcus Olsson, Citerus

Now, that’s a pretty fitting trio of languages! :) This article is a little followup because I failed to mention so much stuff…

I missed Nim

A year ago I wrote an article trying to round up new languages since year 2000 and what I think of them by just… glancing at them, or otherwise playing with them. I ended up sifting out the 4 most interesting in my not so humble opinion - Go , Rust , Dart and Julia . Now a year has passed and…

I discover that I missed Nim(Nimrod)!

Nim was born somewhere around 2006-ish and is clearly a very serious language to consider, but is going suspiciously under the radar. Having reviewed this language more closely (and still doing so) I can safely say that for me it actually easily tops this list.

I have already posted a few articles about Nim , but this one is meant as a followup to that article trying to make amends :).

NOTE: Technically Nim is still called “Nimrod” up to and including the 0.9.6-release that was done yesterday . But for the upcoming 0.10.0 and onward its Nim. Short and sweet.

Rust on Roads Less Taken
