Nim is a cool language—not sure why this is being shared now though; this repo has been dormant for some time. A newer effort is Sarcophagus,by SJMG

It's cool to see Nim in the wild, you don't hear about it oftenby vmsp

It really could use a good corporate sponsor and a couple of widely known success stories.by Octoth0rpe

From what I've seen it _seems_ the language's creator is not interested in corporate sponsorship. It's been some time since I was interested in Nim, so I don't have any direct references to this claim. A web search would probably provide several examples. It was one of the main reasons why I decided to focus on other languages.by nallerooth

In many ways it already has a corporate sponsor (and has had it for many years now). It's actually the company that built this framework.by dom96

AIUI, Reddit uses it for some internal tools. They would be a good backer.by kitd

this is a who comes first, chicken or eggNim is one of those languages that tries to be everything for everyone, trying to fill the range from python to C++
If Nim had any strategic edge anywhere, someone smart would have picked it up to build something very successful and it would have had more sponsors

It sits in the sweet spot for projects like nitter--which is not the kind of work that's attracting investment right now, but that's due to markets being a clumsy tool for deciding what should be done and nothing to do with Nim's merits.by __MatrixMan__

I'm wondering why this was posted now, seeing how the latest actual code commit there is from 2 years ago, and the documentation section of the readme is literally a blank header:> ## Documentation

If I remember right, Nim sprang out from the D language community and uses it for different modules. It's been a long time since I kept up with the Nim community.by jadbox
