it's perfect.

not really.
std lib sucks.
Compilers been buggy since 0.9- 2.X,X, and it's extremely slow to build. (D's ref compiler can spit out 20 errors before Nim's can even finish figuring out the errors).
And the Araq borderline abandons 2.0 to chase 3.0
And they're only just now adding incremental comp.
Here's hoping Nimony (3.0) Fixes Everything™ but i'm sure it won't and Araq will find something else to tinker away with and promise 4.0 will Fix Everything™

They are adding ic to nim 2.
Plus Araq said nim3 is delayed because they put more effort on nim2.

Languages need to stop adding features. All languages that are more abstract that C should include a macro system powerful enough to implement language features through the macro system. Just release a 1.0 that has the minimum amount of features necessary for a standard lib, implement a good high-performance FFI, and then implement all language features through macros in first party libraries.

Nim has AST macros but they're a miserable, broken mess.
Even if they weren't I'm quite convinced they're an anti-feature
>>
>>107928975
That's because Nim repeated the mistake of using C-like syntax.
This is yet another language that wanted to be a lisp.

not really. It's directly inspired by Pascal, and deviates from C for a lot of things.
