[Discussion] Nim Programming language - thoughts? (nim-lang.org)

Anyone have experience using Nim? The TLDR that I am seeing is compiled portable python/js replacement in a way.

I was thinking about trying to write a webserver with it and was wondering if anyone had any previous experience with it.

First time hearing about Nuitka and it sounds promising for Python devs. But from a quick glance it is merely an AOT compiled Python.
For me, Nim has big advantage over Python: types that are statically checked at compile time.
Types make you reason about your code more. Good LSP uses types to suggest you code without any AI and shows you errors before you have to run your script/programm.
