  • I’m very much aware of that, I have programmed stuff in rust as well, but claiming that it’s secure and “better” because it’s rust is just pr, believe me, I can write some really sihtty rust code.

    I’m no evangelist for PHP, but I say use the tool that you know, when I make a new program I’m going to do it in nim, because it’s the langauge that I have the most fun working with. It has mostly the same pros as rust, just with a lot nicer syntax and it’s generally more flexible.

    No shade on people liking rust, but this constant parroting of the same point by people who probably never even used the langauge is getting kind of old.


  • I’m mostly a hobby programmer, and I mostly use nim for most of the stuff I do, it just works very well with how I think and things just work, which I’m really happy about. The type system is really nice, with the right kinds of granularity for things that I want to do.

    For now I’m mostly focused on learning the langauge that I use, and I have been playing around with a lot of different stuff, maybe some kind of forth would be nice to do some real down to the metal stuff, but I very seldomly have to do that. I did play around with factor for a long time, and it’s a very interesting language, it just never really felt comfortable for me, more like a fun puzzle game in a way.
