Yeah, nim ticks all the boxes, but the ecosystem around it should grow a bit more until I can develop comfortably with it.

vlang[0] also seems like a nice golang "fork" that I'd be willing to spend time on.

As a personal choice, would rather use Vlang than Nim. Like the potential and what I'm seeing from Vlang, though was hoping the cross-platform UI would be further along. As it is, they are developing quite quickly.


Not wanna bring down that project, but be wary of V, as in the past it has made plenty of impossible to live up to “features” and indeed, never delivered. But I haven’t followed it since then.


I'm aware of the controversy, and I've been following its development for some time now. It seems to be developed at a neck-breaking pace, but I'm still waiting for an official "go!" license before I start playing with it.

I hope they succeed because it has/promises a really attractive set of features.
