> - Nim: C/C++ interop is second to none. This is very wrong. There is perfect c interop - you can import c functions using {.importc.} pragma. C++ interop is best i have seen so far. You can use c++ template types! Here is the sample: https://github.com/3dicc/Urhonimo/blob/master/modules/contai... Of course it is not perfect. For example if you would like to override c++ method you will have to write a bit of c++ code using {.emit.} pragma. I do not know a single language that could map c++ template types into it's own generic types like nim can.

Webdev and games are fairly well covered, not sure about IOT but as far as embedded goes I know people are using it on arduino & RPi. Check out the stdlib: http://nim-lang.org/docs/lib.html Some interesting projects related to the above: Webdev frameworks: https://github.com/dom96/jester https://flyx.github.io/emerald/ https://github.com/onionhammer/nim-templates.git Gamedev: Urho3D game engine wrapper: https://github.com/3dicc/Urhonimo Nim GLSL framework (allows writing GLSL in Nim, meaning you can use metaprogramming in GLSL): https://github.com/yglukhov/nimsl Roguelike api: https://github.com/Vladar4/libtcod-nim/ SFML lib: https://github.com/BlaXpirit/nim-csfml SDL lib: https://github.com/PMunch/SDLGamelib High level glfw wrapper: https://github.com/ephja/nim-glfw Chipmonk wrapper: https://github.com/fowlmouth/nimrod-chipmunk/ Blog on

Compiling down to C also makes wrapping C++ libraries much easier. Because when you compile down to C, it's not that much of a stretch to also allow compilation to C++. You can then make wrapping C++ code much easier in the language. Nim is one language that I know of which takes advantage of that. Here is one example of a pretty large wrapper around a C++ library https://github.com/3dicc/Urhonimo, and here is the documentation for this feature http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific...

And there's a Nim wrapper for Urho3D: https://github.com/3dicc/Urhonimo http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/870
