prologue

"Great" smells very subjective. I went to https://forum.nim-lang.org/ . Put "flask" in the search box. Second hit (https://forum.nim-lang.org/search?q=flask) is this: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/11032 . That mentions not one but 2 projects (https://github.com/HapticX/happyx & https://github.com/planety/prologue). If either/both are not "great enough" in some particulars you want, why not raise a github issue? (Or even better look into adding said particulars yourself? This is really the main way Python grew its ecosystem.)

One of the reasons for choosing Nim was the ease of getting a production ready web backend. For the core part of managing the backend we are using existing Nim libraries [1], and they are easy to expand and work with. I cannot give you a comparison with Go since I haven't managed that large Go projects - but for Nim we are all into the async and threading. I think the channels within the threading is hardest part in Nim, but work is being done it.

Has anyone tried prologue? https://github.com/planety/prologue

If you want to try an alternative to Jester, Prologue is very nice to use: https://github.com/planety/prologue

Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!): * Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell * Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library. * Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue * Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim * Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort= * Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C

Nim is the most readable language I've ever seen. I've dabbled with Go, but Nim is almost like pseudocodes+types. Highly recommend you take a look and try it out! You can use libraries like https://github.com/planety/prologue or https://github.com/treeform/pixie to create something quickly and fun(compile times are faaasst!). And Nim does not have a mandatory GC, you can go as low-level as you want, but in case you don't want that you can choose from several great GC's(a capable soft real-time GC and Boehm for example). Or you could combine the best of both worlds and take a look at the shiny fancy ARC/ORC deterministic memory management: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/10/15/introduction-to-arc-orc...

Oh, thought you were same poster. Well, that other person mentioned it in a context which doesn't appear to be related to systems programming. Just checked Github for some of the top Nim projects. Forum software: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum/search?q=nil&unscoped_q... Web framework: https://github.com/planety/prologue/search?q=nil&unscoped_q=... Twitter front-end: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/search?q=nil&type=Code These uses of "nil" don't appear to have anything to do with systems programming.

I'm planning on trying out the new Prologue framework. Seems promising from the readme! https://github.com/planety/prologue
