When I started learning Nim I noticed the docs and even the getting started tutorial just threw the kitchen sink at you, it totally overwhelemed me. So here's a simple project I wrote that's easier to understand. I work on this every couple of weeks on Saturdays. https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim For example: parsing html https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim/blob/master/src/c... I wish the Nim team worked on an easier onboarding process to the language. The documentation is in depth but it just throws everything it has at you all at once with no progression.
In Nim – Python-like statically-typed compiled language
If you would like to see some simple to parse Nim code and get a feel for what a "1 month of experience during weekends" Nim looks like, check out my project: https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim Nim is a very interesting language, with a lot of upsides. It just needs that killer framework to get the ball rolling and allow devs to solve business needs quickly. Once that's done I think Nim will grow a lot! Tiny binaries, static binaries, fast, low memory usage, macros, compiles to C.
