This is a decade old lesson, well understood by few developers that want their code to be around for a while. The HN "web developers" are a different crowd.

This criticism usually comes from people that do not use Nim. I was very surprised as well at first - now after 1 year of using Nim I realize I never run into any trouble because o…

If only people stopped writing this stuff in javascript.

A lot of people like to think that software fragmentation comes without any drawback. Having many tiny libraries and/or multiple versions hurts in the long term.

Nim has a powerful templating system that allows introducing new syntactic elements and semantics, but maybe you are thinking about generating output code in multiple languages (C,…

This comparison is just silly, the context and the implications of the 4 points are entirely different.

"I have kids to feed" was used to justify many atrocities throughout history.

It's terrible indeed, and it works only if javascript is enabled.

Not illogical at all. Cost makes a huge difference.

Nim is really underrated.
