It's really nice to see that the Nim ecosystem is gaining more and more traction. A good web framework is indeed quite an important step towards making a language/ecosystem more appealing to a more general audience.

I've yet to encounter a small enough project with low risk where I could get away with trying something completely new, but I'm looking forward to trying Nim in the (hopefully very near) future.

One negative thing that stood out to me was that commit messages are sometimes really bad, like "break" or "let me try". I'm not trying to bash the author, but I feel it's somewhat unprofessional.

I guess all roads do lead to Prolog. Why risk the naming confusion? Doing a search for "prologue language" yields millions of Prolog results on both DDG and Google.

This project isnt a language, it's a framework. Searching "prologue framework" or "prologue web framework" returns this repo as the first result.

I have played around with it a bit and I just love the way the routes and middlewares are defined in this. I think the latest and greatest v0.4 will be released shortly, so anyone who is interested, do keep an eye out.

Nim always was a bit lacking in webdev but with Prologue and Basolato, the web is suddenly looking much more interesting.

Not the most relevant point, but those commit messages don't inspire confidence :/ E: I do like it, though. Don't want to bash on the project for no reason, just would prefer it if the maintainer tried to have better commit messages!

It does not instill confidence, for sure. 1 word commit messages, and even they have some typos, also "yeah".
