The Nim compiler is now also slopcoded.
No it's not. Araq does use LLM to generate code in Nimony but his approach involves very strict control over the produced code, it's nothing like Bun's Zig to Rust endeavor where they just asked it to dk the migration and it produced a million lines of incomprehensible code. Calling it slopcoding is a misnomer.

#22I really enjoyed programming in Nim professionally, and got to know it well. But I've literally never seen a job ad which mentions Nim since then, except at the company I already left (Status), so that's not really an option.
After realising there's no work in it, I struggled to justify using Nim in new projects including personal projects, even though I like the language.
If anyone's reading this and looking to hire someone who knows (or rather, knew) Nim well enough to do quite advanced work in it and doesn't need training, please do drop me a line :-)

That’s why I said slopcoded, not vibecoded (which it indeed isn’t).
