Whenever I've been working in Nim, going back to other languages is always - codewise - a letdown. Alas, I often must go back, almost always for the same reason: The lack of libraries (and || or) attendant documentation. One doesn't always have the time, inclination, or ability to work everything up from scratch.

Otherwise, it's such an overwhelmingly pleasing toolset to work with. Clean code, ultrafast compilation producing rocksolid executables as small and tight as you care to make them. Joy all around.




> The lack of libraries

Yup. It's too bad there has been no en-mass conversion/import of popular libraries.

The thing that makes python such a terrific swiss-army-knife is that there are libraries available for just about every imaginable use case.
