I really need to thoroughly read this. I have scanned sections like the one on References and Pointers and found them useful, but only scratched the surface.
Late last year I switched my work site from Go to Nim. Then this year, with the help of the community and library nimterop, I was able to wrap the duckdb C api and use it in my web app for really fast analytic queries. I really like Nim syntax and the routes in jester:
routes:
get "/":
resp "Wow, nice"
The false-positive virus issue affected my workstation as well, but after consulting with our security team we were able to resolve it.
I would love Nim to have more funding and support.
I like the batteries included approach, but certainly there are some libraries that do things like json better.
My experience with VR is that there is a period of acclimatization. At first it is tough to go 30min. I got up to being able to use it for an enjoyable 3 hours or at least the full duration of the battery for watching and gaming. I find when I come back from a long vacation with no screens, looking at a monitor for 7 hours is tough.
