There can be a lot of different integers, int16, int32 ... and unsigned variants. Even huge BigNum integers of any lengths.

Nim imports are great. I would hate to qualify everything. It feels so bureaucratic when going back to other languages. They never cause me issues and largely transparent. Best feature.

I find that python has this simplicity other languages lack. Nim has it too. It's hard to strictly define it? Its a bit syntax, a bit lists or dicts, batteries included? A bit how you run it. Maybe a culture of straightforward code - at least in the python 2.x days. Maybe its just you write an algorithm and its easy to follow?

Thank you for working on the Nim Compiler. This is great. Another great release. The Nim Compiler continues to move forward.

Thank you very much to everyone who has contributed to the development of this superior language. Nim Compiler continues to be one of the most wonderful languages I have worked with. With the speed of C and the simplicity of Python, it has allowed me to write a lot of cool software.

I do not know where I would be if Nim did not exist in my life.

I feel like Nim made me fall in love with programming again.

Nim fixes many of the issues I had with Python. First, I can now make games with Nim because it’s super fast and easily interfaces with all of the high performance OS and graphics APIs. Second, typos no longer crash in production because the compiler checks everything. If it complies it runs. Finally, refactors are easy, because the compiler practically guides you through them. The cross compiling story is great you can compile to JS on the front end. You can use pytorch and numpy from Nim. You can write CUDA kernels in Nim. It can do everything.

We were in the same situation. But we were completely open with our YC founders and they helped us a lot in getting into YC and with tons of advice. It seems like you are building the relation ship wrong based on some sort of deception. I would think about it.
