• 3 years of fulltime Rust game development, and why we're leaving Rust behind

  I'd be interested to hear the author's take on Nim [1], which seems to be better suited for game development than Rust by staying out of the dev's way [2], and supports hot-reloading (at least in Unreal Engine 5) [3]?

• "14 Years of Go" by Rob Pike

  I think the right answer to your question would be NimLang[0]. In reality, if you're seeking to use this in any enterprise context, you'd most likely want to select the subset of C++ that makes sense for you or just use C#. [0]https://nim-lang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Interest in a Rust-Inspired Language Compiling to JavaScript?

  I don't think it's a rust-inspired language, but since it has strong typing and compiles to javascript, did you give a look at nim [0] ? For what it takes, I find the language very expressive without the verbosity in rust that reminds me java. And it is also very flexible.

• Nim

  FYI, on the front page, https://nim-lang.org, in large type you have this: > Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python

  You better off with using a compiled language. If you interested in a language that's compiled, fast, but as easy and pleasant as Python - I'd recommend you take a look at [Nim](https://nim-lang.org). And to prove what Nim's capable of - here's a cool repo with 100+ cli apps someone wrote in Nim: [c-blake/bu](https://github.com/c-blake/bu). - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• A Rant about Front-end Development

  It was the "view as a (pure) function of your model" approach that was architecturally new in react. This article explains it using a bit react jargon (action, store, dispatcher) which is kind of unnecessary - but that's what I got from a quick google:... - Source: Hacker News / about 20 hours ago

• Getting 50% (SoTA) on Arc-AGI with GPT-4o

  You moved your own goal posts. You said “poor quality”, and referred to any game imaginable, not to only valid moves. We absolutely can ask GPT to play a game it doesn’t know, and fail to get any valid moves. I was trying to give your argument the benefit of the doubt, but I can’t do that when your argument is moving and inconsistent. The papers you refer to do not say I’m wrong. In context learning doesn’t stick,... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago
