NATO advised to have important stuff evacuated and preparations were actually taken to move the mriya.

According to the SBU, the Mriya aircraft was in good technical condition on the eve of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the Hostomel Airport had sufficient fuel for the flight, and the crew was ready for departure.

It’s lacking the huge community python has though.

And where did Rust, Python etc get their huge community from in the first place? From being jack of all trades? No, because they were the best fit for their use case. After they established themselves there, they became widely good.

Nim is not transpiled. Transpilation means translation between equal levels of abstraction. The C code generated by Nim is not something most people would do anything with.

I like Nim and many concepts of it with the big point of discussion being that function names get normalized (helloWorld === hello_world).

But I feel like that Nim is a language without purpose. It’s all nice and cool on paper, but it has no use case where I think “I have to do it in Nim”.

Go is known for making small, fast startup web apps, Python for making small one time tasks or Data work, Rust low level programming if you like functional programming, PHP if you want yo setup a website as fast as possible.

But Nim doesn’t have this, it doesn’t have a library that’s better than in all other languages. It’s nice but what for?

The people hosting lemmy ml are also hosting the instance lemmygrad.ml You can look around there. Those are tankies.

I only know of a handful of cases where branchless programming is actually being used. And those are really niche ones.

I have some great fun playing Pokémon RomHacks like Unbound or GS Chronicles.

Otherwise I started playing the original Mega Man Battle Network titles for the GBA.
