Claude told me that he finds it easier to use nim than C, C++ or Rust for this TUI even though he has way less training data in it. The simple python syntax is much more simple to reason about and gets you the same performance in half the code. I've also been playing around with using it with Raylib C lib and it's super powerful for games and GUIs. https://github.com/rolandnsharp/terminal-oscilloscope [2026-04-05 03:32] rolandnsharp7643: (files: demo.gif) [2026-04-05 05:47] traves_theberge: https://tenor.com/view/witchcraft-hunchback-of-notre-dame-frollo-animated-gif-19403567 [2026-04-05 08:26] girvo: Its honestly quite great for it 😄 because Nim is so expressive, the mix-and-match that vibe coding creates still works! and its fast compilation makes it a really nice cycle IMO [2026-04-05 08:27] girvo: Nim is my favourite language, no joke haha. I even have a commit (or two) in it's source code! [2026-04-05 08:28] girvo: https://nim-lang.org/araq/nimony.html This is 'version 3' of Nim, a new language that gets rid of a lot of the historical cruft/baggage that Nim has _and_ is being written with AI in mind as a first-class citizen �� [2026-04-05 08:28] girvo: https://nim-lang.github.io/nimony-website/version0_2.html [2026-04-05 12:11] girvo: and yeah not to yap too much, but nim is a cheat code for performant software but with python-like syntax 🙂 its great [2026-04-05 12:16] rolandnsharp7643: I was just researching nim metaprogramming and it's so powerful you can basically impliment Ocaml in Nim [2026-04-05 12:16] rolandnsharp7643: OCaml: ```ocaml let signal = sine 440.0 |> mix (saw 220.0 ~amp:0.3) |> lpf ~cutoff:(880.0 +. lfo 2.0 0.2) |> delay ~time:0.25 ~feedback:0.4 ``` Nim with macros: ```nim let signal = sine 440.0 |> mix (saw 220.0 ~amp=0.3) |> lpf ~cutoff=(880.0 + lfo 2.0 0.2) |> delay ~time=0.25 ~feedback=0.4 ``` [2026-04-05 12:17] rolandnsharp7643: Then Claude told me that I should create a ML functional programming library for Nim ...
