Final Final thoughts

Description:

Explore the potential of Nim as a powerful alternative to C++ in this comprehensive conference talk from code::dive 2019. Delve into Nim's advanced metaprogramming capabilities, whole-program compilation model, and seamless interoperability with C/C++. Learn about Nim's features, syntax, and performance advantages through practical examples and comparisons with C++. Gain insights into the evolving landscape of compiled and high-performance programming languages, and discover how Nim aims to improve developer productivity while maintaining top-tier performance. Examine the speaker's perspective on treating C++ as assembly and leveraging Nim as a more efficient tool for modern software development.
