Ruma, a Matrix homeserver written in Rust

Right now I'm working on something where the choice was between Nim or Rust. I required integration with lots of C/C++ code and there are callbacks from C that execute my code, Nim was the clear choice.

The main app is C that links all my libs together, but the actual C code just calls a Nim to execute the code. I talk to all the C libs using Nim.

I'm very happy with that decision. It was a breeze to setup and is great to work with.

i don't follow - Rust integrates with C quite well, too.

If it did as well as Nim the person I'm replying to would not have the issues he is describing.

Could you elaborate with more specifics here? How is nim's interfacing with C code nicer than Rust's?

Thanks for the hint, I must look at Nim sometime :)
