Nim forum is written in pure Nim[1] and is using httpbeast[2] as a backend.

[1]: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum

[2]: https://github.com/dom96/httpbeast

In terms of features it's powerful enough to build a Discourse-like forum enough. In terms of performance it's very well performing in the TechEmpower benchmarks[3] it is competing in. It even grabbed first place on JSON serialization on Cloud hardware.

OK english is not my native lang so maybe I am not formulating things clearly I did not try to suggest that nim does not have good http lib. I was just saying my 2 core requirements good http lib and high quality mature PostgreSQL driver. Nim has good Http lib Nim does not have async PG driver that I would feel confident using in prod.

The D forum is also written in D (it's called DFeed, IIRC), and it's fast (anecdotally).
