Advent of Nim - Hackdot

Thanks for sharing your experience. I read another comment about Nim being nice on microcontrollers because it compiles/transpiles to C, and my first thought was ESP32. I've written Rust for STM32 and MSP430 and it's awesome. ESP32, OTOH, seems like a nice platform but doesn't have LLVM support so C and MicroPython are pretty much the only options.

Rumor is that Espressif is actually working on LLVM support.

At least they were recruiting with that angle some months ago. I'm assuming it'll take a while even if all goes well, though.
