What's the current async/await story on Nim? I'm considering it for a new project.

The story is that it's used in production and works quite well (but I am pretty biased as I developed most of it). If you want some examples take a look at my book[1] which includes a whole chapter where you build a chat app using Nim's async/await. The code for this is freely available[2].

Does the linked line imply that a slow client will block the rest of the clients from receiving new messages?

Yes. Ideally this should have a time out on it, but this is an edge case :)

Great! Congratulations!

I’ve been bitten by Python in this area a few times and I was looking for a statically typed alternative for a while. Nim seems to fit the bill.

The obvious choice would be Go, but the learning curve for my mostly Python-based shop seems higher and Nim looks cooler :)
