Ray Tracing in Nim

Nim still Mostly retains its pythonic nature (fun and readable) even when you do whatever’s needed for C/C++ level performance.

I think it’s exceptional in that it feels lightweight while delivering great performance, and it has no “glass ceiling” of any sort.

Rust and D have no ceiling either; but D feels like a better C++ and Rust feels like a court filing.

D is definitely under-appreciated if you prefer C feel to Python feel

I've been paid to work on D so no need to preach to the converted. I'll have a look at Nim too.

But HackerNews and Reddit told me that rust is very ergonomic after two weeks and if you do something in other languages that you can't do in rust, you are doing it wrong and it needs to be fixed.
