Better standard library support for Go-style CSP. Given that CSP is one of Go's biggest selling points, it'd be great if people could easily translate concurrent Go programs to Nim and see the benefits. Right now the lack of a "select" statement makes that quite hard, especially for a beginner.

Not a lot of useful information for such a long article.

Memory fragmentation seems to play a role too. Even if you have (barely) enough free RAM, machines can start swapping and a Redis server in that state is bound to wake you up at night... :(

Really cool (in a Zen kind of way)! :)
I went through the same process. Fravia and the +HCU fostered my curiosity and made me want to know more and more about the inner workings of software. Not only that, Fravia was a man of learning, essays on the +HCU/SearchLores.org were often a philosophical pretext to discuss subjects beyond reverse engineering. I miss the man and I regret not having been able to meet him in person.
