@dukope this is lovely - thank you! Very much enjoying the 1-bit nostalgia.

Did I hear correctly that you used Nim? I’ve been looking at Nim myself - how was the experience?

@bbbscarter Thanks! Yeah I wanted to try either Zig or Nim and chose Nim first. There are some rough edges but it has a lot going for it. Feels like an evolution of C in some ways, expanded to make high level programming easier, without sacrificing control over the low level stuff. Big fan of UFCS, type system, and compile-time features. Definitely recommend trying it out for a small project at least.

@dukope ah yes, Zig is also on my list, along with Odin. Nim seems to offer a really intriguing mix of highish level features and high portability, but indeed - the rough edges were what I was most curious about, and I’m happy to see they weren’t an impediment for you.

Thanks!
