04:07:16FromDiscord<thebiglebobsky_> just a question i havent used this since maybe late 2024 or early 2025 but why has there been no updates to this amazing programming language
04:09:44FromDiscord<thebiglebobsky_> and another thing is instead of trying to go mainstream and catch a massive audience why doesn't the language try to force their way into main audience which is cybersecurity
04:10:48FromDiscord<thebiglebobsky_> oh im sorry i just answered my first question i looked at the blog on the website and saw it still getting updates just those updates arent posted here

04:30:46FromDiscord<_timurski> In reply to @thebiglebobsky_ "just a question": there has been a lot of compiler updates since then wdym? and a whole V3 of the compiler
04:30:50FromDiscord<_timurski> (edit) "has" => "have"
04:31:08FromDiscord<thebiglebobsky_> In reply to @_timurski "there have been a": ye i saw that in the nim website blogs
04:31:10FromDiscord<_timurski> In reply to @thebiglebobsky_ "oh im sorry i": ah mb didn't read this fast enough
05:24:55FromDiscord<Laylie> i don't want cybersecurity to be nim's main audience
06:14:23FromDiscord<mratsim> In reply to @thebiglebobsky_ "and another thing is": @tomas198011 How do you "force your way" into cybersecurity?

07:55:37FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @mratsim "How do you "force": Probably abduct the researcher's daughters and write a pointed letter.

08:32:09FromDiscord<kapendev> I don't even know what cybercurities do. Just make games guys.
08:53:46FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @kapendev "I don't even know": They like to use less common languages like Nim to write exploits.↵Thank that for most AV snake oil warnings regarding programs written in Nm.
08:55:04FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> the more damning factor is how ""obscure"" nim seems to be
08:55:21FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> go has google, rust has the hearts and minds
08:55:37FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> they could have lobbied AV vendors easily
08:55:52FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> got the feeling this, we're on our own
08:56:03FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @zumi.dxy "go has google, rust": Rust has massive institutional backing or it wouldn't have captured those "hearts and minds" the way it did.
08:56:12FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> true
08:56:24FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> but I wasn't sure if the institutional backing came later
08:56:39FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> it used to be a mozilla project
08:56:42FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @zumi.dxy "but I wasn't sure": Baked in from the very start IIRC.
08:57:11FromDiscord<0ffh> In reply to @zumi.dxy "it used to be": Which is considerable institutional backing all on it's own.-
08:57:20FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> yeah...
09:02:31FromDiscord<virtualpierogi> rust compiling small hello world for raylib prodeced like 14gb of build artifacts for me
09:03:17FromDiscord<zumi.dxy> `node_modules` is nothing compared to `target`

09:10:51FromDiscord<kapendev> The situation on windows about virus warnings is bad in general for every language imo.
09:17:17FromDiscord<kapendev> That's one reason why I don't make windows games and focus only on wasm for gamejams.
