gollark: Oh no. Not again.
gollark: How fun.
gollark: It also produces nice not-actually-static-exactly binaries, which is useful for purposes.
gollark: Anyway, Nim:- is reasonably fast (even if certain libraries are beelike)- has nice syntax- has decent library existence- is able to bind to C stuff, which I have actually used in this because cmark-gfm is very fast- is fairly pleasant to write- has cool metaprogramming- has a compiler which mostly runs bearably fastthus I am using it.
gollark: `openring`, that is, which generates the "from other blogs" bit on my website.
