People
gollark: The Nim discord server has been quite helpful. Apparently I can utilize certain nim features for vaguely rustaceous behaviour to wrap stuff neatly.
gollark: I agree, shared libraries are to become metaapioform.
gollark: Apparently lots of malware now uses languages like Nim, Go and D to avoid detection by antivirii. The non-malware world should really try and keep up.
gollark: How advanced. Probably a version mismatch of some kind.
