gollark: I am quite enjoying Nim, despite its various weird quirks and it seemingly not being sure about being a systems language or just a generic mildly low level one.
gollark: The nim one has about 30 total at most.
gollark: It has 250 dependencies.
gollark: It's not as if binary size is a massive issue nowadays. Except on embedded.
gollark: Anyway, inoteaur-nim™ is only 2.4MB, versus about 80MB for minoteaur-rs™ (both debug builds).
