From its "Why Nim" in the readme:

- Assembly support either inline or a simple {.compile: "myasm.S".} away

- No GC if no GC-ed types are used (automatic memory management is set at the type level and optimized for latency/soft-realtime by default and can be totally deactivated).

- Procedural macros working directly on AST to create generic curve configuration, derive constants write a size-independent inline assembly code generator

To me programming Rust feels so limiting due to lack of good compile time meta programming with types. That’s the key.

After reading comments like this I was expecting (hoping?) that DeepSeek or similar would be cheaper.

However I was surprised that DeepSeek v4 cost about 5.5x GPT-5.4 to solve the problem.

- Deepseek-v4-pro-medium cost $2.47 - GPT-5.4-medium cost $0.45 - GPT-5.5-low was $0.86

Charlie Kirk was called Nazi by many and eventually shot dead in front of his children.

So yes, unfortunately.

I actually (mostly) enjoy reading the code that the LLMs create in Nim. It's quick to read and look for refactor or cleanups. Compile times in seconds so the LLMs is usually the slow piece. It's fun and productive. With Python + LLMs I'm seeing them just create ever more layers of unmanageable cruft.

Recently I wanted "magic" behavior to get OpenAPI types and swagger.json along with auto parsing my rest APIs for me. I had Codex make a library for me using compile time reflection and a sprinkling of macros. Done, simple.

There’s 50 US states. Many are very different.

It’d be even better if it was city based.

My ADHD brain would love to do this stuff:

"Hey AI, how much is my electric bill this month?" and "Okay thats high. Pay it but remind me next week to order a new AC after researching options for me."

Now I’ve not extensively used Rust but almost everytime I did it ended up needing nightly to use some library or other.

Regardless, my point was that people have a political axe to grind and call this “Israel’s war”.

They intentionally ignore the political realities that the Iranians have pissed off almost everyone in the region and the longstanding tension of the IRGC and the US and our new “Cold War” with China.

The Saudi crown prince wants Trump to continue the war still.

It's bit more nuanced. The company management have fiducial responsibilities to the investors but also have responsibility to the company itself and its employees. E.g. Milton Friedman's shared-holder primacy is a crap philosophy and one of the most damaging ones to actual healthy free market economies. For example, in corporate bankruptcy in the US workers get paid before shareholders.

The courts have also tended to favor the company management as long as they're acting reasonably, so I've read. IANAL, but it shouldn't be too hard to say hey this support contract for a core piece of software reduces risk for us by X, Y or helps get Z feature.

Otherwise big corporations and/or governments will own everything and most folks will be serfs. However if you can buy a few robots and go run a homestead then there can be a counterbalance of people not beholden to the system.

A telling sign of techno-feudalism will be AI becoming heavily regulated and even illegal for common people to make or own. You know because “public safety”.

Steam having issues makes sense given its been around ages. Meta Quest is all new OS and code yet they managed to bork ipv6. Super annoying.

Looks like in the EU it varies depending on the law. But unless it’s in their constitution the laws could be changed. For example, see the current UK government trying to get rid of trial by jury for some crimes since it’s inconvenient.

Please ignore that. It’s daft talk. Definitely record your abuses of power.
