"Nim Nuggets: Systems Programming & Metaprogramming Magic" by Aditya Siram

Описание: On the surface Nim (https://nim-lang.org/) is familiar, a fast statically typed highly productive language that looks like Python, but just below the surface are cutting edge features that put it at the forefront of systems programming, interop, metaprogramming, and static introspection.

This fast paced talk will target experienced programmers new to Nim. We will look at diverse and real world bite size examples that would be difficult if not impossible in most programming languages:

Type safe web routes ( with static overlap detection! )
Compile time memory and resource management similar to languages like Rust
Smooth interop with real world template heavy C++
Flexible and type safe APIs with static introspection
Metaprogramming with types for highly customizable compile time errors and warnings
and possibly more if time allows!

I am a Haskell developer at LeapYear (https://leapyear.io/) and work on Nim by candlelight. I am interested in the intersection of programming language user experience, explorability, abstractions and performance.
