Hi Nim'ers I was introduced to Pascal in 1986 in high school, and it was my first language, not counting the very few lines of Commodore Basic I had under my programming belt before that.
Then, a long pause, and I got into programming again in 1997. This time Visual Basic, very quickly followed by Delphi! I absolutely loved Object Pascal and Delphi, but then I got into graphics programming (mode 13h, DirectX, ...) and I learned C++. Now, after years of C++, I have grown tired of it, and have gravitated to C. I have dabbled in Lisp/Racket, and am a proficient PHP programmer. I have tried Python, and it is neat, but I like my languages statically typed. So, after looking into new and up and coming "better C's" like Odin and Jai, I then found Nim. And it is perfect. So now, I divide my time between Free Pascal (Lazarus), proper C, PHP and Nim. (With the occasional fling of C++ and perhaps a bit of retro C64 programming (assembly/Basic)). Other relevant tidbits: I was a moderator at the Ogre3D community for more than 5 years, and am currently a moderator at the Yii Framework community forum. Neither Go, Rust, Ruby, Java or C# has ever clicked for me. So here I am
