> Geany is a (more or less dead) zombie, PRs are not getting merged. Ts, their last release was in january. It seems though that the Nim support project did indeed end up somewhere between the taiga and a black hole.
For your other point: OK, OK, I see it and you are right. When I said "all" I didn't think of Haiku or VxWorks. So I'll limit my criterion to "Win, Mac, Linux, BSD", i.e. all Nim supported systems with more than 1% (0.5%? 0.1%?) of "market" share. As for your "we had a survey" argument, pardon me, and I know I won't get love for this, but: Nim isn't the result of a survey - and that's GREAT. Nim is the result of one knowledgeable professional who stubbornly followed _his_ understanding of how a great language should be. The fact, that you also listen to Nim's users is an added plus. YOU are the reason that Nim isn't just yet another Java, js, ML, a-better-C. Nim is the result of "A. Rumpf thinks a good language must be like ...". I don't say that to sugar you. I say it because (I expect lightning to strike me for heresy) democracy is a quite worthless mechanism in the world of technology and engineering. _That 's_ why I don't care the least about "the top 10 languages/editors/IDEs/OSs, ...". And please kindly try to follow my argument, that's particularly true for Nim which tries to do things _the right way_ , an element of which is _not_ "Windows and be done" or "Linux and be done". I still think Geany is a good example for what I mean. Actually I myself only rarely use it and I do _not_ consider it to be a great editor or IDE - but that's not what this is about. This is about another set of criteria. One might describe it as "what's a reasonable minimum to work efficiently, preferably with a GUI?" \- plus - enough flexibility to allow for supporting Nim. VSC may be a great editor for many. But VSC is also the antithesis of what we really need as a _basis_.
