I would like to tell my way to Nim. I have been writing smaller programs every
now and then for more than 30 years. Usually these are automations or add-ons.
In the past few years I have written a lot with the AutoIt scripting language,
which in development now goes far beyond the stage of pure automation. But with
increasing experience and knowledge, some things are no longer an advantage
(e.g. data type: Variant). I also lacked object-oriented programming. Since I
also have experience with Phyton and Lua, I looked for a language with a
similar syntax. OOP and creating executables were other criteria. During my
internet research I came across Nim and after reading the basics I fell in love
with the language. Of course, this is different from a scripting language and
for me it is about learning and learning again. Now when I see my first steps
and, in contrast, look at the material that is being discussed here in the
forum, I feel like a school boy again. Even though I am almost 60 years old, I
still enjoy programming - and learning.
