> It's safer than C Yes, I can understand people rewrite a feature in Nim, instead of use a wrapper around C. But why people don't just write a wrapper around Rust to save time?

I'm not expert in Nim or Rust. Maybe when I say Rust is safer and faster is wrong. Write a Nim wrapper around Rust won't give a better quality library. But many Nim lib is in early stage, and miss feature, less actively maintened compare to a Rust or C lib. If I program in Nim, I would prefer us

> question: why would you wrap a rust library if you lose rust's safety? :-/ If a feature exist already in Rust or Nim, why rewrite a same feature in pure Nim. We can just wrap it to save time. But I still see some people reimplement it in Nim. I don't understand why.

You have shown how easily we can access Rust ecosystem from Nim, so why some developer still develop a early stage pure Nim library with few missing feature, in this case? They can just wrap Rust lib.

I'm not a Nim user. But I have a question. Many people claim don't use Nim, because Nim miss many libraries. Nim community is small, that could be difficult to develop a big Nim ecosystem libraries with pure Nim. Rust is [safer](https://uploads.peterme.net/nimsafe.html) and faster than Nim, an
