They do copy, as far as I know, but I'd not be so sure about make-it-true
power. For some time I was sure slicing m

I'm currently using Nim at work as a replacement for some old scripts, mostly
for provisioning servers (as part of our Ansible deployment setup). The tools
in question preform tasks such as creating MySQL databases and the required
tables/relationships and importing initial data and downloading
Unluckily, I can't replace Python with Nim as I need some science libraries not
yet available in Nim (maybe I'll port them another day...). While my friend
uses Nim for similar things, I chose Rust for my thesis and I had some good
reasons:
* when I started it, Nim lacked advanced generics it
**Everything.**
At home I'm replacing a lot of stuff with Nim due to performance - and fun.
Server jobs, scripts, python hacks, file and log handling, all monitoring and
controlling of my RPi's, etc.
At work we use a project management tool written in Nim (except JS for now) in
our own environ

Additional to what @LeuGim said,
Use [httpclient](https://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html) module to get the
page.
Use `parseHtml` from [htmlparser](https://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html) to
get the `XmlNode` representation of page.
Privately, just play stuff that might eventually form a useful library to build
off, but isn't of any real use to me immediately - like

Just usual stuff from the standard library...

Nim has replaced every language (except javascript maybe) that im currently
writeing. I dont want to code in other lang
I have big plans to rewrite all my C/C++ projects in Nim, some legacy code
problems still stops me, but future is near
At this moment several console routines work in production as a bridge between
new web-based and legacy (non web) components, all work just fine.
Web-crawling/parsing, automation scripts.
I'm using Nim to handle ZIP Code validation and address correction. It's a
fuzzy process of checking the postal address to ensure that the given ZIP Code
is correct. Nim should match the ZIP Code against the postal data file and
refers to the correct location and so on.
Given I'm not using any
If it's for some "jobs" can be considered in production, I guess I used Nim for
web scraping and saved the info I got to postgres. There is other too, like
testing web api using `unittest` module, since I wasn't restricted to use any
specific request to test it, so I used Nim.
Been telling it t
What are you writing using nim? does it in production?
