Well moreso than your post, **you** were censored. ;-)
I don't remember you contributing anything to the Nim ecosystem, and your posts
are usually controversial and trolling. I've censored you before and I've been
PM'ed multiple times on IRC about you. Nim users notify me about spam on the

Kinda arbitrary. This topic bounced between several different languages and how
they compare to Nim. Vlang was mentioned on this thread before without getting
censored, but my mention of it just appearing on TechEmpower was censored.

@Libman I like the oop style in FreeBasic. It allows us to write only method
and property signatures inside the type block. We can then implement the
methods and properties outside of the type block like
TypeName.PropertyName(Argument As DataType). Thats a nice thing.

I wanted to learn Seed7, but guess what... There is no "domain website" like
nim-lang. Almost no intuitive documentation, no youtube videos, tutorials,
books, "marketing", non-existent community, probably no businesses that use it.

V looks promising but probably it will be usable after some years of
development. It has really huge memory consumption during base64 and json
encoding (memory leak?)
[Kostya's benchmarks](https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks) is finally back to

results are hilarious!

Being a much simpler language FreeBasic may be fast (having no GC for example),

anyone would choice FreeBasic over Nim, D, Rust or any other modern alternative.

I'm curious to see some evidence that FreeBASIC is "fast".
(Although transpiled languages do have the
In that aspect nim is unique. Crystal comes the closest, but it only works for
linux.
Because I'm looking for a cross-platform[Windows +Linux, etc], fast, relatively

Is this a thread for mentioning obscure languages we're playing around with?
If so, I'd like to mention [Vlang.io](https://vlang.io). It's not even released
yet (except online playground), but I do like the promised features and syntax,
as a refuge from the growing complexity of Nim. I'd call
@ God: Could you comment here about your experiences with FreeBasic vs NIM? I'm
a beginner programmer, but with some big plans, and I have narrowed down my
list of languages to really learn/concentrate on to these two. or perhaps both.
I'd really appreciate any honest opinions comparing their
