8) Use Cases: How to do X in Nim? (by topic)

|
|
- Show Nim packages and std lib, Maybe in reference to other language capabilities, or even compared to their samples.
|
|
|
|
|
- Be honest if there are some holes, chance to show interop with python and nimgen+c2nim.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
9) To learn more about Nim's features and how to use them, please refer to the official tutorial Part1, Part2, and the Manual.
