One big reason Nim never really caught on is because we’ve got lots of fast-ish languages with garbage collection (like Go, which sucks a lot of oxygen away from Nim IMO). Rust introduced a new concept to the mainstream that lets you program safely without a runtime hit for garbage collection.

I’ve seen this used on other Fediverse posts:
I wonder how hard it will be to just scrape the HTML to accomplish this. It’d be a bit of a cat-and-mouse game, but you’d probably get pretty far just using Google’s user agent string. I kind of think Reddit wouldn’t actually care about scraping vs API access, since all of Reddit’s dumbfuckery seems to be coming from spez panicking due to investor pressure, and I’d bet investors don’t have the faintest idea what “scraping” is.
To my knowledge, Ada doesn’t have an equivalent to Rust’s borrow checker. I also think I covered that base by specifying “mainstream” 😀
