TLDR: Typescript has objects and destructuring. If you squint it kinda looks like Python's kwargs, because both JS objects and Python kwargs are simply key value pairs.

I fell in love with Nim a couple of years ago, but feel like Zig gaining popularity has really pushed Nim out of the limelight in terms of developer adoption.

> My napkin math is that I can now accomplish 10x more in a day than I could even one year ago, which means I don't need to hire nearly as many engineers, and I still come out ahead.

The only answer that matters is the one to the question "how much more are you making per month from your $200/m spend?"

In terms of revenue for my startup, plenty more.

I totally get that but that’s not really what I asked/am driving at. Though I certainly question how many people are willing to spend $2k/mo on this. I think it’s pretty hard for most folks to justify basically a mortgage for an AI tool.

I use claude code exclusively for the initial version of all new features, then I review and iterate. With the Max plan I can have many of these loops going concurrently in git worktrees. I even built a little script to make the workflow better: http://github.com/jarredkenny/cf

Have we seen any examples of any of these companies turning a profit yet even at $200+/mo? My understanding is that most, if not all, are still deeply in the red. Please feel free to correct me (not sarcastic - being genuine).

If that is the case at some point the music is going to stop and they will either perish or they will have to crank up their subscription costs.

I am absolutely benefitting from them subsidizing my usage to give me Claude Code at $200/month. However, even if they 10x the price its still going to be worth it for me personally.

I hope both of you know that you're in the extreme minority, right?

A very productive minority.

I've enjoyed building things in Nim. I picked it up by building small CLIs, and then eventually by starting a 3D game engine project in Nim. It's the language that I wish would take off already.
