Comment When I tried to find resources about Nim, I discovered [this book ] but it's written by Dominik Picheta, he is one of the main developers of the Nim programming language, he is also the author of the Nimble package manager as well as many other Nim tools. So this book is a (Primary Source) and can't be used to establish notability. Charmk (talk) 11:02, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's a whole chapter on Nim programming in Modrzyk's Building Telegram Bots (pages 17-36). Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:19, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- This chapter is just a tutorial, no much analysis from the author, the book is about (12 programming languages), this is not a significant coverage. Charmk (talk) 12:50, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I reviewed also [this reference] It doesn't say much about the language (not a significant coverage) - Also contains critics like "Nim's biggest disadvantage right now is the relatively small community of users involved in its development -- an understandable drawback given its status as an independent work. Development is led by the language's creator, Andreas Rumpf, but it's not a full-time effort. Compiler bugs still pop up regularly. Even moderately old code examples may no longer be useful due to changes, and it can be hard to find out what those changes are without closely following the project's development" Charmk (talk) 13:32, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Other references like [1][2][3] are written by the language author (Andreas Rumpf) - They are primary resources (can't be used for notability) and this reference is just a trivial mention. Charmk (talk) 13:34, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
