I keep on seeing Nim come up every now and then. The language has been around for some time but I feel it has gained a bit more traction in the past few months.

Would it make sense to have a Nim tag?

Here’s a few stories submitted to Lobsters this month that talk about Nim -

    Typically if want these kinds of requests to gain traction you’re going to need to provide a list of Nim articles proving the need for a new tag.

        A quick search shows quite a few links.

          I’m not for or against the tag; frankly I don’t care. I’m just stating how these kinds of requests typically work.

          See here or even here.

            Makes sense. Sorry if that came off bad, I’m new around here and don’t really know how things are done.

            Thanks for the info.
