Yeah, super keen for that. When I last had a look it only supported the JS backend, but now we can do much much more

Works on the C backend too, apparently! https://nim-lang.org/docs/hcr.html

oh, using a repl with hcr, you can create something similar to the Pharo / Glamorous Toolkit (Smalltalk) experience.

@gavr123456789 oh amazing! There are Nim bindings for Jupyter notebooks, try https://github.com/stisa/jupyternim which HAS hot code reloading! Very impressive, we could learn a lot from this project.

yes, it is difficult to imagine something similar to Pharo can be implemented in a statically typed compiled language.
By the way, Nim and Smalltalk have a lot in common, oddly enough.
Here is an interesting series of articles:
