Nim programming language has some famous web frameworks. There are Jester, Karax, Prologue. These frameworks support only backend/frontend development. I’ll tell about HappyX web framework.
HappyX is macro-oriented full-stack web framework. It’s mean that:
- Most code executes at compile-time due to metaprogramming (macro-oriented), so HappyX applications is very fast.
- Developer may write both backend and frontend parts effectively with the same code.
- Most code that developer uses is the macros which represents like DSL (Domain-specific language), so developers spend less time to development.
- Business will be expand and develop faster due to developers development speed.
