rad was rewritten in Nim, reasons include:

  • more readable
  • less LOC; even when more features have been added
  • more productive; faster to implement new features compared to Rust
  • lower system resource usage; one third of what Rust uses
  • smaller executable size; one tenth (300 KB) compared to Rust (3 MB)
  • can be built using existing toolchain because Nim transpiles to C; Rust is harder to bootstrap
  • parsing packages is slightly faster
