I don't use Nim, but it's an interesting language. I've read someone else complaining about having to make changes to an old project every time he went to recompile it. I'm wondering how true this is, so in other words, I'm wondering about the frequency and severity of breaking changes in the language.


I haven't faced such issue. I think the only issue I faced was when I upgraded to 2.0, they made `--threads:on` the default, so I had to turn it off, but that's about it.


Doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen from time to time. Of course only if you actually update your Nim version, so it's not like interpreted languages like Python where stuff stops working if a new version comes out and your package manager upgrades it.


wasn't this about C/C++?
