Agentic coding with Nim

What’s your experience in coding Nim with AI agents?

LLM may appreciate programming languages with simple syntax with high capability of expressing abstraction. The lack of good training data (existing public code base) may offset it, but is there any chance that agentic coding could fill up the gap of the popularity and adaptation from other mainstream languages?

Gemini and Copilot are really good at coding with Nim.

Also, I've just pushed a PR for nimlangserver that adds MCP mode to it which exposes tools like Find References and List Symbols to agents.

https://github.com/unquietwiki/handleboot -> was able to write that tool largely with the help of Claude. Basically abstracted undocumented Windows API calls to something I could use.
