> but not so small that there are no useful libraries written...

Says the person responsible for a ton of really useful, well-done Nim libraries, such as this amazing Cairo/Skia-like library: https://github.com/treeform/pixie#readme

Thank you for all the things you've made for Nim!



OT: but watching this made me wonder: is Skia[0] supposed to form a pun[1] (Cairo/Skia), when mentioned with Cairo[2]?

Why does this sound like some sort of code[3][4] that leads to some sort of Ouroboros[5] ultra pun[6]?

Quick! To Rome!!
