I want to love Nim but during my trial run with it. It was a pain in the ass to get set up on my Mac in a way that I could use it easily ie as a repl for quick and dirty prototyping and learning

Doesn't MacOS have homebrew that takes care of these things?

No issue setting up Nim itself (and I realize my complaint is not fault to Nim itself) but it would be great if this complimentary jupyter kernel for Nim would work on MacOS... Hasn't been maintained in a while: https://github.com/stisa/jupyternim/issues/38

Would be very useful for my workflow as someone who wants to explore Nim for data science-y type tasks.

Anyone know of an alternative Nim jupyter kernel?

I don't think the jupyter kernel is made by the core developers of nim, it's kind of weird to call the language pain in the ass because of one weird niche usecase being hard to set up :)

Agreed. Not fair to Nim for sure.
