@-sindresorhus on 2021-04-26 12:03 says: Thanks for making an Awesome list! 🙌 It looks like you didn't read the guidelines closely enough. I noticed multiple things that are not followed. Try going through the list point for point to ensure you follow it. I spent a lot of time creating the guidelines so I wouldn't have to comment on common mistakes, and rather spend my time improving Awesome. |

@-fiddleHeads on 2021-05-02 22:09 says: Hi. This all looks pretty good to me. The only thing I can think of, which I can't tell whether you've done yet, is to run awesome-lint. |

@-ringabout on 2021-05-03 10:39 says: Which do you mean? I have an awesome-lint CI for it in my repo. |

@-fiddleHeads on 2021-05-05 19:56 says: I was just trying to see what you didn't complete yet under the awesome list instructions to warrant the comment above about not following the guidelines and didn't see that you'd run awesome-lint and reported any issues anywhere, as it's one of the prerequisites. Apologies if I missed that you'd already done it. |

Nim is implied here. It's a list for Nim stuff. Same in many other places.
Formatting typo. The header is ugly and illegible. If you want to keep it, you should:

Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language.
Good for everything from shell scripting to web front & backend, to ML, HPC, and embedded.
Productivity: human readable and expressive like Python, with few sigils
Type system: strong static typing, nice generics, concepts, and type classes
Performance: matches C and C++, always gives control to the programmer
Portability: compiles to C, C++, and Javascript
Native use of all libraries in target languages (no ABI issues) + really nice FFI
Single (tiny) executable with no deps
Write server/client in the same language and share code between front/back end
Linux, Windows, and Mac
Iterating: Very fast compile speed
Top tier metaprogramming:
Hygienic AST Macros a core part of the language, very flexible syntax
Runs a VM of Nim at compile time giving you most of the language (bar pointers) to generate code or run procedures and store them as const
Eg; async implemented just with macros, doesn't need special language support
Eg; can automate building types and code from file data at compile time
