[Announcement] Ferrum Studio – A Native IDE Built Exclusively for Nim
After months of development, I'm excited to share Ferrum Studio – a lightweight,
native desktop IDE designed from the ground up for Nim developers.
No Electron. No bundled Chromium. Just a fast, responsive IDE that starts in
under a second and uses ~35 MB of RAM.

Why Another IDE?

Most editors treat Nim as an afterthought – a language server plugin bolted onto
a tool built for other ecosystems. Ferrum Studio is different. Every feature,
shortcut, and workflow is designed around the way Nim developers actually work.

Important
I used AI for JS, CSS and HTML development as I am not good at them.
Before this IDE, I made another IDE for a community(I won't tell the community's
name).
The community was not happy with me. I heard Nim community is not very toxic.
Here is an IDE.

I'd love to hear your feedback, bug reports, and feature requests. Try it out
and let me know what you think.
