The Nim language's compiler is written in pure Nim, no need for OCaml, which's what the Nim community calls "self-contained compiler".
Similarly, Haxe language's compiler is partialy self-contained, but OCaml logic is used by 35%.
Given the complexity of need to learn OCaml, 35% maybe is a lot, but
given the complexity of installing OCaml on Windows, even 1% would be too much.
However, maybe said self-contained compile support should be implemented without removing said OCaml logic, I mean, to make OCaml an optional alternative, because:
Maybe yet another Operating-System will be invented someday,
And maybe OCaml supports said OS, hence making things easy for Haxe to migrate.
However, it's year 2024 and OCaml does not even support Windows fully yet, hence that's unlikely.
