Two tracks this year (a first).
As usual, videos are prerecorded and released as YouTube Premiere.
Track 1: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHI4D93Ts8_k&si=06qsQgYUd...

personal highlight I looked forward to:
- Araq's update on Nimony and Nim 3 (and NIF, which is so cool)
- Constantin's love letter to Nim (long overdue and I expect to connect strongly with this one)
- Treeform talking about Nim and AI (always very clean and inspiring presentations)
- Capocasa's testimony about building a (economic) coding agent in Nim
- Gianmarco talking about Nim for embedded
- Peter telling the story on how he introduces Nim to his company's new hires
I am pretty sure the general quality will be good and there will be hidden pearls (last year pearl for me was the one about putting Nim on e-ink screens all over the house)
(you won't find name of authors in the conf page but you will find them in the youtube playlists)

For those new to the topic and less patient than "full conference" levels of attention, it doesn't cover things like UFCS/command-call, user-defined operators, or many other details, but for its incredibly short run-time, this video might give you a tiny taste of the flavor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHyOHQ_GkNo

FYI, there appear to be several typos where occurrences of "h" seem to have been replaced with "d", such as in "tde".

It's nice seeing Nim has some activity.

It's a bit sad, but do most even care about elegant and efficient code these days in the age of coding agents?
