Honestly, I’m not sure about Nim. I’d probably reach for Go before Nim because I hate layers in-between things and too many language paradigms.

Main thing is that all these hip new languages will be dead in a couple years because they don’t do anything all that innovative. Making “another C” or “another C target” versus Go which focuses on channels, slices, and go routines. These other languages that “make a better X” simply will be sidelined in production deployments because no matter the language there will always be warts.

Really folks keep reinventing the wart in the name of something “better”.
