One of the issue that Jonathan blow and Casey moratori, have talked about a lot and I really agree with is that modern languages tend to do the same mistake. Instead of nailing the fundamentals of the languages, meaning (performance, readability, expressiveness, tooling, compiler control / good error messages, flexibility) languages people try to be the Jack of all trade, but end up being the master of none, I know this go against what a lot of people seem to think, but to me languages like C and Go, Zig and potentially JAI or Odin, should be the end goal, languages that are simples, that follows sort of sensible syntax conventions, have good toolings, languages that are readable and expressive, languages that don't rely on unmaintainable obfuscated syntax and abstraction to make it look like your doing some real work when all you do really is niching and fighting the languages quirk. Like in languages like C if you want a behaviour or something you just need to write more C, same with Go but modern languages are doing the weirdest things, to try to cater to all audiences, instead of focusing on the fundamentals. I don't belive nim will go anywhere.
