  1. What about Nim language? I think it should be also considered besides Rust, Go and Zig for creating useful tools efficiently. It's like marrying simplicity of Python, strength of Ada, typing of OCaml, with sprinkle of crazy metaprogramming capabilities and interchange-able GCs. You can even drop one if you want.

  2.  @TJackson736  Not necessairly, since Nim is so flexible that you can compile it to C, C++, ObjC or JavaScript. Additionally, you can interchange GC. You can even use Go's one... Nim is a different category than Rust, Zig or Go, because you can tune code to be between all of them at the same time. Plus metaprogramming capabilities in Nim are really powerful.

  3.  @thepatzer  That's chicken and egg problem. Without people test-driving language there won't be any usage and/or adoption. Simple as that. Try it :)

  4. It doesn't have them anymore for some time. Everybody mourns leaving dom96 from Nim, y'know?
