While Nim is my favorite language, I can understand that it has a small userbase, for these reasons:

1. No major backer like Google for Go or Mozilla for Rust

2. No killer feature like "memory safety and performance without GC" for Rust, instead a mix of all the reasonable down-to-earth features I want in a programming language

3. Some unique decisions instead of what you're used to from other languages, for example partial case sensitivity
