Support for embedded is indeed getting into focus. I hope to release an article soon how the '--gc:regions' switch works (which is misnamed, it's a way to do memory management, not a GC...) and in the longer run the destructor-based runtime will ensure that memory is freed sooner than a GC would for memory constrained devices.
Having said that, "embedded" is a wide field and sometimes one cannot even afford a heap, no matter if garbage collected or managed manually. But even then Nim can be used, you still get array bounds checking, Ada-inspired strong type checking plus the meta programming goodies.
