Another problem I've found for me with Nim and Crystal is the lack of editor support compared to other statically typed languages like Java and C++.
Arguably a really nice benefit of these languages is the inline error highlighting, which speeds up development. I've found for Nim and Crystal I have to run the compiler in the terminal, look where the errors were, and then find those lines in my editor.
LSP support is minimal ( especially when a language is starting out ). My ideal editor for Nim would be Pycharm-like ( open source edition ) with an LSP backend.
