Basically he likes the way Nim compiles to C fairly cleanly. Helps him because he knows and understands C, and reading between the lines he wants to target systems that already have C compilers, but not Rust ones.

He seems to like Rust it just likes Nim better, feels currently its better suited. Actually fairly calm about it. Different people prefer different languages for a variety of reasons.

Not sure compiling to C as an extra step is going to do to reliablity or performance in Nim but we'll see. Interesting times.
