nim is memory safe, python syntax, emits c/c++/js. It really deserves more love and publicity.

more mature than zig, much easier than rust.

It's too bad that the BDFL of Nim (Araq / Andreas) treats the language like his personal compiler development playground. This has led to a hard fork of the compiler, many experienced and frustrated developers leaving the community and language behind, and an extremely fragmented ecosystem.

He is also very difficult to work with and isn't very welcoming to newcomers. The community "leaders" / moderation team is also full of abrasive individuals with fragile egos.

Zig seems to be even more in flux than Nim yet people can't get enough of it.
