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 doesn't seem as exciting as those because it doesn't have a whiz-bang-pow killer feature (other than very robust metaprogramming), but it's very mature, and breezy to write high-performance software.

It’s not really. Zig emphasis on it to replace generics is somewhat unique, but ultimately it’s not different than what Nim (and D) have also done for many years.

Nim has a full compile time VM. You can even compile it into a program to run Nim scripts.
