I’m always hesitant to start projects in less popular languages without knowing if they will stick around, etc. I don’t know much about Nim, but I have tons of respect for people who create excellent content like this that helps a language become more popular and mainstream by making it more accessible.

Nim is 14 years old

But still pretty much one-man work.

I admit, it’s a true work of love.

However, its bus factor is 1. I would love to see some effort to make sure it has a future beyond that.

Humans are volatile.

(What’s up with projects maintained by the late Jörg Schilling?)

A lot of previous contributors to Nim are currently working on an experimental fork due to disagreements with the development of the official compiler: https://github.com/nim-works/nimskull
