I really like Nim. I was able to build some non-trivial things in it after just a few hours of googling and reading documentation (supplemented with a few questions on IRC). I do sometimes worry though about investing in a language that, due to its lack of popularity of "catching on", may never have the richness of tooling and packages/libraries needed to use it in the context of a larger project or larger team. But…

I've had the same concerns. I made a Nim web framework, but I don't think anyone else has written a web app with it except for myself. My thinking now is to combine Nim with other languages and their frameworks. For example a NextJS/React front-end with some GraphQL servers in Nim. Alternatively Nim and Python mix quite well.
