I was hoping case sensitivity would be implemented but it seems like it was too controversial. I'm thinking at this point there might be too much resistance.

Well, crap. I just bought his book about version 1 lol.
Nim’s arc and sink/lent annotations seem a lot simpler than Rust’s owned pointers and region annotations. Has anybody had the opportunity to compare the costs and benefits?
Heap allocators are very significant cost over stack. Nim's designed for different use cases. Rust statically checks memory usage, and provides Arc for use cases that can only be modeled dynamically.
among nim, zig and rust, I'm most likely to learn nim, it has been there for a while and it is solid and has so many good stuff in it, it just needs more 'marketing'. in particular, python really should help its popularity as their syntax are similar and both are very expressive.
I tend to use Java and C for multithreaded problems but having the availability of Nim which looks similar to Python is really promising.

I am pleased to see a language that focuses on good multithreaded support. I tend to use Java and C for multithreaded problems but having the availability of Nim which looks similar to Python is really promising.
