I like nim but I found the dev experience to be quite awful. Couldn't just install a plugin for VS code and hit run...had to configure stuff and not sure how to get the debugger to work still.
I have strongly suspected for a while now that the language is kind of irrelevant, but the supporting infrastructure like package managers, IDEs, other utils, platform support, libraries, etc are far more important when picking a language to use. Who cares if java programs are 2x as long? Trying to fix your $obscure_language$ tooling will take 10x as long.
