This is basically why I ditched Rust as soon as I found out about Nim. No mental gymnastics making me feel like I should be part of a group mind, super fast, super small binaries, optional GC, and memory unsafe stuff allowed with standard pointers and alloc/free available with or without the GC on elsewhere. I suspect Rust would be better for avionics and other high-value systems though, replacing Ada...

I like nim for the same reason (and use for for small programs), though I'm using D at $work because D is more "mainstream" and established at this time.
