Seems like nim and crystal would fill that void better, maybe even rust.

> Seems like nim and crystal would fill that void better

Having seen a talk on Nim at the Bris.tech conference [1], I can't think of any void it would fill better than an alternative. My takeaway was it was a very flexible but poorly designed language with too many ways to do anything.

That's sad to hear. But I want to learn more. Can you give some specific examples of what gave you that impression?
Yes, especially considering that Nim can compile to JS too. It truly is general purpose in that regard.
