It was the same for Linux, Python, Ruby. Being community-driven can be a bug or a feature.

> Go is more versatile

Nim has macros, templates, overloading and compiles to C, JS, Objective-C. Runs on more architectures than Go including arduino microcontrollers.

Go is not more mature than C, C++, Java, Python, Perl...

See Linux, Python, Ruby... many projects had no big company or funding behind them.
