Nim is aimed at pretty much the same level as Go, I would say. Only with more modern abstractions.

And currently (with Nim 1.4 and its memory management), it's moving towards Rust's field. Their performance has always been in the same space, especially regarding cmdline tools, where latency is more important than most other tools.

Nim has very easy ways to get full C performance in pure Nim with a trivial FFI to just call C and is both higher level than Go and lower level at the same time because of that. Simple analogies often fail to describe. :-( { This is not intended as a dig/criticism but note on communication limits - you should just learn more about Nim at https://nim-lang.org/ }
