I've asked (sometimes stupid) questions in the Nim Matrix channel about some particular thing I was stuck on, and every time someone has answered it graciously and almost immediately. The community has been great, and I'm starting to really like the language.

For me it's like Python in the sense that I can bang out a quick, single-file program on a whim, but if it starts growing beyond that Nim is really fast, expressive, and portable. I can cross-compile a binary for any common platform (Nintendo Switch even), and then just send it over and run it.
