I have been using Nim for everything lately. If I have a problem I would typically write a shell script for, I'll use Nim with nimcr. If the problem expands beyond a single file, I'm in a good spot to create a project and have production-ready solutions.

The interoperability with other languages makes it a safe choice if I find I need to integrate into an existing project. I'm never coding myself into a corner.

I've never used a language as versatile as Nim. It's my secret weapon at work. I want more people to use it, but I do like my advantage...

You don't have to share your sources with the rest of the company?

Is that even allowed by your contract?

Everything is checked into the company BitBucket. People just don't spend much time looking at personal repositories. Every craftsman has their jigs.
