There's my problem with nim. I was really excited about it two years ago and tried to get into it. Unfortunately I found the community not very welcoming. All the issues I had, had been raised before and dismissed.

I've since switched to Rust. The syntax isn't quite as nice but it's outweighed by the fact that the community is great and the memory safety is a game changer!

My problem with rust, is that community is overzealous to promote their language, even in the cost of spreading lies and misinformation and harassment. I was routinely attacked by anonymous accounts. The common thing they say is people using other language than rust are dumb. A few weeks ago some people joined the nim discord and besides promoting rust, they started name calling. I stay miles away from rust, it has by far the worst community. It's shameful.
