For me, the biggest advantage of Nim compared to other hagh-performance languages (C, C++, Rust, …) is that it doesn't overcomplicate simple things. I wrote an article about it: https://xigoi.neocities.org/nim-doesnt-get-in-the-way.html

The syntax is very pleasant to write and read, even I have some small issues with it. No unnecessary noise like braces and semicolons, no misusing the less-than and greater-than signs as brackets.

Also, it uses terminology more correctly than other languages. Procedures are procedures, not “functions”. Resizable arrays are called sequences, not “vectors”. Immutable variables are immutable variables, not “constants”.

The standard library is quite good (though it could use improvements) and extensive enough that you don't get hundreds of dependencies per project like in JavaScript or Rust.
