The most popular nim repository on Github except nim-lang itself is OffensiveNim which basically is a collection implementation of malware features in nim. It's a very popular language for red teamers. This has nothing to do with signed binaries.

So what’s the reason for Go? It too is eloquent enough to be able to write malware?
Golang binaries are had to analyze (or rather were, new tooling, etc). Assume vendors and automation are 5 years behind everyone else actually doing malware analysis by hand. Most of this blocking is probably running off of signatures and not behavior.
