Nim only went 1.0 at the end of 2019, almost 5 years after Rust went 1.0, and my impression is that Nim has a pretty dedicated and healthy user-base as far as newer languages go. I wouldn't write it off yet.

Probably also Rust having a novel memory management model and being backed by a large organisation (Mozilla) had a lot to do with its early success.
