Nim is really very nice language to write software in. Ship fast, enjoy the ride, produce very performant software. Unfortunately it still in my experience has some sharp edges: juggling C/C++ compilers and options, very poor error messages, very situational libraries that only work on some settings and systems. Given the small community, tho, I can't really fault them for it. The VS Code integration works very well in my experience, rarely crashing.

the shitty error messages and poor tooling are the biggest problems of nim imo. Its overall a great language otherwise

At least error reporting has been improved recently: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2023/03/31/version-20-rc2.html
