Nim shouldn't really be used in the same sentence as V. I've never used Nim, but I've never seen anyone out right say anything negative like that's said of V. The only thing close to "negative" regarding Nim I've seen is this, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36563796 and the thread it links to https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/10312

I could be wrong of course. Maybe someone can point to actual negative aspects of the language or the community that I'm not aware of.

Honestly if you're interested in Nim, go learn it. I've definitely seen it being used for a number of project, the most used that I know of is (was) nitter[1]

I’ve used Nim in the past. It is definitely not vaporware like V. It’s a pretty pleasant language although I’ve since moved on to Zig.
