It's cool to see Nim in the wild, you don't hear about it often

It really could use a good corporate sponsor and a couple of widely known success stories.

From what I've seen it _seems_ the language's creator is not interested in corporate sponsorship. It's been some time since I was interested in Nim, so I don't have any direct references to this claim. A web search would probably provide several examples. It was one of the main reasons why I decided to focus on other languages.

In many ways it already has a corporate sponsor (and has had it for many years now). It's actually the company that built this framework.

AIUI, Reddit uses it for some internal tools. They would be a good backer.

this is a who comes first, chicken or egg

Nim is one of those languages that tries to be everything for everyone, trying to fill the range from python to C++

If Nim had any strategic edge anywhere, someone smart would have picked it up to build something very successful and it would have had more sponsors

It sits in the sweet spot for projects like nitter--which is not the kind of work that's attracting investment right now, but that's due to markets being a clumsy tool for deciding what should be done and nothing to do with Nim's merits.

Being a generalist isn't easy.
