Having worked in a Hebrew School I get that Nimrod was a hero, but in most of the world Nimrod is an insult.

While "rust" is typically not a positive thing, it does imply 'aged' which can be a good thing in a programming language.

I understand that Nimrod is typically about as fast as Go and Rust in performance, but Google's adoption of Go does offer Go a significant advantage as a CV/Career builder.

The title of this thread is a bit misleading as the page doesn't really talk about why Nimrod is a good alternative.

Git is an insult too.
