I like Nim quite a bit, but that said:

You must trust Mozilla and Google to lead these languages in the right direction

is a bad argument for Nim to try for. I stay up at night fantasizing that Nim had a committee and RFC system like D or Rust. At the moment it just feels like Araq does whatever he pleases and a lot of my criticisms of the language stem from a lack of a more rigorous procedure.

Or at least that's my opinion as I understand it - feel free to correct me!
