The community isn't robust enough to foster such an attitude unless we're fine 
with being seen as the amish of the world of programming languages, much like 
how the suckless.org community is in the domain of GNU/Linux software.

The simple answer to attracting more people is by showcasing attractive 
software/libraries and attractive software/library-making capabilities that 
scale well. Can Nim easily make a performant and well-made website that 
competes with popular frameworks and design implementations? Can Nim quickly 
handle elaborate task automation? Can I easily use Nim to make a reactive 
(alterable) simulation to demo a phenomena in my quantum mechanics class? Can I 
feasibly develop a robust CRM or inventory manager with Nim? Can I sanely 
combine Python and C++ libraries? Being able to confidently answer and 
demonstrate questions like these gives reason to believe Nim is capable of 
delivering the immense value it promises.

Currently I think it's too soon to call for a showcasing hub. The ecosystem for 
well-made libraries and well-made software is still in its infancy and we would 
be ahead of our ourselves as a community to start showcasing anything.
