You are right, that is bad for selling the book. But is it honest to leave it out? Generally, when I talk about Nim with more or less experienced programmers, they say about Nim: A one man project, with no support of a big company, no features not also available by other languages, tiny community, no killer app, no special area where it is better than all others, no jobs. Has not gained much traction in more than 12 years, will vanish soon. Of course we know that all these arguments against Nim have not that much value, that is why we use Nim. But fully ignore these critics? Well, for a beginner book we could indeed ignore these points, as beginner do not yet know arguments against Nim, so we can present only the bright side.
