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.
