Programmers typically develop whatever it is that they need. I implemented Jester because I needed a web framework, async IO in the stdlib because I wanted Jester to utilise async sockets, and many other projects for various reasons. Sometimes you do things for fun as well, I built Aporia and Nimble for fun. I think that the answer to your questions is: because no Nim programmer had the need for it nor the want to build it. It seems that you want these projects to exist, why not build them? These projects are not something that the core Nim team should worry about. Maybe you disagree?
