I will never say anything negative about Jai (except that it's not actually 
available). A friend of mine watches all the Jai videos. I'm glad to see 
someone else recognizes brilliance.

But Nim fits an important niche: Migration paths from C++ and Python. Because 
of the easy interop, you don't have to re-write an entire program all at once. 
It's amazing how many devs don't understand why that matters.

If I were coding a giant program from scratch, there are lots of languages that 
I would consider, including Nim. But I'm not a Nim zealot. I use it because 
it's productive (Python-like syntax), fast (to compile and to run), 
conceptually simple, and gives me a way to migrate co-workers' code to a modern 
language gradually.
