I don't think it's an either or. Nim will always have some kind of GC. I interpreted the question more as "how important is no-GC programming in Nim to you". Think of competing with languages like C++ and D that allow an all-RAII solution to some problems. D in particular, since D has a GC, and the community is now addressing ways to deal with the challenges of applications that must NOT invoke it or even include in a runtime.
