Yeah, I have been programming for about a year, and messed around with a few 
languages (C# and Python mostly), then fell in love with C due to its 
simplicity. Unfortunately, that simplicity made some things a pain to do (for 
me at least). I have no idea how to sell Nim to a broader audience, but I love 
it because it lets me reason about problems as I would in C, but with tonnes of 
QoL improvements that make things much more approachable to me, as a hobbyist 
programmer. Pretty much the opposite of Rust, which seems brilliant in many 
ways, but made me want to cry every time I tried to do anything remotely 
complicated with it.

It would be nice if there was more material available for learning how to work 
with Nim. Moreover, I think it is such an ideal first language for people to 
learn, that it would be fantastic to have resources geared towards teaching 
programming, using Nim. I would love to be able to contribute something myself, 
but based on where I am in my own learning, I wouldn't feel confident to do so. 
Plus I can barely find the time to do the programming I want to do, never mind 
try to blog about it .
