For someone used to languages like Python and Go, Nim's kitchen sink approach can be a bit intimidating.
Quoting [someone's comment from YComb News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11959437): > Nim is great, and I use it (in production), but I know exactly why it isn't > as popular: **_Nim is Æ*ÆÆÈÅÄ huge_**. > > Most other very complete languages are not compiled so you can kinda muck > around in a repl and use introspection to figure out whats going on.

They are easier to teach and easier to write documentation for. As I keep emphasizing, Nim needs to break out of obscurity in order to be a great language, and marketing matters. Pardon my philistinism, but a third kitchen sink will not make Nim better as far as most programmers are concerned. I think making Nim more appealing to Python programmers is the best way forward.
