> Do you think that Nim will have a future ? Definitely. It is open source and liked by thousands of programmers (most of whom are waiting for it to stabilize and mature). No matter what happens, there will be some people interested in developing Nim.
As I recently posted, [Nim's package ecosystem count](https://www.reddit.com/r/nim/comments/9rf1ob/happy_800_modules_nimbles_ytd_growth_beats_d_c/) shows faster yearly percentage growth than almost all other languages. If things go well, Nim will continue to grow - like Python took over 25 years to gradually grow from obscurity to dominance. If things go badly, this growth will fall below other languages so Nim will never leapfrog them, but it will definitely have a future. > How to make this beautiful language more recognized so that they take more > importance ? Nim needs a "[killer app](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_application)". This doesn't necessarily mean a specific app, like Rails was for Ruby - it can be a general pattern, some clear specific thing that Nim does better than its competitors. My position is that Nim should embrace the niche of being [the most libertarian programming language](https://voat.co/v/programming/2853775): no [restrictive licenses](http://copyfree.org) / patents, no mega-corp sugar-daddies, no "dumb it down to reduce programmer replacement costs", no CoCs, highest portability, etc. But I remain alone in advocating this... So hopefully someone else will come up with a better unique advocacy argument for Nim...
