* Nim is in top 50 for [GitHub
"star"](https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/stars/2018/4) and "issue" events.
* Nimble (Nim's module registry) ecosystem is [among the fastest growing
percentage-wise](https://www.reddit.com/r/nim/comments/9rf1ob/happy_800_modules_nimbles_ytd_growth_beats_d_c/).
* Several companies are already [using Nim in
production](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Companies-using-Nim).
* There are 550+ Nim examples [on Rosetta
Code](https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Nim), so you can see its syntax
compares favorably to other systems languages.
* It performs better than nearly all other languages in many benchmarks
(search for yourself).
* Nim is as portable as C or JavaScript, which makes it more portable than
most other languages (including Java, .NET, and LLVM based languages). I've
seen Nim run on a dozen obscure operating systems. It also executes well on old
computers and microcontroller hardware.
* You can run Nim binaries on any major cloud provider. You can also compile
Linux cgi binaries (ex. in VirtualBox) and run them on most cheap / free shared
hosting providers.
