It's been a long time since I came across Nim. I thought it was really interesting about 12 years ago. What made you land on Nim instead of any of the more obvious alternatives?

I was looking for something that allows easy access to direct memory, with a syntax thats a little easier to explain than C. Frankly, zig was not actually a real viable option based on that syntax requirement but I still wanted to explore it.

Nim really is clean and simple.
