We have no Nim usage in the company. One of our engineers nominated it as something they find personally interesting, and we wanted to give at least a little bit to every project that our employees nominated.

By contrast, we use Rust quite heavily, including our core ingest component: https://github.com/getsentry/relay.

That's why there's such a discrepancy in this case.




That's absolutely fair and we appreciate the donation a lot.

One additional thing that would have been fairly cheap: call out the smaller open source projects you donated to. To some the exposure can mean a lot in a blog post like this :)


We're thinking through how to follow up on this post with additional signal-boosting throughout the year, point taken about exposure value to small projects. We'll keep that in mind!

Thanks for Nim and keep up the great work! :^)
