I used Nim in several projects in the past. The language has much to love, but the tooling is awful. If you're fine coding using JOE/Nano/Pico, then I would say: go for it, you'll surely enjoy the experience! But if you are accustomed to IDEs to do refactoring/automatic formatting/test execution/logging/etc., it's better to look somewhere else. Even basic functionalities in the VSCode extension are buggy.



There has been good effort recently put in tooling https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/12083
