Yes indeed. I for instance can not wait Kotlin-native to materialize because... Because Kotlin has a usable IDE already. Nim is a great language, although rough on the edges. Add lack of libraries or need of wrapper generation to the equation, also add lack of a decent IDE.. I am privileged enough to have liberty of picking my battles so one of my requirements for getting work done is to also feel a pleasure doing it. Writing nim code in a notepad which has some IDE features that may or may not work (auto-complete from nimsuggest is really iffy, in source code of compiler especially) is suboptimal. Add debugging experience which due to various reasons is not greatest.. It is hard to justify using Nim over c++ or python. It is a shame though because language is really nice and with some polish it could be a great alternative to already established languages. Keeping fingers crossed for some brave soul coming forward and making IntelliJ plugin for nim.
