Yet.
I need to remind people that Minecraft, a hugely popular game in the "real world", was originally written in Java. Not the kind of language you'd expect a game from. (I will agree that Java is probably not the right tool for the job though ^^').
This is the kind of thing where nobody will use it, until someone does. And proves the viability of the language. Nim has the potential to be a good gamedev language, but lacks the maturity.

- roblabla 9y agoYou seem to be conflating technical merit with widespread usage. The wishful thinking was about some big success game using such a technology. The technical merits were already presented by GP. And they are real. Besides, flying cars are way better. We need to keep looking into the future, otherwise we'll be stuck with what shitty technology we currently have.
