I don't think they count as a "better C" for this purpose. I'm thinking of something aiming at the niche that C currently fills. Having a garbage collector doesn't fit that, and Nim doesn't look small (anything with both destructors and exceptions is getting into complications rather beyond C).

Regardless, I use Nim when I need the performance and memory footprint of C. GC is optional.

  Right, that's exactly the « it would be hard to compete against the alternative of using a small subset of {whatever} » case.

  Can you use the standard library without GC?

    Most of it.
