Well the Nim team at Status is a separate team working on an open source Ethereum 2.0 implementation, rather than any blockchain 'product' (unless you count a working 2.0 client as a product).
Their goal is to get Eth2.0 (and 1.0) running on very low resource environments such as raspberry pi and turnstiles.
What this should tell you is that:
* Nim is close to the metal enough to run with high performance and low resources.
* In a cutting edge research arena, where the math is still being decided, Nim allows such rapid prototyping that the team is on par with much larger teams in much more established languages.
* All the tools required to build an ethereum platform are present and running, such as security, encryption, and networking such as devp2p. Here's their eth library docs for some of the contributions: https://nimbus-libs.status.im/lib/nim-eth/ https://nimbus-libs.status.im/lib/nim-eth/
Status is pretty dedicated to open source, and whilst they're the biggest patreon donor, the Nim team is completely autonomous.
