I think the maintainers of Nim would disagree with your assessment given that the first sentence on the front page of Nim's official website is: "Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language." As someone else pointed out, when using Nim with its ARC/ORC and move semantics (which will eventually be the default), it's closer to Rust than to Go. That being said, Nim's current default GC does well for many kinds of workloads. If it's really causing a performance problem, it's possible to disable it and manage memory manually (or use a different language for the task at hand, of course).
