* Goroutines are probably a lot more easier to use. Work is being done to make Nim even better in that area: https://github.com/nim-works/cps https://github.com/nim-works/cps but don't expect it soonish.
* I feel like Go has less 'edge cases', but the Nim compiler is steadily getting more stable, especially consider it's not backed up by a major company!
* Metaprogramming is really powerful, but not beginner friendly. The documentation says use macros when necessary, but personally I don't think that really happens in practice.
The advantages by far outweigh the disadvantages, especially if you are looking for a clean Go alternative(except maaaaaaybeee web application).
EDIT: my own wishlist, but they aren't relevant compared to Go:
* Better sum types
* Builtin pattern matching
