At a glance, the writing is very friendly, fun and sincere. Indeed, there is a lot of competition in computer languages, and you need some strong supporters (such as games or corporate sponsorship) to survive.
At the very least, the book looks like a good introduction to computer programming in general (not just Nim).
My introduction long ago was the 'commodore 64 programmer reference guide'. The mix of hardware, graphics, sid sound, BASIC and assembly language was great for the curious, learning by taking things/programs apart (and sometimes put them back together) while small enough to fully grasp.
Then moved from basic to assembly, pascal, c, python, c++ (and cuda). Wouldn't mind trying Nim or Rust next. Reading such nice book makes it inviting.
