But they're both statically typed GC languages that compile to native binaries. Versus Zig which has no GC and is more akin to C, Rust, Ada, that sort of thing

  With ARC Nim is also very akin to Ada and Rust: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/10/15/introduction-to-arc-orc-in-nim.html https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/10/15/introduction-to-arc-orc...

    > ORC is Nim’s all-new cycle collector based on ARC. It can be considered a full-blown GC since it includes a local tracing phase (contrary to most other tracing GCs which do global tracing). ORC is what you should use when working with Nim’s async because it contains cycles that need to be dealt with. From that blog post. Nim is great but it's more Go and less Rust...

      > more Go and less Rust Not at all, it does not have a runtime with a built-in thread pool and channels like Go.
