This is my personal experience, ymmv, and maybe somebody needed coffee or something, but! I've found the zig community more friendly and open-minded than the Nim community. Again, one person, one experience, I like them both, yada yada. I suggest you have a look at both of them, and decide. The Nim book is very good. I would NOT call using zig or nim a waste of time; yes, the ecosystem matters. But decent languages + good libraries for what you need to do = Total Win. IHMO, this is why Python wins so bigly in the (increasing) influence it has. C wins, and will always win, I think, because it's the closest we have to a portable assembly language. We'll see, re: wasm. Maybe wasm will be the 'pdp-11' of computing for the 21st century.
