For me (and inv2004) Nim, runs faster than Rust on your RosettaBoy project.. But perf usually depends on an awful lot of territory that is routinely unexplored before conclusions are bandied about. The Nim installation & tooling experience unfortunately can be rough. OTOH, it has like <1% the funding/exposure. Also, I find the "100s of packages dependencies" for any non-trivial Rust program to be pretty awful, as well as reading other people's Rust code (a point made more salient by all the deps). Anyway, there are many dimensions/axes by which to evaluate most things in life and usually no objective way to weight/combine them into a single overall score. So, it's often good to keep an open mind. (Not saying you don't do so personally!)
