Not everyone can write effective articles, and writing articles also takes a lot of time and effort. Writing comments advertising the language is usually the next best thing. I wrote a couple of Nimrod benchmarks including the one you linked to. But it again takes time, and I would prefer to improve the language and its tools than to be writing tons of benchmarks. I really wish more people gave Nimrod a serious chance because it is truly a brilliant programming language and it really deserves to get more exposure. Nimrod's target user base very much clashes with Go's, I hear about Python programmers switching to Go because it reminds them of Python so much. Well, I don't see it. But Nimrod is definitely a fast and compiled Python with lots of extras.
