Why should such comparison be unreasonable? The fact that a compiler internally produces C/Assembly/Brainfuck/whatever code to produce the final binary should be relevant only for computer science theorists, not for the majority of the users out there (like me). Also, I find one of your statements quite contradictory: by saying that Rust's compiler "is written in itself", you seem to imply that Nim is not. But this is not true: Nim's compiler is almost 100% pure Nim. (Last but not least: to me it seems not true that Nim "only compiles to C", as it provides multiple backends. See here: http://nim-lang.org/backends.html http://nim-lang.org/backends.html .)
