Some subjective thoughts: Go constantly makes me jump through hoops and feels very rigid in its religious beliefs ("Thou shalt not want exceptions, thou shalt not want generics!"). Many of the syntax and capitalisation rules seem arbitrary, different for the sake of being different. I don't like the way Go code looks, even after using it for a while. Nim feels less pretentious overall. The syntax is familiar and pleasant to me, mimic'ing languages that I like (Ruby/Python). It packs most of the little conveniences (exceptions, generics, short-hand iterators etc.) that Go stripped for the sake of "purity". I've said it before: I hope for Nim to become the next (and faster) Ruby/Python, at which point it will very likely replace Go for me.
