Given how demanding ESR is with regards to 10+ years stability, Nim hasn't even reached 1.0 yet. I love Nim and your contribution to the Nim ecosystem, but yeah, convincing ESR with 0.16.0 isn't happening.

Nim could be ideal for applications like NTP that require speed, portability and low memory footprint.

I wonder if the ease of development already outweighs the efforts required to keep up with the language growth pains and writing wrappers for system libraries where needed.
