Rust seems to get serious corporate support, which future-proofs it and guarantees ecosystem growth. Not sure about Nim.

Edit: others mentioned Julia, and it indeed looks like a valid choice since they don’t seem to program embedded or safety-critical stuff.

Well, maybe, but IME expecting scientists to have high level thoughts like that about programming language ecosystems is expecting too much.
