The implementation details and the development ethos differ, but from the pragmatic point they compete, offering higher abstraction level over C. Moreover:
- Both took some inspiration from languages of Wirthian family.
- Both promise easy onboarding and high readability.
- Both rely on automatic memory management by default.
On the other hand, I agree that Nim feels and functions totally different while offering much more possibilities. You can definitely call Nim the anti-Go, but it doesn't negate the fact it could absolutely shine in the same domains, at least with a bit more love, attention and funding.
