Nim has been on a steady path of improving tooling support[0] since 2.0 release.

LSP is a lot more stable now than even a couple months ago.

That's what I love from community-driven languages: while BDFL isn't very passionate about tooling, people have spoken and gears are turning to improve it[1].

It also helps that there is a company around (Status) that's using Nim in production and wants to invest money and dev-time[2] in the language.

Nice, I'll have to check it out again this year. Might be a good chance to look into Helix, too.
