At the time when Go and Rust were conceived Nim would have certainly not been on their radar. Both were announced in 2009, at a time when the Nimrod repository had barely even got off the ground[0]. And Nim doesn't really address one of Apple's chief concerns: smoothly transitioning away from Objective-C.
Nim is pretty awesome and has been around for a while. I wish one of big entities out there Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple would have adopted Nim and ran with it instead of inventing their own langauges.
