Someone really needs to show Nim to the author :). It checks all of their boxes and then some

Yep it’s ideal for this sort of application without the headache of Rust. Plus it’s helpful it can compile to C,C++, or JavaScript. So take your pick.

I was thinking that too. There are many cases where you do want to manage memory yourself, and in that case you should likely use Rust or maybe Zig if you can choose your own tool. But if you don't want to manage your own memory Nim works nicely, though IMO it requires adherence to a style guide more than most languages.

Depends what you do but most of the time you do not need to do anything special about memory management in Rust. That is why people try to use it for other things then just system programming.
