Having seen multiple young open source projects, like Nim, play themselves out over the course of my many years in the Bitcoin space, I expect the savviest developers at this point to benefit most from Nim by establishing themselves as core contributors.

The devs who got into Bitcoin on the ground floor in 2011 and 2012 are three years later on the most sought after venture backed teams, with the whole world hanging onto their every last word. Young and profoundly promising languages like Nim offer a similar opportunity if you're willing to risk it.

It could very well be better to use the myriad of other, more mature and stable languages to solve truly pressing issues. Nim is very young, and the risk:reward ratio is skewed more towards contributors than users who can't risk bugs.
