You need to define meritocracy.

There's plenty of excellent software engineers paid pennies to work on difficult problems because they live in countries with very low wages.

And plenty of people in silicon valley being wildly overpaid to copy paste javascript from stack overflow.

Plenty of companies provide mostly unhealthy snacks.

Also, encouraging workers not to spend time out of the building is not so healthy, physically and mentally.

And it's not meant to be a perk. It's mean to keep people glued to the chair.

> How many times do people who are good at their jobs get promoted just because there isnt anywhere else to go?

Sometimes, yes. I also saw terrible developers being promoted into management to get them out of the technical work.

> the problem with languages like Nim is lack of support and maturity

It was the same for Linux, Python, Ruby. Being community-driven can be a bug or a feature.

> Go is more versatile

Nim has macros, templates, overloading and compiles to C, JS, Objective-C. Runs on more architectures than Go including arduino microcontrollers.

> mature than anything out there

Go is not more mature than C, C++, Java, Python, Perl...

> You need a solid financial backing

See Linux, Python, Ruby... many projects had no big company or funding behind them.

> What do you say touching the disks is? Like physical touch, or logging in and looking at the logs?

There is a reason why foresics data capture devices are so expensive and certified never to touch a bit.

> I don't think both of those can be attributed to tampering of evidence, like criminal tampering since you use the word 'accused'

There has been various cases of people accused of destruction of evidence for wiping (allegedly) compromised hosts.
