If I had to guess speed is pretty close to C, right.
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.
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.
