Isn't Nim (and almost all of its standard library) garbage collected by default? I've been very intrigued by Nim but it seems that while it has nice native/C code generation, it opts into my least favorite element of "high-level" languages.
It is, yes, however it's a bit different to most other GC-based languages in that it's soft-realtime tracing GC. In addition, you can manage your memory completely manually if you like, and in-fact thats how you interface with C libraries, which I can say from experience works much nicer than I honestly expected going in to it.
