Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!): * Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell * Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library. * Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue * Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim * Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort= * Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C

and C++ interop, you get access to a lot of gamedev libraries! * Embedded: this is a domain I know very little about but for example https://github.com/elcritch/nesper or https://github.com/PMunch/badger for fun Nim+embedded stuff! Most of the disadvantages come from tooling and lack of $$$ support.
