gollark: Specifically, not many people use it, it has a big set of somewhat weirdly interacting features, and there are bizarre quirks all over the place.
gollark: Nim is quite cool, because it's designed roughly as I would design a programming language, but it also has the disadvantage of being designed roughly as I would design a programming language.
gollark: Anyway, Rust is very robust and cargo is great, but I also take ages to write anything good in it and everything has something like 250 dependencies.
gollark: I really like Lua's concurrency model.
gollark: Definitely, Python has tons of weird special-casing and complex features.
