The creator not being able to community manage was why I left Nim - not "forever", but I moved on to other things. The language has some good ideas, but at that time development seemed to be heavily guided by two trolls who hung out in the IRC and complained, every day, about how they would never ever be able to do their projects without this one feature. Eventually I got into it with them and nobody got banned...which, of course, said to me that he was OK with toxicity, so I couldn't be bothered to stay.

That, and a lot of the more advanced features were just broken.
