If Nim went to the olympics, it would get a bronze or silver metal in five or six different areas, which is very impressive indeed. I think it's overlooked because gold is what draws attention.

If you wear enough hats to appreciate Nim in more than one of its dimensions, your attention is necessarily split enough to not evangelize so loudly for it in any one. People don't want practical, they want provocative.
