I wish Nimrod were more popular.  It seems like a better version of D.  But there can only be so many languages with a fully functioning ecosystem, and I just doubt Nimrod will ever get there.  It seems to be a one-man shop at this point (as this demonstrates):&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Araq/Nimrod/graphs/contributors&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;Araq&amp;#x2F;Nimrod&amp;#x2F;graphs&amp;#x2F;contributors&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

A GC you can switch on and off sounds like a good idea, but programmers don&amp;#x27;t keep half the promises they make (&amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s just an MVP, I&amp;#x27;ll refactor it to use manual memory later&amp;quot;).</text></comment>
