I want to be careful not to give the impression that I have 
inside knowledge on these things. If you're getting outside 
funding, there is uniquely one thing that you focus on - making 
money. The two devs that are working on Nim full-time will not be 
working on things that are in the interest of anyone other than 
the company paying their salaries. That may or may not be good 
for the community.
