I'm going to be honest, I haven't checked Nim in like 4 years or 
so, so things may have changed quite a bit since then, but last I 
checked the claim made by it supporters were gross exaggeration, 
if not outright lies in some cases.

I don't think the aggressive over promotion of anything, 
anywhere, was ever helpful to anyone except people running pump 
and dump schemes, so I've always wondered what the Nimzoïds are 
trying to achieve here.

This is very annoying and give a very impression of the language 
and its community, especially when one tries it and see that the 
picture that is being sold is miles away from the reality of the 
field.
